While I agree that Europe is strong, we should be careful not to make the same mistake as Democrats made twice during their elections and downplay the threat of right-wing strongmen,l and populism. They’re very clearly on the rise in Europe. Everyone has to come out and vote against them. Make it very clear they’re not welcome. I truly hope Europeans won’t take the lazy option. But I also believe they’re smart enough to go out and actually vote against evil.

Governments also have to comply with GDPR. They also have no commercial interest in the personal data.

Haha, that’s also very true :).

Yeah, that sounds like the most correct take. I don’t think the EU will be happy with that if ActivityPub really blows up. e.g. if Threads joins the federation (and we don’t defederate from their data leeching service), that would become really really complex :)

That sounds like a good take. I have no idea if it’s correct, but it sounds reasonable.

So I’d have to contact every single instance to get rid of my data, which sounds reasonable, but is practically speaking absolutely impossible.

Lemmy just sounds like a GDPR nightmare for the EU tbh.

Not as if the GDPR cares about that specifically. Whatever excuse or justification you might have, the law still applies… Mail servers also have to comply with the law.

It seems the GDRP does not agree with you:

To what data do the EEA GDPR and the UK GDPR apply?

The EEA GDPR and the UK GDPR apply to all "personal data,” which includes any information relating to a living, identified or identifiable person. Examples include name, SSN, other identification numbers, location data, IP addresses, online cookies, images, email addresses, and content generated by the data subject.

No idea. That’s why I am asking.

I just feel that if Lemmy keeps growing, the EU will eventually take notice and consider implementing requirements/measures/regulations…

But I guess it’s not just lemmy, but also any other fediverse (or any other decentralized) service. Just curious

Not sure if this is the right community to ask? It’s not really a technical support question, just a general lemmy question.

A good night’s sleep.

Is it a sex thing? Please don’t let it be a sex thing.

I find that extraction shooters (especially dmz) really fill the gap perfectly.

You get the rush from extracting, you get to kill stuff, regardless of your skill level, but there is still super intense pvp.

Love it
