We are talking legal obligations.
If you remove content you posted somewhere in the fediverse, your server will send “delete” activities to other servers anyways. But your server does not know whether those other servers actually do delete it.
“Knowingly” is a big word given that Mastodon GmbH has been transparent about not having extensive legal knowledge in-house and being dependent on their probono lawyers. Which is completely understandable given their company & team size.
There is no legal precedent, but most likely you would only have to prove deletion on your own server.
Because it happens everytime. They accuse people of “scraping the fediverse”.
Well, it does matter as far as lots of people who only have passing knowledge about it will believe that it was at Tiananmen Square, that the guy in the famous photo was run over by tanks etc.
And that makes it easy for the CCP to go “you are all falling for propaganda, that did not happen, look how good we are in not killing these protesters”
The point is that according to basically all reputable sources, they didnt die on Tiananmen Square. They were ordered to leave the Square and did so. Then they were killed at other points in the city.
But of course, since the protests were on the Square and then the killings happened, most people simply condense it down to the inaccurate version of “killed at the square”.
Might be a good point to create a github issue for on the lemmy repository
He certainly was influenced by a certain political scene about seven years ago, parroting Ben Shapiro at a few occasions and featuring a lot of anti-sjw humour in his videos.
But that was seven years ago and he clearly majorly changed his views on his platform after the Christchurch shootings.
Best: small instances with a stable admin team.
Because we dont want people to lose their home instance again in a few months if a hobby server instance shuts down
Lemm.ee had and still has strict limitations to image uploads, forcing its users to use external image providers like catbox.moe or postimages. So these images should all still be there.
Granted, I’m not sure how the thumbnails for these externally hosted images work and if they’re exclusively stored on lemm.ee
This. And I’d bet there is something that OP can easily do that the rich kid/his family are not used to.
Maybe admins/app developers doing test posts?
I dont think lemmy supports this. Posts and comments on your “old” account will stay there and if you look at that profile from the view of another account, will still be visible.
Maybe exporting them as a downloadable archive is possible? So you could keep a copy on your desktop? I dont know.
It won’t be gone, but rather appear as an archived copy when the profile is displayed from an existing working instance. So the posts and comments will all still be there.
The bookmarks however I don’t know.
Subscriptions can be exported out of your current account and then imported into your new account.
They also defederate from piracy communities
They didnt need mods though, they needed admins
Different codebase, as far as I understand it. Not sure how different the API is (well they claim it’s 95% the same).
I am not sure how much work it would be to make boost work with Piefed.
But I’m at the same dilemma right now: do I want to switch to a piefed instance and try it out? Then I’d need to abandon boost and use an UI that I consider worse. Or I pick another lemmy instance so I can keep using boost.
Having the ability to use piefed with boost would be awesome.
You say “dating” but what are we even talking about here? Conversations on the internet?
Anyways though we can’t say whether the guy is seriously sorry or not.
Pretending to be in a relationship with someone he knew was 13 is majorly creepy and inappropriate. Why was he even pretending to be 14? Was this part of his broader internet personality or only in his messages to you?
