We’re not talking about takedown requests, we’re talking about bypassing DRM.

It’s not a “take”, it is a fact.

Stop commenting unless you have evidence to the contrary.

Yeah this just sounds like one of the drawbacks of a federated system. In order for people on remote servers to be able to see your “private” posts, your local server has to feed that info to them and trust them to handle it appropriately.

It really was. Do you not know what the DMCA is? It’s US law.

That’s great. This conversation was about the US.

We were talking about laws, not rights or views.

Didn’t realize the DMCA applied in Sweden.

If another law says you have a right to create

That law doesn’t exist and that’s not how law works. Law does not specify what is allowed, only what isn’t. Breaking encryption isn’t.

There is no “more illegal”. One is illegal, the other is not.

The DMCA makes it pretty clear that “Circumvention of Technological Protection Measures” is illegal. There are no exceptions for whether you own or redistribute the content in question.

I’m not getting it but I know others are.

I’ve asked them several times and they have declined.

What can we do? What can we do about Meta and Xitter and Reddit? Just try to show people that there’s another side where the grass actually is greener and invite them to join.

You can on phanpy.social

This is the best Masto frontend, in my opinion.

Might be that I don’t believe you either.

You missed the part where I said I’ve also tried a half a dozen different servers. And if they all also screwed up then that is just a different type of problem that still exists.

Sliding sync did nothing.

Loading times are a skill issue? You could at least try to make sense while you’re being a dick.

I have a Matrix server. I’ve also used a half a dozen others. Every one of them you have sit there and stare at it for 5-10 secs and watch the messages roll in every time you open the app.

Fun is the least of my concerns. I don’t know why people compare the 2 when they have almost nothing in common. One is a chat app and the other is a voice/streaming/community app. Matrix is slow as hell and the way “spaces” are implemented is a joke.

Honestly outside of the incessant pop-ups and upsells and the whole selling everything to AI companies, it’s pretty great for private communities.
