Then it depends on how badly you want to play their game.

Oh people have tried I'm sure. They are banned now.:-)

Answer: yes please!:-)

Should we call that Readdit? :-P

Awwww, we're growing up!?:-) So even if the Fediverse eventually (in let's say a decade or two hence) becomes merely an example of what not to do, still we are in on the ground floor as we all go through these growing pains, together:-).

And we must be doing something right. Or perhaps it's that there merely aren't any other good options. But this is where the people who are good to talk with are, currently. Like you:-D.

I thought at first that everything was simply slow to develop bc of using the Rust programming language.

Now I hold great excitement for the upcoming projects like Sublinks, Piefed, Mbin, and Tesseract (that one is more a front-end UI for whatever backend protocol). But Lemmy still has all the effort put into it in the past so it is ahead for that reason at least.

At a wild guess, it could literally be the communism?

No really, I'm serious: what you are describing sounds to me like there is a sense of "ownership", as in an instance owns a community, whereupon everything else is lesser than the owner with respect to that particular content - e.g. the others "mirror" the content that is "owned" by the instance that the community is on. A master/slave relationship, in computer science terminology.

In contrast, ActivityPub sounds to me (caveat: I've never read the source) like everyone is equal, hence why every action is shared equally by all. A distributed burden. Except without the major traditional benefits of it being distributed - i.e. Aussie.Zone cannot simply connect to some other server instance with less physical distance between it and Lemmy.World, no it must go straight to the source, even when that results in a 7-day delay (and even that cutoff is only because things older than that simply get deleted).

On the other hand, there's nothing stopping someone from not respecting the deletion requests, and instead highlighting that content, in the current Lemmy framework. It would definitely be a deviation from the standard codebase though. And therefore every time there's an update or patch, there would have to be a merge event to keep that feature functional.

I wonder if the reason your idea is not done is bc it relies too much on "trusting" the client for security reasons? Although... tbf I'm not certain how much that would differ from how things are now.

Thank you for the support. I doubt it too. It's far easier to bully people who don't respond back with factual discourse, so they'll probably move on to lower-hanging fruit.

Yeah the more I think about it, the more specifying any amount of Vulcanism seems to be to Spock's benefit, to separate himself from the humans...

Not after the tooth fairy gets done with them.

How do we know that this wasn't at Spock's instigate up? Like he literally petitioned Starfleet to add a rank titled "Half-Vulcan Science Officer" (which possibly offers higher pay, but stricter requirements for entry:-).
