I’ve never even seen one in practical use in Dubai. The most I’ve seen are prototypes of lab designs.
Will these occur in the near-future?
That’s good, since opinions can be posted without fear of mass down-voting.
That’s what I meant. Censorship is mostly impossible unless people act like an idiot and flock to 1 instance only, and even then, the instance can be easily substituted, since you don’t need to delete your account to leave the instance; just shift it to another instance.
That’s why it will fail. One can just repost the same thing via a different instance, which the group that wants to censor them may not have control of.
It happens to all of us. Additionally, assuming that you’ve come here recently, there’s not much data on it, and it being deleted will not be that much of a big deal.
Isn’t it de-centralized though?
This completely contrasts the idea of decentralizing the Fediverse.
I’ve heard it enough to know that it’s harmless, paranormal or not.
Is there a karma system?
Let’s hope it’s the former.
When I’m awake at late-night, I sometimes hear children laughing in the corridors of my apartment.
It sounds similar to how it does in the day, which means that it’s neither quiet enough for me to not hear, nor loud enough to disturb me.
Usually, it’s only for a minute or two, and I can ignore it if I want to, since it doesn’t scare me that much.
