Having Fedi folks agreeing with 4chan is not on my bingo card this year, or ever.
Deferent but similar
Well the internet is written mostly by bots. Everything needs Id and spying. We may end up building a new internet so fuck the old internet
We’ll build a new internet with blackjack and hookers.
Just like it used to be.
NomadNet feels a bit like a new old internet.
Meshtastic-Net
Oh meshtastic is really cool but even without GPS broadcasting, it is FAR from private. There are some serious flaws with its encryption apparently that the devs don’t want to address, and im like 99% sure you can just be triangulated anyway.
That being said, meshtastic is awesome and everyone should try it. Its a lot of fun and you can “meet” cool people in your community who are kind of makerspace-adjacent and usually kind in general.
Also don’t listen to the meshcore grifters, meshcore is proprietary and requires you to pay for licenses to use its full feature set. They’re like reverse Linux users who just show up whenever meshtastic is mentioned to try to convince you to give your freedoms away.
Some of us like (and play with) both systems - both are fun and have their individual pros and cons.
as a side note nothing is paywalled off in meshcore however there is a soft lock (10 second wait) for some bits. Not saying I like / agree with it but worth mentioning its not a hard pay wall.

Like a LAN party just a lil bigger.
I might not like what you have to say, but I’ll defend to death, your right to say it kinda shit
Within reason. Libel, incitement to violence, hate speech, etc, should be illegal for obvious reasons
There is an obvious reason why countries like Germany make a strong stance against any “trolling” nazi joke/imagery/salute.
But America’s First Amendment seems to not understand that reason (or only understand when it is weaponized against communism, black people, trans rights and all the “woke culture” stuff)

Like alot of things in the USA, laws are selectively enforced to protect the status quo.
“Youre anti fascist? Youre a terrorist!”
America’s first amendment doesn’t grant a total right to free speech. Conspiracy to commit murder is just speech, but is very much illegal, and so is copyright infringement.
The permission of unrestricted hate speech is what leads the people like your current president being your current president.
It’s ridiculous for the UK to issue fines to a company who doesn’t operate in the country. Just block access if that’s whatever your stupid laws dictate.
EU fined number of tech giants before, this is not new. If you have users and derive income from a country, you are operating in this country.
Those tech giants operate in the EU and have EU customers. 4Chan does neither and stores no user data. At that point the onus is on the user and the UK/EU should be going after their own citizens that use it if they have a problem with it being used. Ideally, they wouldn’t go after anyone but here we are.
That’s like saying that a company can freely import guns into a country where they are banned, but it’s all the civilians fault if they buy any.
4Chan does neither
Which word from what I said caused you trouble?
What? And let loose what is basically an opportunity for a bribe?
Welp, i agree with 4chan.
Inb4 major Lemmy instances get banned
I would normally be sympathetic to their stand except earlier this year when this first started, they called on Trump to use all available political leverages to prevent this and protect free speech. Calling on Trump to protect free speech is just absolutely ridiculous.
We’re allowed to call it retarded now at least
/s
the UK is fucked
At least they are a little less fucked now lmao
4chan is full of assholes, but blocking websites is pretty fucked. what person wants their government doing that?
None of us do. Most of us have started using VPNs ever since this law came into effect.
4chan is an extreme example of an unmoderated site - indeed it’s what the OSA was designed to combat. If this legislative test fails, it would undermine the acts legitimacy, and provoke questions as to it’s existence.
It’s a shit law - it’s not fit for purpose. Its sole reason for existence is to controle public speech, not protect the children.
hands on hips “That’ll stop them.” /s
UK is ultra lame for this.
Most fucking annoyingest law ever.
United Kondom
As shitty as 4chan is, as dumb and pointless as that UK legislation is, we STILL invited Trump to dine with the King. The Royal family didn’t even invite thier own pedo.
Don’t they ban VPNs lol? Been years since I even thought about this place
