Technically it’s not the resolution that changes, but the optics (unless you want to bring out the fancy math and treat it as a sampling resolution thing based on smallest recognizable detail)

The main program is open, but the development tools are not

Besides all the other stuff mentioned, you can invite them to stuff occasionally and prepay everything. Make it a family event if you want to.

Plenty of family subscription services too (including for some of those your listed), although distance limits might come into play for some family subscriptions

Degree of certainty is the difference

The famous Cheshire Cat

You need to set up a publicly accessible device (in this case the VPS) as your IPv6 gateway

So you set up your VPN connecting your network to the VPS (should probably be set up from the router) and set your router to advertise an IP adress for the VPS which is routable from your local network as the gateway address (and should probably also run DHCPv6 for your network)

(note, I have not set up this stuff myself so I can’t help with implementation details)

Obsession with control, including control over future generations

Not everything is hooked up to that

With an automated refactoring step to pretend it’s really not derivative work despite being extremely derivative

In plenty of places, if you work with food and handle allergens then either you need to flag very visibly that you can’t guarantee separation of allergens, or you can be on the hook for accidents too.

So by default your instance respect mod removals.

You can change that as a server admin, so comments would remain visible to other users on your instance.

I think your instance is authoritative for content of comments, but the community hosting instance is authoritative for which comments are approved (other instances respect such removals by default)

Somebody should consider building a fork that works of bluesky’s content addressing scheme, that way communities can effectively be re-homed in full even if the server dies

Lemmy stores your posts and replies on both your host server and on the server of the community.

One interesting behavior to note here that is different from reddit is that while comments on reddit belong to the profile of the person commenting and is then imported to view in the subreddit (this is why you can edit comments after being banned, and why there visible in your profile even if removed from a subreddit), on lemmy the target community is instead authoritative and your host server will by default respect a deletion by community mods on different servers by also removing that comment from your profile.

Clustering algorithms plus a focus on keeping your attention (watch time), not on quality

The topic and creator based clustering of multiple interests will pollute that anyway, because they don’t care about precision and just care about keeping your attention

I have watch history turned off precisely to avoid getting personal recommendations because they have always sucked for me

And the current right wing government is looking closely at US republicans in particular

I’m not taking the fall!
