What actually happens when servers are federated with one another? Does the content of each server get mirrored for redundancy, or does it just mean that users can see users, posts and communities from servers that are federated? When they defederate, does content that was previously visible to users just vanish completely, or is it merely that new content (created after defederation) will not be visible?

Feels like sarcasm, but I can’t tell.

This is brilliant. I hope we see more countries doing the same thing :)

Maybe they could make accounts be tied to residency or citizenship, and perhaps have communities that only allow posting to those accounts to reduce bot spam and foreign meddling. Maybe that’s a terrible idea, but it will be interesting to see where this goes, and if activity pub will be sufficient or need extending.

There has to be at least one celebrity that would rather be surfing the fediverse than doing celebrity stuff with other hot celebrities. I would be shocked to find out it was Margot Robbie, but not shocked if it was Nicholas Cage.

Although I loved R-Type 2 as a kid, I never really got into the first one for some reason - it was probably because I didn’t have a pirated copy on my Amiga, whereas I did for R-Type 2. Both amazing games though, and I’m very glad R-Type Dimensions exists on Steam.

R-Type Delta is #1 R-Type for me though. Best level design, best music, best ships before it went completely nuts for Final.
