Yeah it’s pretty lame.

I will say in its benefit that if there is to be AI-summaries as answers to search queries, this has the right ideas: List your sources atop, even have a separate sources tab, include direct quotes where possible (though this feature is weird, I don’t always get it, maybe topic-specific).

I still don’t like it (just link me to the bloody source instead) but I know a ton of people who explicitly want those AI-summaries as their answers, and this at least exposes what was used to create the answer.

Rubbish, but on a conceptual level doing better.

Oh that’s a fork that’s explicitly about having less options for the user then?

Of course they will! /cough

Not at all, they can still require apps to be signed, so long as you’re free to allow app installations. They’ll weasel out by saying the signing is for safety/security reasons, to avoid malware and shit.

That reminds me of a friend back in WoW who said she once broke off a relationship after coming home from a holiday and finding out her boyfriend had become her girlfriend.

Yeah we already established in the premise I find them attractive. Of course I would.

Yeah? Why was that ever in question in this context?

Of course, but whether you’re decentralized or not has nothing to do with whether you as someone running a service has to decide for themselves whether to block Mississippi users or risk legal consequences?

Each instance still has an owner. Just like the Bluesky CEO, they need to decide whether the (legal) risks are worth it to them and whether they can cover the (legal) costs if needed.

For any individual instance owner, this changes nothing.

How come plenty federated stuff is also blocking people then? Apparently that alone does not help?

As evident by Lemmy instances not doing the same thing. /s

There’s a difference between being decentralized and doing something illegal, you know?

Entirely understandable. Like you say, it’s not your fight. This is more so if one creates something and isn’t even from the US, if the wankers in a specific US state elect shitty government, that’s not on you in a wholly different country to go up against.

No, never had that problem.

Is this on a custom Android distro?

I mean some, yeah. It’s a community-run system, so naturally for every bad user, there’s a bad mod, too.

But there’s also a good mod for every good user, basically.
