What will Apple do if they if the EU continues their plans with regard to client side scanning? That’s not one country, but many.

Apple previously planned on introducing client side scanning, but backed out after they received a high amount of critique.

What platform? Windows? Unix? Linux?

A close cousin of Lemmy is Mastodon. If you consider Lemmy a federated version of Reddit, then Mastodon is a federated version of Twitter.

The largest Mastodon server is probably Truth Social, on which former president Trump posts his messages after being banned from Twitter.

Truth Social uses the same protocol as Mastodon of Lemmy: ActivityPub. The difference: the Truth Social administrators blocked the Truth Social server from sending out messages to or receiving messages from other servers. So it’s a private Mastodon.

Bottom line: if you run your own Lemmy server you can block whatever server you want or none at all. And others can block your server if they want. If you create ab account at somebody else’s Lemmy server, the administrator can decide to block other Lemmy servers.

If you use a Mastodon account, it’s very easy to migrate to another server including your followers. Lemmy accounts do not appear to offer that functionality (yet?), but I expect a migration tool will be created in the future. So if an administrator decides to block another Lemmy server, but you don’t like that, you might easily move to another server. As of yet, you can’t however and need to create an account on another Lemmy server.

The beauty of federating servers is that everybody can setup their own server, provided they own a domain name.

In theory I could start a server registered to unanimousstargazer.social and create an account called @unanimousstargazer@unanimousstargazer.social and participate in the fediverse. If I choose to block Meta, then that’s my choice.

I agree people are unnecessarily making a fuzz about this, as it’s their own choice to join a server or not. The fediverse is open, so why can’t Meta join. That’s up to them. And if I want to block them, that’s up to me.

What was wrong with feddit.de?

I don’t understand why some people get so confused either. It’s just like choosing an e-mail provider.

Create the account, try it out, if you don’t like it, delete it. If you do like it, keep it. How hard can this be? Then again, it apparently is.

The client apps might help out by including an account creation wizard.

Or to put it in other words: what features are lacking?

Do people seriously miss ‘awards’ and other not very interesting functions.
