We need some kind of dashboard online with an overview of all the events on a timeline, just like you created.

Or a smartphone app that only pushes trial news and updates.

If he gets arrested later when he surrenders, beside a mugshot, do they also weigh Trump? Measure his height?

It’s not an AUTOMATIC disqualification, it still needs to be adjudicated

I might have mistaken what was written, but the scholars in the paper explicitly point out section 3 is ‘self-executing’. ~Which means it does not require adjuducation.~ I was mistaken, see comment below.

If it happened before, that doesn’t mean it was necessary.

Voyager is now available as a native app in the app/play store

Voyager is extremely impressive for what it is - webapp

It’s not only a webapp anymore, but also available as native app now

For those who are interested: MSNBC publishes a podcast called “Prosecuting Donald Trump” and the episode dated August 1st features former federal judge Michael Luttig who is interviewed about various subjects, including his tweets concerning the standpoint of Eastman in January 2020 that implied Trump could have Pence declare the election invalid. Which was nonsense.

No, this is the most serious lacking feature IMO.

But you could of course simply register your username at multiple instances and subscribe to the same communities. As there’s no ‘followers’ like on Mastodon, the effect is the same.

If that’s so, these instances (and who knows which other ones in the world) now host OPs and comments that I as an author decided to delete.

How does one delete information from the fediverse? If this is true, you cannot. Your data will be hosted forever, at least somewhere.

If people use their personal name for an account, this might result in a significant GDPR problem for all instances.

Just to be sure.

Nobody thinks it’s a good idea to improve education, medical care, urban problems, rural poverty, transportation, Medicare, Medicaid and labor unions? Right?

I’m asking for somebody else.

What’s the average life expectancy of a 77 year old former president with a diet that consists of fried chicken?

I’m not registered on this instance, so your comment is completely wrong. It’s also a personal attack, but you don’t even know me.

As soon as an administrator starts deciding I cannot access Threads, I obviously will move if I want to see Threads posts.

I’m quite dumbstruck however by the large amount of people that think an administrator should block a server like Threads even before they have started using ActivityPub.

Except:

• how do you decide what company is a threat and what company isn’t?
• the users that consider Meta already a threat can block Threads themselves

Why would you want an administrator to make those decisions on your behalf?

I don’t get it. Many Lemmy users left Reddit because they didn’t like the way Reddit approached the API situation and complaints that followed.

Why is it a good idea that a Lemmy server administrator decides for all it’s users they cannot read Threads posts?

Apparently, lemmy.ml already blocked Threads before Threads started using ActivityPub.

Personally speaking, I don’t like it if administrators start deciding for all users on their server what they can and cannot see (although they obviously have the right to do so).

If I want to follow a community or user in Threads, why should an administrator of a Lemmy server be able to prevent me from doing that? It also sounds rather silly, as it’s terribly easy to create multiple accounts on various Lemmy servers and read Threads posts that way.

Which, by the way, is also a great way to verify certain people. If a Lemmy account is registered on a server with a domain that is owned by a large broadcast company for example, it’s easy to check whether the user of that account is who that person claims to be.

The municipality of Amsterdam set up their own Mastodon server registered to amsterdam.nl, so it’s clear their Mastodon posts are genuinely from the municipality without any external verification schedule. If the mayor would want to post herself, she could simply get an account on that server and everybody knows it’s genuinely her.

From a functionality perspective there is no difference. I’m registered to a Dutch server with this account and can comment on all OPs that are visible to me.

The administrator of a server (domain or instance) can block other servers (domains or instances) however. So if Meta not only starts it’s own Twitter-like platform, but also it’s own Reddit-like platform, it could be that administrators block access to the Meta server.

The best example for Mastodon (which uses the same federation protocol as Lemmy) is the Truth Social platform on which former president Trump publishes his posts. The administrators of Truth Social blocked access to all other servers on the fediverse, so Truth Social doesn’t federate at all. And I presume administrators of many other servers block access to Truth Social.

So from that aspect, you might think through on what server you register. Might the administrator block access to certain servers? Do you want that or not? etc.

But you can also take location into consideration with regard to legal questions. I personally do not want to register on a server in certain countries if for example the GDPR is not enforceable.

I mean that Lemmy feels like Reddit on a slow content week

Check. That’s true.

I doubt a slow responsiveness has to do with wefwef.

Your account appears to be registered to lemmy.world. Might that be the reason why the past week was slow?
