HI Simon,

Hum. Spamming? It's only 2 tags, so I think I am quite modest in my use of tags :-)

I look at this from the fediverse perspective. As I see it, hashtags and guppe groups are the non-threaded-fediverse equivalent to lemmy communities/kbin magazines: a grouping of posts per topic.

As to many people on mastodon still only know mastodon and do not know of the other services on the fediverse. So I think a small cross-post from time to time from lemmy towards mastodon/fediverse might not be a bad thing to create a little bit of awareness about the service.

Hi,I I agree there is truth in these statements, but -as said- the tone is way more menacing then the reality.

I wonder why anybody is spending all this time and effort (and hence money) to produce this kind of content.

what is the goal? Scare people? Create uncertainty and fear?

What does strike me it that is talks about US companies, but does not say anything about companies from the rest of the world or state-driven projects.

So, hence also my question, is this a new fenomina (with the rise of ChatGPT?) or has this existed for long?

I added the hashtag to give the post more visibility on the fediverse. (and to give a little bit more visibility of Lemmy to the people on the mastodon side of the fediverse).

I didn't know anout the ability to add URLs inside the post.

but in general I avoid putting URLs inside the message post. Putting the URL at the end of a post allows people to first read the complete post and then follow the links. People tend to click on the link and get "stuck" there and not read the rest of the post. (especially on social-media platforms like youtube that is designed to lock people's attention as long as possible).

A /48 is quite overkill for a home customer. Do you have 65536 LANs at home? Here in Belgium, we get a /56.

Australia looks like an interesting case. Iknow that in some countries, ISPs have to provide service to both urban and rural customers at the same price, which means that urban customers actually subsidize people living in rural areas. In some other cases, the gouvernements help pay for this.

Isn't there a project in Australia that the federal gouvernement is subsidizing the role-out of fibre?

just out of interest .. somebody here on satellite? I am interested to know the prices for sat services out there?

Hi,

I have also been thinking about selfhoating a jisti-meet server. Just how easy / difficult is it to selfhost it? Do you run it in docker or natively? Linux or some other OS (FreeBSD)?
