You need way less money for this plan than you think. I'm still working on the framework, but start doing some research into starting a non-profit apartment complex. I believe this will be the easiest way to create a foothold to save the world.
People in homes (non-profit apartments), food in mouths (contracts with companies to become an internal job board for tenants + start moving grocery stores into the apartments), life enriched (entertainment, travel, work-life balance)
These are the building blocks required for life, and providing them with a servant mindset will inspire people to expect that everyone should have these. It's the same concept of "I had it this way [hard] when I was little, you should too"
Lemmy is a link aggregator, this guy posted a link to his website and a brief (albeit lacking, I will agree with you there) description of what the links were. I don't see any issue promoting free content in the forms of links on a link aggregator.
I also think there's sort of a social agreement that if you're going to make a comment about a post that exists purely as a link to elsewhere, you should probably click the link so that you know what is being discussed instead of what we're doing, discussing the link itself lol.
I dunno if you're trolling me or if your UI just looks different but
Having the link at the top of the post like this, because it's embedded into the actual post instead of the body like the second link, makes it pretty clear to me that that's a discussion link and not a podcast link
You don't even have to listen to a podcast to find out how misguided this comment is. Click the link, it's all transcribed. It's not a question, it's a guide.
If you're not interested in the content, scroll past instead of being rude to people.
I can't find a reference online (thanks enshitification!) but "head full of smoke" is a euphemism for being so emotional that you can't accomplish any tasks
I'm not certain of the intentions behind your comment. I think the comic agrees with you? It's implying that hatred causes your head to be full of smoke?
You're definitely right that I went a bit extreme with what I used as a reason against it, but I feel like the point still stands about "just ask before you slam people's servers with yet another bot on the pile of millions of bots hitting their F2B system"
In this scenario, I have multiple servers which are networked together and federated via ActivityPub but the server cluster itself is air gapped.
As to your questions about feasibility and purposes, I will admit I both didn't think about that, and should have been more clear that this air gapped federated instance was theoretical lol
Air gapping my service is the agreement you're talking about in this analogy, but otherwise I do actually agree with you. There is a lot of implied consent, but I think we have a near miss misunderstanding on one part.
In this scenario (analogies are nice but let's get to reality) crawling the website to check the MAU, as harmless as it is, is still adding load to the server. A tiny amount, sure, but if you're going to increase my workload by even 1% I wanna know beforehand. Thus, I put things on my website that say "don't increase my workload" like robots.txt and whatnot.
Other people aren't this concerned with their workload, in which case it might be fine to go with implied consent. However, it's always best to follow the best practices and just make sure with the owner of a server that it's okay to do anything to their server IMO
I'm not looking for a solution, I want to gain empathy so I can be a better leader for my peers and followers. I want to understand how you get through life and what affects this thing that makes you diverse from me so that I can positively impact the people around me.
I wish I understood this point of view better. I crunch through information, so I want it to be densely packed. I'd love to know why and how this helps you so I can better help my peers that are like you?
Well, you're here on Lemmy using the ActivityPub protocol. How's the experience been? Does the filtering fit your needs?
I realize you might be talking about the server side rather than for users, ie if you were gonna set up your own instance. In which case, what you're referring to is called "federation/defederation." My understanding is that you just have to go flip a switch on your backend to filter out a whole instance, a person, a community etc and nobody on your instance will see it anymore.
For whatever reason I'm struggling to remember how to properly explain the difference between push/pull protocols, but AP only moves data at a users request.
This means that if I follow you on Mastodon, and you comment on a post by some other third party which I have no interaction with, it's going to bring that comment to me and bring along any other related data. In this case, that means the post you commented on and all of the other comments and data related to that post.
This cycle works constantly, so I get content from the other side of the world because I (in reality, my instance, not me in particular) interacts with a chain of instances to keep data flowing
