That would solve a large part. If it would function as an actual alt, you could also “federate” the communities all the alts are following. That would make it so much easier if an instance would stop. One could just start using an alt as a main.

I had no idea it even had a name. I’m learning a lot these days! Thnx!

Does this work? I don’t think that is possible. Also, the community making is not that big of a deal (see my post), it is more of a general idea that I have…

Agreed. But is it something we should be thinking about, or is the general feeling: “infamousbelgian, you are so badly overthinking right now…”

Agreed. However, the nice thing about the fediverse is that it is not “ruled” by someone with a lot of power. I don’t know, I’m just putting it out here…

The canonical makes sense for the search engine (eg Google). I would put the canonical on the source instance.

Leaves open the question what would happen if the source would disappear…

I think if canonicals are applied correctly, it should not be an issue?

I’m on Safari Mac. If that helps anyone…

I’m getting a lot of syntax errors at the bottom of the page since well… recently.

SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Unrecognized token ‘<’

You are missing the point. A TOS can’t fix it. If it can, they would have done so. And for GDPR, there is no difference between schools and genpop. A citizen is a citizen…

Can you explain where I’m misinformed? I can surely be misinformed about the workings of Lemmy. However, for GDPR you will not “win” it with a simple TOS or something like that.

If even Google can’t make their Workplace to follow rules in such a way that Workplace can be used according to the AVG rules in the Belgian (well, Flemish) schools, I’m pretty sure that just saying “it’s in the TOS” is not enough…

But again, no expert so I hope that I am wrong.

Is it? I read somewhere that data effectively gets “copied” to the different instances? But that might be wrong info :p
