Yeah, 6% is bad but for the shit show, I expected more.
The only way to get people to move is to move yourself. If we start more engaging discussions on the fediverse and make software/engineering improvements to projects (kbin, lemmy, mastodon, native apps), we will get there.
Perils of living in Massachusetts. I hope similar laws pass federally in the United States.
That being said, I’ve been on the other side of GDPR. Getting ready for GDPR around 2017 was so much work. We initially had a lengthy confluence runbook with all the places data had to be deleted from. It took a while to automate. Painful, but it’s the right thing to do.
RE: OP
I’m pretty sure this is in violation of both GDPR/CCPA
IANAL, but I agree. In my past companies, when a GDPR deletion request comes, we follow through and delete the data. We might ask users to verify their identity but that’s about it. It should be 2-3 emails back and forth.
If you’re rich enough or travel enough (like politicians), you can just claim that you will “be out of the county on election day and during the period for early voting by personal appearance”.

These laws are meant to impact the poor and the middle class.

For #ToTK, I should not have even looked at the gameplay footage. I want to erase everything from my mind and rediscover everything!
Yes!! And the active non-toxic community.
There are UI improvements to be made and general coordination and understanding of the fediverse (eg. discovering communities, duplicate communities, etc), but we will get there.
On the top right, you can change federation settings. https://i.imgur.com/efhcxLG.png
I’m in the same boat. Having a small instance for me and my friends might create an echo chamber, at least initially. My current strategy is to browse all on kbin and sdf’s Lemmy and find interesting communities to subscribe to.
This does cause an issue of duplicate communities though – pawb.social has tech but so do other Lemmy instances. I have not found a good way to group them and de-dup them yet.
Every year I think that the shenanigans R’s pull will make them suffer in the next election. Still, with gerrymandering, voter suppression, and the “if they go low, we stay high” attitude we have, the election ends up becoming a coin toss.
Phones are great for emergency notifications but I think AM would be better for long-term sustained emergencies. It’s a highly highly unlikely event though.
Not the end of the world but it would have been nice to have it. AM travels much farther than FM which would be helpful in catastrophic events.
But the chances of something like that happening are very low. If you’re that paranoid, you can get a ham radio.
I can also see there being blocklists similar to uBlock Origin or other browser extensions. Except, it will be done at the instance level by admins.
