solid is a neat idea, but the implementations are … jank, to put it politely, and the overall spec is hecking complicated

i don’t think the average developer, let alone user, is going to learn RDF and its various query and other adjunct languages just to control their data

i want to see it succeed, but i simply do not have high hopes on that front

cast Gate on the bottom of the ocean

20ft wide portal to whatever other plane you want to dump the ocean in

at the bottom of the mariana trench you’d get some 200,000,000 gallons per minute through that sucker

it’ll still take more than 3 million years (per very naive, optimistic napkin math) to drain all the oceans but you can probably find other people to join your mad ocean destruction cult over that time and get things going in parallel

the real question is: where are you putting all this water

sounds like the kind of policy an AI would make 🤔

I’m with HE on this one. KF is absolutely against their ToS, and if the various middle providers between HE and KF aren’t going to step in, they’re within their rights to drop that traffic.

At this level the Internet is still somewhat decentralized. KF can continue to find other hosts and ISPs that condone their horror, and said providers and peers have the right to drop them for being terrible. They could register their own ASN, broadcast routes, and other providers could still refuse to peer with them. I think this is good, actually.

but what about The Slippery Slope? next conservatives will be making ISPs take down vulnerable minorities! shouldn’t legislation be handling this?

The conservative folks are already attacking LGBTQ+ and any other minorities they want via legislation. Why would you think this is a good argument?
