@aral have you evaluated DigitalOcean?

@aral I was briefly concerned you were a CCC stan, jeez what a thread. Sounds like a whole headache

@Gargron how does this interact with memes? Would posting a reaction image without crediting the photographer be a violation?

@thomasfuchs not a fan of OpenAI at all, but neither do I buy this classic copyright maximalist argument. A stolen car is unavailable to the owner; stolen texts or images used to train models are no less available, they're "non-rivalrous."

Many business models are impossible under copyright maximalism, including much of art, if you believe the argument Kirby Ferguson makes in "Everything is a Remix."

@evan providing a federated identity (a la OpenID…is that still a thing? Haven't logged in anywhere using my OpenID in ages, is OIDC the only remnant now?) could be acceptable, but why would an ISP want to accept the moderation burden of providing a social content platform, and why would people want their ISP to be in charge of their digital space like that?

People spent months raising the alarm that Trans Rescue's "Eden House" was vulnerable to attack and was likely to get raided by police, in hopes of reaching people before they moved into a known unsafe location. They blocked, deflected, took accounts private… and kept their "safe house" open in a country where it's illegal, and now just got raided. A totally preventable disaster, but Trans Rescue is run by negligent self-important doofuses with white savior complexes. https://mastodon.social/@trans_rescue/110583022928552076

FYI @aral ^^ since I noticed this via your boost
Happy to provide sources on this. Folks spent nervous months warning of this exact danger and trying to get any constructive response from TR, who only denied, hid, gaslit, and continued in their harmful path.
