The Shoe Bomber was caught because he was trying to light a fuse with a lighter. You cannot light a bomb with a pocket knife. If you want to ban something from planes, ban lighters

I didn’t read Solrize’s comment as saying “There shouldn’t be paywalls,” just asking the very legitimate question as to how they will interact with federation.

Interestingly, 404 just solved something kinda related: they developed a way for subscribers to get a custom RSS feed address, so they can access paywalled articles directly in their RSS reader. TMK, they are the first publication to do this. I imagine they would do something similar for federation. (I believe that if any of the custom RSS feeds show huge traffic numbers, 404 shuts it down, but I’m not sure)

Surprisingly, one of the only groups to use this calendar IRL was a giant international corporation: Kodak

Thank you for this great tool!

Is there a way I could use this to find a Lemmy instance that let’s me interact with desired instances? For example:

• I want to participate in Instance A, B, and C.
• A has defederated from B and C
• can I generate a list of instances that let’s me interact with A, B, and C? Then I’ll move my account there.

Thank you!
