Mastodon doesn't move posts.

Provide the ability for users to migrate their account and all associated data (posts, comments, moderation actions, saved posts, etc.) from one Lemmy instance to another.

To implement this feature you'd either have to:

• Edit the DB entries of every instance to match the new profile;
• Create copies of the old content on the new instance and federate that out, thus duplicating all the data. You could have it delete the old content, but you'd still need to recreate all the posts and comments.

Either of these would be very susceptible to abuse. Giving bad actors a button to force instances to run hundreds, potentially thousands, of operations probably isn't the best of ideas.

It's hard to give a direct source because he's deleted quite a bit but this thread has a screenshot.

The person who runs it doesn't recommend Lemmy because of the political opinions of its main developers.

Kinda funny now given that Eugene of Mastodon has signed an NDA with Facebook.

To be fair, an ASML engineer explaining some advanced piece of tech would be great ASMR.

It would be weird if the OTW just outright stated that fanfiction was copyright infringement, starting off from the position of "yeah, it breaks the law" would be a bad form of advocatory. The case they link on that FAQ is about a parody of (at the time) 20 year old song, which is materially very different from how fanfiction works. I do think if it ever did go to court that a non-commercial exception would likely be carved out, but as it currently stands I don't think there's any precedent in either my own country or America that can be used to argue that fanfiction meets the criteria for fair use/dealings. Then again, I'm not a lawyer so my opinion probably isn't worth much.

(sidenote: it's mad that American copyright law doesn't have an explicit exception for parody)

Fanfics are 100% copyright infringement, there's no fair use/dealings defence of them. There's just little point for corporations to go out and enforce their copyright, fanfic authors likely don't have much money and it'd be a PR nightmare. Obviously this equation changes when people start to profit of fan work, it's why AO3 doesn't allow direct links to donation pages.

I use Tilix, mostly because I'm used to it. I should probably upgrade to the plethora of new GTK4 terminal emulators, but I just can't be bothered. Plus none of them support tiling.

Isn't Thunderbird completely self-managed? I don't think they have anything to do with MozCorp.

No, they're asking about getting stuff posted on Mastodon to appear on their Lemmy feed. You've got the platforms the wrong way round.

You can't, unless the Mastodon user tags a community you're subscribe to.
