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.
The hot and cold water thing is not common at all. A few sushi places and bars have it. But it's quite rare tbh.
Fast my ass. Once they finally start maybe... But it takes ages to lay the first stone. There's not enough people available to build everything they want to build. It's a serious issue
And we're back. Finally!
Governments also have to comply with GDPR. They also have no commercial interest in the personal data.
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.
How can an instance comply with GDPR if they're federated?
So if I understand GDPR correctly: If I want a service/business to remove all my personal data, they have to comply with it in a certain timespan or get in trouble with the law.
If I understand federation correctly: All posts get replicated on federated instances all over the fediverse.
My question: If I e.g. want lemmy.world to remove my data, all my posts etc are still up on lemmy.ml right? As they just have a copy of these posts?
Would I as a customer have to contact every single instance to get my data removed? Or how does GDPR compliance work with lemmy?
Or am I completely misunderstanding how GDPR works?
All fine and dandy, but don't just pick a random one close to you. Don't forget that the admin basically has all your info. So do your due diligence and make sure to check you agree with all their policies etc.
I still use it. It still works well enough for me that it's mostly fire and forget.

I started blocking the bots. They're annoying AF.
I'm curious how many signups you already got. Your app will skyrocket to the top in seconds once released.
There is a certain je ne sais quoi about that dark ink heavy style. Love it
A good night's sleep.
