You’re entitled to that opinion. You’re not entitled to misrepresent 70 year old letters to say something they didn’t say.

They’re referring to a political party in Israel not Israel itself.

Yeah but the tomato pureé you guys make is way more delicious than the tomato paste that comes out of tubes this guy is referring to.

Ahh. Then may very well not have been lie flat. Still would’ve been pretty comfy IME. And the food and beverage option are better.

They lied to you. Business class certainly fully reclines into a bed if you were flying Singapore Airlines, which is the only airline that flies non stop. There’s no first class on the non stop.

They also have a flight through Frankfurt, first class and business class on that plane (A380) definitely turn into a bed. In fact, in Suites class (first), the middle two seats combine to create a queen size bed.

Smart, put your headquarters somewhere that takes freedom of speech seriously, just like…. wait, where did you say they were headquartered again?

Pretty good is not at good as good.

I don’t know that much about aether, but I have a hard time imaging a voting system of governance that can’t be gamed.

True decentralization is nice but not a big deal for me. Given the open nature of Lemmy, the bar to moving instances is significantly lower than leaving Reddit. It would of course be very inconvenient, but so, it sounds, is aether.

Ultimately, to be accessible to average users, you need some amount of centralization it seems. Everything else is pretty science-projecty.

If you could migrate a community from one instance to another and have subscriptions update automatically, it makes the rogue instance admin a little less scary. But still a risk of course.

Isn’t aethers big thing that everything is ephemeral? If you look at reddits value from my perspective, it isn’t that.

It’s that there’s a huge amount of actual human experience and information available to me through google. Sure there’s a lot of astroturfing happening, but if I wanted a quick glimpse of what people thought about a product, my google search was “$product Reddit” to get a pulse. And then join those communities if I bought the product.

I don’t care about censorship resistance. Though I think the governance model improvements are a great thing that Lemmy could implement.

Oh interesting. I thought it was.

Oh interesting, I thought I had read that it did.

No question they’re scumny. But because I’m not browsing their instance logged into their platform, they can’t see what i grab. Maybe they can fingerprint requests my client makes to load images, but the text of posts is going to be grabbed from the federated instance I’m logged into.

They won’t inherently be able to tell me from any other lemmy.world user I don’t think.

Of course anything I post that goes over there as part of federation will be tagged to my user, but they won’t be able to track me across the entire internet from that the way they can if I were logged into their service.

I don’t know the exact privacy implications but I do know that I haven’t accepted their privacy policy which certainly limits what they can do (because they haven’t gotten me to agree that they can do anything they want).

Unless China blocks all activitypub traffic, that’s a losing game of whack-a-mole. Or I guess they could scrape the federations of the instances they want to block and add them in real time.

But yeah, you’re right it isn’t designed to evade state level censorship.

I mean maybe. Part of the beauty of this is that I also get to consume Threads content without being subject to any of their data collection outside of what I post and interact with. I can consume their content, they of course can consume mine, but they can’t actually track what I consume.

As of yesterday, the largest is of course Threads. Not sure if it’s actually mastodon, I assume not, but it does use ActivityPub and is part of the fediverse.

Or maybe not as a lot of people have pointed out that it isn’t actually federated with anything yet, so maybe it isn’t activitypub.

Per say is a giant pet peeve of mine.
