Hypothetically: Lemmy instances where every user has to have physically met an admin and proved that they’re real or something. And they’ll only federate to other instances following the same rules.

It’ll almost be like the early 90s dialup BBS small communities, with FIDOnet ;)

The end of the anonymous web is nigh. We may not like it, but it’s probably the only way. We used to joke in the 90s about requiring an internet driver’s license before allowing people on Usenet. It might actually be happening.

He’ll be bored. Then he’s dismantle it and keep the $1B ransom he got from each dictator to be a member, and claim it achieved all if its goals.

Was in Chile earlier this year. There is a nice museum in Santiago which is basically about the Pinochet era. Seemed to be pretty honest about the whole thing. They didn’t blame the CIA at all. They did talk about the school of economics that Pinochet subscribed to. That’s influence, yes, but not the same thing as orchestrating the coup.
