Unsuprising.

I was following this case all week and the FTC really embarrassed itself. If this injunction was granted it would have been even more s suprising than the CMA coming out of nowhere to block the acquisition.

I think this could be a ticking DOS time bomb.

Someone manages to spam upload massive files to the largest Lemmy instances could wipe out a ton of smaller ones.

Not to mention scalability wise this seems like a nightmare… eventually the largest Lemmy instances will have petabytes of media data with 100s of gbs coming in per day, giving other instances no chance to sync with them.

I think the system architecture needs a significant review. This won’t scale.

And a continent is just a really big island.

Therefore a continent is actually just a big mountain.

I'm 100s of thousands behind all my peers who bought before the pandemic now because of this.

It's likely that I'll never catch up to them despite having a higher paying career.

Porn is literally what drives technology innovation.

Porn on Reddit was probably a good 10-20% of all it’s traffic.

As history has shown, a lot of the features that come to Lemmy will be added because porn. Embedded videos for example.

And as far as I can tell it’s just pictures right now.

Yea but the difference is most instances have ethical reasons for banning certain content.

Meta could randomly decide anti-meta content doesn’t belong on their platform. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is already the case.

Let say you comment somewhere that you make minimum wage, their algorithm picks up on it and now they have you as a low wage earner in their database.

This is a massive over simplification but illustrates the point.
