…and then you come out at the ass end of the internet (a.k.a. 4chan)

Have you seen the state of the US? A “clown world capitalist dictatorship” is a pretty apt description

Since MS forced the upgrade, you should get 2025 for free. That would probably be really easy to argue in court

That’s all fine for technically inclined people, not for the scores of tech illiterate folk that need a big “migrate” button.

Yes, but the kids buying the modded devices may not be

It’s called feature detection and it goes a long way back, even before Modernizr popularized it.

Yes, the instance you signed up on would be the identity provider

That’s a solved problem from a technical perspective. Use OAuth. Just look at “sign in with google/facebook/github/etc”

Seems to be fixed!

You could try fedia.io if you prefer the Kbin/Mbin interface over Lemmy

ZFS isn’t built-in. I don’t know enough about btrfs to recommend it.

Bog-standard Debian with LVM. LVM can also do RAID, but you could also do mdadm below LVM if you prefer. Keep it simple.

22421382 here. I can’t believe I still know that number by heart after 20+ years.

I’m not sure. Similar communities at different instances can have very different rules and vibes. There’s a reason people prefer talking politics on Beehaw versus Hexbear.

I like the Kbin solution so far. Leave communities separate but cross-link and deduplicate individual threads from multiple communities in your feed. The implementation at Kbin is still a bit flawed, but the idea is sound.

But is it no-code so I can fire all my developers?

Maybe. I don’t think anyone’s thought that far ahead yet. At least the lemmy devs give hosters the option to add a click through agreement to the signup page.

You can’t rely on fair use because fair use works differently around the world, if it exists at all.

As for copyright, you agree to terms & conditions when you sign up for your fediverse account. These should include language that grants permission to use everything you submit for federation.

Federation means making copies. Hundreds of them. If you attach a copyright license to a comment then each and every instance that federates your comment would have to abide by it. That is just not possible. If you want to write stuff on the internet and copyright it, start a blog or something. By posting on the fediverse you implicitly allow copying.
