Maybe, Veilid will become more interesting as the development of it progresses. It could take a few years though.

I like a lot of the frankness you get from the developers of Cwtch about how performance and security is a trade-off.

Veilid reminds me a lot of Cwtch but it's also less mature than Cwtch (development only started a year ago). The requirements for developing it also seem higher than Cwtch.

I don't understand what the Veilid's appeal is.

https://veilid.com/about-us/community/ The point of not using Discord is to show a commitment to privacy by not collecting as much data. Something you'd think a privacy project would do.

Private censorship exists.

I should take a closer look at Nostr but I never get the time to do so.

"Is this censorship bill a censorship bill?"

It might also be a sign that Silicon Valley (and in the case of Mastodon, Berlin) are just not delivering. Federation is sold as a silver bullet for everything. Bluesky pretends to be decentralized.

I'd hope that "safe" isn't a synonym for being censorious here (the article mainly talks about minors being banned from the site rather than censoring content).

What's probably confusing is that Facebook *also* said they were going to lean on automated moderation less. So, I wonder if they're still working on that, or if "cybersecurity" is a special category.

There are people assuming that Facebook is censoring Linux related topics deliberately but it could well just be an algorithm going crazy.

Not too long ago, Facebook was bragging about how they were going to adopt LLMs for their moderation, so it might have something to do with that.

"Facebook is banning posts that mention various Linux-related topics, sites, or groups. Some users may also see their accounts locked or limited when posting Linux topics."

"A post on the site claims, "Facebook's internal policy makers decided that Linux is malware and labeled groups associated with Linux as being 'cybersecurity threats.'"

"Obelisk" is also not the name of one of the other gods. In the original anime / manga, it's actually the God Soldier of the Obelisk.

It'd be interesting for titles to explore Egyptian mythology more.

Even in Yu-Gi-Oh, you had magic cards which had gods as namesakes (the American adaptation is very localized, "Slifer" represents Osiris), however, there wasn't really any references to Osiris' role over death and resurrection.

Sometimes, you see someone come up with increasingly complex ideas of how to contort federation to try to fit it in a box it was never intended to fit in.

Or someone could just create a small social network.

A small social network which isn't federated might be interesting.

To be fair, federation has it's upsides.

For privacy reasons, I won't disclose more information.
