I know some ISPs can enable it if you call them and ask them

I tried, but my IMAP server recently stopped working. It also got flagged as spam by literally everyone I sent an email to.

I think it’s a good idea if you want your blog to be more discoverable. Also may make it easier to maintain connections

I’m too lazy. My MP made a bluesky account but abandoned it. Sad!

No clue. Online Safety Act is a bin fire

As for the law “catching up with” federation sites, I don’t see that happening unless Mastodon and Lemmy start creating massive lobbying arms.

Forgot that’s how America worked.

In the UK, you could just keep making noise until a member of parliament gets interested and mentions it once

I don’t know. You may be generally already protected to some degrees by existing laws for users interacting with your site. This time it’s just users interacting with your site via another server. If you defederate from bad instances and have a good DMCA system, you might be okay.

Although, this type of thing could be one of those things that’ll take a court case or updated legislation to solve.

Stock imagery, probably.

There is no argument. It’s centralised.

Doesn’t Mastodon already receive the posts?

Scatter them about the place. Make appliances smart. Would be more interesting than a cluster.

It’s possible I’d say. The fediverse is very cool in how much choice it gives you without limiting who you interact with too much (except lemmy where you cannot follow users)

Wouldn’t that work more with a client or a server software than the protocol itself? The protocol shares the posts. It’s the client and the instance which chooses what the user sees.

It’s all fun and games until you realise it’s your IP…

A single raspberry pi 5 can host an entire website

You could probably run several discord bots on a Raspberry Pi 3, provided they aren’t public and popular

How much did this cost?

Slop
