Can we all stop the in-fighting for a minute and realise how awesome the platform we are on is?

We are forming communities on the realized image of the internet that we were told we would have back in the 80s and 90s.

You can make your own home on the web and have your own niche community, not owned by any corporation, while still being connected to the wider internet.

This feels like something out of a sci-fi movie.

    Who will be accountable for abuse in the future? How does legal apply to cross-federated occurrences?

      I’ve been wondering this. If a comment contains illegal content, which is possible in some cases, and blame can be extended beyond the commenter to the content provider, which is also possible, then is every instance the comment federates across culpable?

        Best to look at federated instances as more official, set-in-stone subreddits. They all (usually) have rules and most of the time the instance is not responsible for a single person doing actions like that. If a kick or ban is also swiftly given, that usually also voids the instance owners of any illegal content.

        Companies aren’t responsible for it so I doubt instances will get in trouble.
