It’s a self hosted DNS that you can easily run on a raspberry pi

I’m fairly certain Tor is better than a new laptop.

Tysytube is great. I also highly recommend OddTinkering for console restorations. They do a great job.

Not saying I disagree lol

Just like Facebook isn’t in any one state… You could fine the instance owner… Eventually leading to a warrant for non compliance and failure to pay which means you are bared from entering the state of you don’t want to be arrested.

Also they can ban your ip. So no one in the state would see or interact with that instance.

3 things.

1. Is there a minimum number of users for this to be effective? If so, just keeping you instance under that amou t should work.

2. Can they really charge someone who is not running the instance for profit? The article states that the social media owner must take “commercially reasonable” action to verify users. Technically, nothing is commercially reasonable if you aren’t running a Comercial business right?

3. Related to 2. The article says “social media companies”. Most instances aren’t being ran by companies… So again this may be an out for those running instances.

Isn’t 18.1 already live?

Wefwef has been great and it’s a PWA so no need to download.

Won’t this remove Google play store?

Because we can. Because that’s how federation works. If you don’t like this instance, go to another. Or make meaningful strides to make this one what you would like. Beehaw already defederated from Lemmy.world, so I can’t even see it. It’s just a preference and if there is no activy at any given instance… Then that’s fine. Maybe each find its own community preferences and rules. Maybe you just participate in both like many people are.
