  • Even if you disagree with my assessment of Russia’s annexation, isn’t an international body ( that Russia itself has membership) working with your people, with guarantees for self rule and an end to the war better than status quo?

    If you’ve supported Donbas independence, with wishes for greater ties to Russia instead of Europe, you still get that in this agreement. Donbas can still legitimately join Russia in a few decades, and still trade with them now.


  • I get that you’re making some weird comparison to Iraq and Afghanistan, but who besides the world itself would be the colonizer in my recommended arrangement? The world itself in my recommended United Nation governance followed by a local government chosen by their own legitimate referendums with international observers and gun free polls? Is that not better than Russia just claiming them with no say by the people (unless you believe the sham referendums under armed watch in a war zone as legitimate)?











  • Edit: I tried writing out an explanation of how defederation works, but Lemmy has a few more gotchas with communities being owned on different instances. See https://lemmy.world/comment/276067 for some info about how the Beehaw defederation of LW worked.

    Meta can and already probably does have crawler bots capturing the data anyway. Anything public on the internet you should assume is consumable by these types of companies.

    Additionally, instances of ActivityPub platforms can further require releases of ownership if they have a TOS stating so in their registration (like any other website). IANAL but I would reach out to one to discuss your options on restricting the usage of your works if that is a concern. In general, I think the safest option is to host your own works and share only the links and what you don’t mind being scraped on sites like these. Some AP platforms like Mastodon Glitch Edition allow local-only (non-federated) posts, but as far as I know Lemmy don’t support that yet.
