From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Lemmy needs way better management of uploads than a randomly created URL floating in the void. If you accidentally paste a picture of your face or dick it is just stuck there and you have to beg an admin to help. You don't even have to hit post.
Oh yeah I skipped over the Nazi microblog instances because they are pretty isolated and infighty. It's the full throated imperialists who ban anyone who talks about the genocide like anyone is responsible for it but the Palestinians.
They do actually often use EU laws to back up their censorship. They of course would never consider other hosting options. They are proud of the EU for some reason.
But whatever if that's what people decide "Mastodon" is going to be like there is a lot more to be done with ActivityPub services other than link it to your chosen flavor of microblogging, and it certainly doesn't need to have the sheen of Eugene Rotchko on it haha
