mpaa: you wouldn't... steal a car 😏
me: gonna stop you right there hoss, you're conflating personal with private property. personal property is something owned for use by an actual person, private property is resources exploited for profit by a capitalist. I would not steal a car, but only because doing so would deprive a person of a thing they were using without their consent. intellectual property is always private property and "stealing" it in a digital medium is victimless.
mpaa: *defeated*
Are there any #activitypub servers implemented in #java or #kotlin? I’ve found them in Ruby, Rust, and PHP but I’m very surprised there’s almost nothing in the fediverse implemented in one of the most popular languages in the industry.

My suggestion, spread this story to journalists and lets get some attention to it..
Here is the list of journalists on the fedi:
Here is the story:
Eugen Rochko, CEO of Mastodon, Caves to Nazi's Agenda

so far, the main character of mastodon seems to be mastodon.

Mastodon highkey reminds me of an internet forum from 2008. It’s kind of amazing how spoiled we all are, when I was 10 I was always switching between no less than 5 forums at once to talk to people, and now it feels exhausting thinking about instances and decentralization.
Kinda miss the forum days. Minus all the creepy people and weird admins.
@chrknd when both parties decided to ignore FEC rules and allow paid political shill accounts to operate without labeling them as such.
@Jbfbell That poor kid with the burlap sack for a body, Billy “Smiles” Evans, was my favorite https://people.cs.rutgers.edu/~watrous/billy-evans.html
@LemmyDev it looks like matrix link on profile (https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy-space:matrix.org) is not the right place for users to ask questions about problems signing up?
@rust_discussions the author of the article is pretty much an Ada/SPARK promoter and it is hard to take the article seriously.
A big shout out to the one person who did more to stock interest in federate social media in the last few days.
I was thinking that the fediverse needs to offer 'Mastodon' servers written in other languages, eg #rust, but it turns out I just needed to learn more. What I found is that there are ActivityPub servers written in a wide variety of languages. What I'm on a quest for now is the absolute lowest cost server to maintain, eg. server less, like on cloudevents, google cloudfunctions, or AWS lambda? That way maintainers wouldn't have to pay for running a server when it's idle.
@trinsec for sure! I think that's another cool thing about federation: if you don't like the rules you can find a different instance that works better. So far I'm OK with most of the rules I've read, with a few exceptions, mainly on instances where I wouldn't want to be anyway.
I'm using multiple Mastodon accounts until I figure out which aspect I like best. quote.org is for my tech stuff.
I have a couple of ideas I'd like to explore for Mastodon. One is being able to run (and federate) instances anonymously via #i2p. The other is lightweight, low cost instances via #cloudevents and #rustlang

Why write an empty finalize() method?
