What is the biggest reason that makes you hesitate to adopt #Fedify?

About Age Verification Laws in the UK:

There is currently a campaign underway urging people to "accept it".

However, if your website is not based in the UK and you are not a UK citizen yourself, you do not have to accept it.

No country — Not Russia, the USA, China, and even the UK — rules the world. Therefore, no single country can make laws that apply to the entire planet and all of its 9 billion inhabitants.

That does not, however, prevent individual sovereign nations from enacting stupid laws and falsely claiming that they apply to everyone in the world. But the reality is that no country has comprehensive legal jurisdiction over the entire planet.

I'll be on stage speaking about some of ActivityPub's "hard problems", and what people are doing to fix them. It's a rehash and expansion of a talk I gave at FOSDEM this past February.

Are there threadiverse related problems? I'd imagine so. Would love to include them in my presentation.

イギリスの年齢確認法について：

現在、人々に「受け入れろ」と促すキャンペーンが進行中です。

しかし、あなたのウェブサイトがイギリスに拠点を置いておらず、あなた自身がイギリス国民でない場合、それを受け入れる必要はありません。

どの国であっても —— ロシア、アメリカ、中国、そしてイギリスでさえ —— 世界を支配しているわけではありません。したがって、1つの国が地球全体とそこに住む90億人すべてに適用される法律を作ることはできません。

とはいえ、個々の主権国家が愚かな法律を制定し、それが世界中のすべての人に適用されると誤って主張することを妨げるものではありません。しかし現実には、どの国にも全世界に対する包括的な法的管轄権は存在しません。

Betreffende de Britse wetgeving inzake leeftijdsverificatie:

Er is een lopende campagne die mensen aanspoort om het “gewoon te accepteren.”

Maar je hoeft het niet te accepteren als jouw website niet in het Verenigd Koninkrijk is gevestigd en je geen Britse staatsburger bent.

Geen enkel land — of het nu Rusland, de Verenigde Staten, China of zelfs het Verenigd Koninkrijk is — regeert de wereld. Daarom kan geen enkele natie wetten maken die van toepassing zijn op de hele planeet en alle 9 miljard mensen die erop wonen.

Dat weerhoudt afzonderlijke, soevereine landen er echter niet van om domme wetten aan te nemen en ten onrechte te beweren dat die wereldwijd gelden. Maar de realiteit is dat geen enkel land wereldwijde, allesomvattende jurisdictie heeft.

I powered off the server on which @berkes was running.

I don't use #mastodon or the #fediverse that often anymore. Certainly not enough to warrant running & paying for my own instance.

I'm just not excited about mastodon, #activitypub or the fediverse.I don't see it working out.
