I assume the alternative would be that it’s been filled in, or bomb damaged and filled with rubble.

I wonder if the house is still there, bricked in forever…

No worries! Up to 429 subscribers as of today, and not one issue or report at all. Everyone is really nice here so far :-)

Nice to see the cars only lasted a while, and now busses have replaced the trams.

I’m not sure “utopia” is the correct word for what this plan was about, at least not for anyone but Henry Ford.

The major difference is the lack of people and mud

I like how they kept the same style of the overhead supports

It’s unbelievably polished for a first release. Not 100% feature complete mind you, but it’s mind blowing the dev pull this off.

Sadly had a run in with David Cameron and was never the same again

Lemmy.nz is a nice small country instance with one rule, don’t be a dick.

Recently finished the seond book in Ken MacLeod’s Lightspeed Trilogy, Beyond the Reach of Earth. Nice SF series with some interesting takes on the complexities of FTL travel, First Contact, global politics, and more.

I used Thunderbird about 10 years ago? Looks amazing compared to what I remember.

The instance I’m on has already preemptively defederated/blocked Threads.

Suggests England is mostly furries

I barely voted at all on Reddit, trying to be more engaged here.

Flight flight flight flight

My statement about it being up to those running instances is mean in terms of it’s up to them to read the legislation and come to a conclusion. If I were hosting an instance I’d certainly assume it applied, though I doubt there has been any case testing its implementation in this sort of situation.

I can see someone starting a lawsuit against a standards incompliant server that ignores deletes and edits, though.

I wonder if the first data breach will draw the attention of a regulator. We’re all using essentially alpha software, with no privacy notice, I doubt there are RoPAs or DPIAs, I doubt there is a DPO… all those things might upset someone like the ICO in the UK if a breach were to occur.

Edit: saying that, I’m not sure any breach would even be reportable given what data is collected by Lemmy.

Wither GDPR applies to an individual instance will be up to those running the instance to decide.

If you decide it does, then you need to do a few things. Number one is read up advice on compliance with GDPR.

Being able to delete data alone doesn’t mean GDPR compliance. I’m thinking about the need for privacy notices on sign up, retention schedules for data, lawful basis of processing, records of processing activities… Data subjects have numerous rights, which apply depend on the lawful basis you’re processing under.

I’d suggest that larger general instances might want to read up more urgently than smaller single focus “hobby” instances.

edit: more I think about this, I think there is an moral responsibility for the developers to help those running instances comply. If GDPR does not apply to an instance, it is still good practice to allow uses to delete their data, etc… Also, art. 20 of GDPR is the right to portability. Interesting to see how this applies to fediverse platforms like Lemmy.

I was thinking of doing it so certain communities from the other place would feel welcome, but someone is domain squatting what I was planning

Is that ID local to the instance or universal across the fediverse?
