Does lemmynsfw.com and pornlemmy.com federate?

On embrace phase the intention is not malicious, they probably want things to grow. Corporations just in long run will eventually lead to someone asking "how can we capitalize this" and this lead the FOSS part of things to be cut out, and destroying the protocol at that point.
Fediverse should defederate every corporation and just grow naturally.
Why people, why?
If archive.org, or any other web scraper is able to pull personal information from a site, it means that the site is already breaking the GDPR.
GDPR protects personal information, not public texts.
Because instance holds identifying information about EU citizens (email, nickname), it means that the instance owner is the registery holder, and they must comply with GDPR.
I believe email address of the user is not shared between the instances, what makes things quite good. Nicknames are bit more problematical, because they can be considered as personal identifier.
Some GDPR experts maybe should write template registery document that instances can use. And the delete of account should be handled between instances. Posts do not need to be deleted, but nick should be changed to [deleted]
That quote from GDPR talks about specific job role that large company is by-law requires to have, called data protection officer. He/She is responsible that company is GDPR compliant.
GDPR only applies if the data can be linked to individual.
Only thing in Lemmy that identifies you, is your email. Nickname is not personal information, you cannot be identified from it. If the email is not transferred to another instances, there should not be problem with federation. If user requests GDPR erase, instance just deletes the account, and email linked to it. After this the user is not anymore identifiable, and GDPR is happy.
This is incorrect, GDPR is any registery, company size or even profit/nonprofit is not relevant. Even it being digital/in paper is not relevant. If EU citizen is identifiable in registery, it must comply with GDPR.
It happens in the extend part.
Large corporation will have much more resources, they will implement features and refactoring, which small open source teams do not have capability to implement. They will start pulling users because they support features that other do not.
This also means that they will start getting control.
And then finally they just cut the communication, and split the community. All the way they can claim to be working "for the community"
Yes, most likely, within days they lost half of their links in Google.
How tf they did not see this happening?
Embrace, extend, extinguish. Only proven way to destroy decentralized, free, open source solutions.
First stage embrace might not even be malicious, but with corporations it will eventually lead to someone thinking: how can we monetize our position. It is just nature how business works.

I assume no, because public forum like Lemmy end to end encryption would be quite irrelevant feature. If you communicate secrets, you use messaging apps, not link aggregators.
It is quite insane that there are only three countries that have larger GDP than these seven regions: China, Japan and Germany.
Still US doesn't have public healthcare and free educations. Those would be peanuts in money. Crazy.
