What are they gonna do? Shut down the central lemmy server?
They gonna ask John Lemmy to shut it down.
I like Lemmy but there’s like a few dozen of us. We’re politically less relevant than mumsnet.
Wait, what happened now? Do they want to ban Lemmy?
Nah don’t worry they can’t… why? Because all internet is web2 when Lemmy is web3 meaning it’s owned by no one therefore there isn’t a specific site that they can simply ban… the architecture of Lemmy is different from reddit and others because Lemmy are multiple instances owned by random people online that gather all in a what’s called an activity hub so in conclusion there isn’t a specific site That they can apply the ban on and we’re basically immune as long as no cp or such exists anywhere in the fediverse otherwise all governments would attack all instances and then it would become harder to rebuild the fediverse with all instances scattered without governments interferences against it, so as long as we are legal there’s no way for the government to apply any kind of bans on us don’t worry -
I personally don’t mind if tiktok gonna be blocked/closed
Look, I get it, I wouldn’t give a shit if TikTok imploded tomorrow and went out of business. I don’t use it. Actually, I would cheer on TikTok’s implosion. It’s a cesspool. However:
“First they came for the xxx and I didn’t care because I didn’t use or like xxx”…“and then they came for me or the thing I liked or used there was nobody left to defend me”
First, they came for the obviously government-funded data harvesting program, and I said nothing, because I think that’s a good thing actually.
They can come for tiktok because its a propaganda tool that harvests sensitive data en masse.
I just wish they’d go after FB, IG, Twitter, etc as well for doing the EXACT SAME THINGS that theyre claiming tiktok is doing.
The only issue with tiktok is China getting the info, not that the company harvests data and spreads propaganda.
I knew I shouldn’t have said anything, because I would have become everyone’s enemy. Please don’t generalize my words, because I have this opinion only about tiktok only.
Honestly, i totally agreed with you on TikTok.
Has there been threats or suggestions of a government blocking Lemmy, or is this just pessimistic anticipation?
The difference between the services in the image and Lemmy is …
THIS would be Lemmy:
More like the fediverse.
