I think this largely boils down to the time scales required. A person copying your work has a minimum amount of time it takes them to do that, even when it's just copy and paste. An LLM can copy thousands of different developer's code, for instance, and completely launder the license. That's not ok. Why would we allow machines to commit fraud when we don't allow people to?

Lemmy by default will federate with all instances if you don't put instances in the "Allowed Instances" section. I've found, it's easier to federatte with all instances and ban the ones you don't want. Otherwise, you effectively use a whitelist to federate.

It's also worth noting that there's an upper limit on the number of communities you choose to federate with, while there doesn't seem to be an upper limit on the blocked communities

Well this is disturbing.

As a webmaster myself, I've noticed a small number of users with repeating seemingly generated names, all with the same or similar answer to the registration screening question. I'd be curious if you could release the database of usernames and screening question answers. I'd bet other Lemmy admins would benefit from any analysis done on that database. TTP.

I also use Jeroba, as it's in the FDroid repos. I'll look into those others you mentioned, but I'm quite happy with Jeroba so far.

If you think they're not capable of if not already engaged in PSYOPS, I'd suggest you look deeper into targeted advertising and who is paying for it.

There's also podman-compose, which I've been using. It's not quite feature complete, but it's pretty close.

Saving this for later, thank you very much for the detailed writeup. I might look into this for my main machine to partition the vpn tasks from the non-vpn tasks

You can also use reader clients - I use LiFeRea on linux, it's in the app repository as liferea. It;s free

I'm liking it so far, the communities I've federated with are mostly chill and quite a bit of fun. That being said, there's dark parts of the fediverse too. I plan on keeping my instance around for a while, but so far it's just me and a friend or two, but maybe that's a good thing?
