  Let’s not conflate anti-Israeli-government with antisemitism. That’s a tired old tactic that’s run its course.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no idea. That’s a pertinent question that needs an answer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  A fair point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ipads were just updated to 16.6.1 to fix a security issue that allowed pegasus to be installed onto an apple device. will iphone 7 running 15.7.8 get an update to fix the same issue?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Apple, in particular, seems a favorite target of NSO. And Apple seems intent on winning their game of whack-a-mole. It would expect them to patch as far back as justifiable and feasible.

  Isn’t federation already a form of peer-to-peer networking? And while I agree that clients need the ability to block entire instances, spinning up your own server is already a way to do that.

  Since other instances seem to have taken action that suits you better, you can always move your account to one of them. You could still access communities hosted on .world, but you wouldn’t be inconvenienced by DDoS attacks taking down the server.

  That’s the beauty of federation.

  Time Warp Trilogy is one of my favorites of all time. But honestly, there aren’t many fan productions that I don’t like. Of course, I’m also a fan of community theater and original plays, so maybe they’re just my thing.

  No problem. Enjoy the new world :)

  Instances are like smaller Reddits. Communities (lemmy) and magazines (kbin) are like subs. You can subscribe and participate in any c/ or m/ as long as their instance is federated with yours.

  To add to the fun, we can also interact with users on Mastodon (similar to Twitter), Pixelfed (like Instagram), or any other ActivityPub-enabled instance that federated with us.

  To my mind, a better analogy is email. It doesn’t matter which platform (provider) you use, you can interact with anyone on almost any other email platform. Make sense?
