Might be worth remembering here that Lemmy instances, including .world are hosted by regular people. Not massive multinational companies worth billions who can engage the best legal talent around.

If Hollywood comes after a Lemmy instance, Holywood have a huge legal team and endless money. The Lemmy instance has some guy. They could quite literally destroy a persons life. With that in mind, I don't blame any instance owners for erring on the side of taking a stance that won't put them in the legal firing line.

That was a bit halfhearted. You didn't use the phrase 'hive mind' or anything.

OK, so you can login anonymously. Great.

The real question is; why would you want to, given that the dead bird site is a cesspool of extreme rightwing awfulness? What are you hoping to learn or take from being on there?

I've added <b></b><i></i> to the tags to be converted to markdown so that should be OK now.

I was thinking of creating a bot that took the RSS feed of album reviews from the Angry Metal Guy site and posted new album reviews to this Community. The site seems to post one or two a day on average.

But obviously, I'd like to hear people's thoughts on this idea. Not everyone loves bots so I'd like to gauge community reaction before I just go ahead on do it.

EDIT: Upvotes and favourable comments are a good sign so I've created it. I did a dry run to store all the historical reviews so everything the bot posts now should be brand new. This also means you might not see a new post for the next 24hrs depending on when AMG next update.

If it misbehaves let me know! And if it's awful or annoying I can easily disable it.

Bonden the champion pugilist? Davies who once beat up a bear? Padeen who breaks limbs for fun?

Signal have already said they will withdraw completely from the UK, as have WhatsApp, Session and a few others.

 

Apple has said planned changes to British surveillance laws could affect iPhone users’ privacy by forcing it to withdraw security features, which could ultimately lead to the closure of services such as FaceTime and iMessage in the UK.

Tech is fine but applying for permission to have kids (based on what criteria?) and having to present my DNA everywhere to track everything I do is several steps into overbearing state control.

You can't complain about the dangers of totaliterianism and also make your last two bullet points with a straight face.

I remember after finishing Animal Farm I immediately started planning my world takeover utilising farmyard animals as shock troops.
