Nice try, Zuckerberg

I think you’ll need to generate a OTP type thing from a government site that’s a message with a timestamp and maybe the code provided (and chosen by) the website signed by that site’s private key, then have the 18+ website check that it’s signed by the government.

Basically, the digital equivalent of your teacher giving you a letter/consent form to bring home for mummy to sign and then return to the school.

Possibly you could have a fingerprint that goes on it that only the government could recognise if the website hands it over to them (likely under court order) if you are concerned about fraud/people using other people’s accounts.

Ephesians 2:8-10

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

1 Peter 2:9-10

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

If you have a religion, shouldn’t it be your entire identity?

What’s a better alternative that offer good ddos protection and tunnels

I think that’s basically the whole point. Or if someone would rather use Mastodon - look, the lemmy userbase is there as well!

Piefed, Mbin and Lemmy aren’t necessarily aggressively competing like X and Bluesky are. It’s moreso friendly cooperation. Sure, if the fediverse was a bit more commercialised, you’d have competition. But it would be fairer competition based on how good your Software and ethics are and not on who else is also using the app.

New platforms can set up shop and already have an existing userbase/contentbase to show. The main issue with setting up, let’s say, an Instagram competitor, is that nobody uses it, so nobody will use it as it lacks content. ActivityPub removes this problem. If someone wanted to set up their own competitor to Mastodon, they can. People can use it and tap into the existing userbase.

Kolanaki lore

This is the type of story I was expecting on Lemmy

Exactly. Isn’t this essentially the Israeli Palestinian conflict because the Jews once owned the land? Then the Arabs settled for a few hundred years, then the Jews come back and are like “Mine” and now the Palestinians want it back again? Something like that. Was probably owned by some canaanite tribes before either of them as well.

Alex O’Connor.

I think he had it by birthright but just had to claim it/exercise it. So technically in the eyes of the law he was always British. But that doesn’t change the fact he chose to exercise it
