Generally speaking the police (and in some countries the prison system is a de facto separate police) deals far better with it's members being threatened,especially as their self perception is different and their managements goal is not to make a fucking profit first.
Implementing Portable User Identities with DIDs
Here's an idea to make Lemmy even better: true account portability.
Right now, your Lemmy account and all your content are tied to one server. Moving instances or having one shut down means losing your digital presence. Frankly, the server controls your online identity.
But what if you controlled your identity?
I've opened a discussion on the Lemmy dev GitHub about integrating Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs). Think of a DID as a permanent, global ID you own, independent of any server.
Why DIDs are a game-changer for Lemmy:
- Real Account Portability: Move your entire account – posts, comments, followers – to any new instance seamlessly. Your identity travels with you.
- More User Control: Your online presence becomes resilient, managed by an ID you control, not governed by a single server's policies.
- Proven Tech: It works. Protocols like ATProto (Bluesky) successfully use DIDs for portable user identities.
- Full Fediverse Compatibility: We can add DIDs to Lemmy while staying fully interoperable with Mastodon, Kbin, and all other ActivityPub platforms. No breaking changes, just a powerful upgrade.
This is a big step towards a more decentralized and user-controlled fediverse. If you're interested in more control over your digital self, check out the discussion:
**[GitHub Issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5942]**
If you're on other ActivityPub platforms, consider pushing for similar solutions! The more platforms that adopt truly portable identity, the stronger the fediverse becomes.

Israel soon will halt or slow aid to northern Gaza as military offensive grows
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel will soon halt or slow humanitarian aid into parts of northern Gaza as it expands its military offensive against Hamas, an official said Saturday, a day after Gaza City was declared a combat zone.
The decision was likely to bring more condemnation of Israel’s government as frustration grows in the country and abroad over dire conditions for both Palestinians and remaining hostages in Gaza after nearly 23 months of war.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media, told The Associated Press that Israel will stop airdrops over Gaza City in the coming days and reduce the number of aid trucks arriving as it prepares to evacuate hundreds of thousands of people south.
Israel on Friday ended daytime pauses in fighting to allow aid delivery, describing Gaza City as a Hamas stronghold and alleging that a tunnel network remains in use. The United Nations and partners have said the pauses, airdrops and other recent measures fell far short of the 600 trucks of aid needed daily in Gaza.
“We left because the area became unlivable,” Fadi Al-Daour, displaced from Gaza City, said as vehicles piled high with people and belongings rolled through a shattered landscape. “No one is searching, and there are no journalists to film. There is nothing.”

These past few years have shown how badly humanity hasn’t truly shaken off its barbaric nature. I’m in my mid-40s and I grew up during a time where yes, there were still some issues, but on the whole it felt like humanity was finally starting to evolve, but now it’s the same shit that’s happened across the centuries just with a different veneer.
The fact we constantly repeat our shortcomings should have been a clue in and of itself, but I though that technical advances would also further us too instead of just coming up with more efficient ways to be assholes.
Israelis and Palestinians protest for peace as journalist Mariam Dagga's family mourns her death
NAZARETH, Israel (AP) — In the streets of Nazareth, Israeli and Palestinian activists wore stickers replicating the ‘Press’ insignia emblazoned on flak jackets and other clothing worn by journalists as they rallied for peace in Gaza. Their message: Journalism is not a crime.
A throng of people wearing blue-and-white ‘Press’ stickers — used to identify journalists in dangerous areas — gathered in the Israeli town on Friday to call for an end to the war in Gaza, which has killed nearly 200 journalists among tens of thousands of others. Some held photos of Palestinian journalists killed.
’’Don’t assassinate the truth,” read a banner the protesters held. Some banged on empty pots to symbolize hunger in the Gaza Strip and protest the killing of journalists.
Mariam Dagga, a 33-year-old who freelanced for The Associated Press, was among the war’s victims. She and four other reporters were killed earlier this week when Israeli forces struck Nasser Hospital in the Gaza town of Khan Younis, along with 17 other people.
UK refuses to invite Israeli government officials to London arms fair over the war in Gaza
LONDON (AP) — The U.K. has barred Israeli government officials from attending the country’s biggest arms fair over growing concern about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The decision does not cover representatives of Israeli defense contractors, who will be allowed to attend the DSEI UK exhibition, scheduled for Sept. 9-12 in London. The event was formerly known as Defense and Security Equipment International.
“The Israeli Government’s decision to further escalate its military operation in Gaza is wrong,” the British government said in a statement. “As a result, we can confirm that no Israeli government delegation will be invited to attend DSEI UK 2025.”
The decision comes after Prime Minister Keir Starmer in July announced plans to recognize a Palestinian state unless Israel takes steps to end the crisis in Gaza, agrees to a ceasefire with Hamas and commits to a long-term peace agreement. Britain previously barred sales to Israel of any arms that could be used in the nearly 23-month war in Gaza.

They de facto only blocked from attending people who didn't needed to attend.
This press release of theirs is another example of the traditional technique in British Modern Politics (and not only there, but in Britain using that kind of thing is a fucking art form) of presenting a miniscule barely bothersome action on something that goes along the direction the public wants as a massive action in that direction whilst in fact not really doing anything in any way effective in the direction that the public wants.
It's like when they loudly announced they had "Limited arms sales to Israel" some months ago and then in the details it turned out that they had blocked about 20 categories of weaponry out over 300 (and this all the while they kept flying surveillance flights over Gaza to give the info to Israel).

Company behind Jack Daniel's says Canadian boycott is 'significant' as sales drop 62%
Parent company officials say trade dispute is causing 'significant headwinds' and 'significant impact'
The parent company of American alcohol producers such as Jack Daniel's whisky and Woodford Reserve bourbon says sales to Canada dropped 62 per cent during the latest fiscal quarter compared to a year ago, as American alcohol remains off the shelves in many provinces.
After U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canadian goods in early March, a number of provinces retaliated, pulling American alcohol from store shelves. Alberta and Saskatchewan have since lifted the ban.

AI in fiction is a boring concept to me. It’s presented either as “What is a person?” or “What if we create an evil god?”. To me anything with feelings is a person and the other is just a chrome paint job on evil god characters in non sci-fi genres, so it’s just a speculative dead end.
AI in real life is much more interesting and its proliferation makes fictional AI seem even more bland. Real life AI is first and foremost not intelligent and probably not even close, that said we have no rubric to grade it by because we don’t even really know what intelligence is yet. That said, machine learning algorithms highlight patterns in the world and in our behaviors that are fascinating just because they show just how complicated the world and people are in ways our brains just passively process. Kind of like how QWOP highlights just how difficult and complicated walking is.
Yemen’s Houthis say prime minister of rebel-controlled government killed in Israeli airstrike
cross-posted from: reddthat.com/post/49026720
Yemen’s Houthi rebels on Saturday vowed to take revenge for the killing of their prime minister and other political leaders by Israeli airstrikes earlier this week.The Houthis confirmed Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi was killed in a strike on the Yemeni capital Sanaa on Thursday, which also left others seriously wounded.
Mahdi al-Mashat, head of the Houthis’ Supreme Political Council, said in a video statement, “We promise to God, to the dear Yemeni people and the families of the martyrs and wounded that we will take revenge and we will turn the wounds into a victory.”
Al-Rahawi is the most senior figure in the Iran-backed Houthis to be killed in Israeli’s campaign against the group.

Rwanda received migrants deported from the US earlier this month
cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/35133682
- First group of seven migrants arrived in Rwanda in mid-August
- Three have expressed desire to return to home countries
- Trump has taken hardline approach toward immigration
WASHINGTON/NAIROBI, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Rwanda received seven migrants deported from the United States earlier this month, a government spokesperson said in a statement on Thursday, weeks after the two countries reached an agreement for the transfer of up to 250 people.
"The first group of seven vetted migrants arrived in Rwanda in mid-August," Rwandan government spokesperson Yolande Makolo said in a statement
"Three of the individuals have expressed a desire to return to their home countries, while four wish to stay and build lives in Rwanda. Regardless of their specific needs, all of these individuals will receive appropriate support and protection from the Rwandan government."
U.S. President Donald Trump has taken a hardline approach toward immigration, aiming to deport millions of immigrants in the U.S. illegally and seeking to ramp up removals to third countries.
A U.S. State Department spokesperson on Thursday referred questions on the deportations earlier this month to the government of Rwanda and declined to comment on details of diplomatic communications with other governments.
"Implementing the Trump Administration’s immigration policies is a top priority for the Department of State. As Secretary Rubio has said, we remain unwavering in our commitment to end illegal and mass migration and bolster America’s border security," the spokesperson said.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Collapse of critical Atlantic current is no longer low-likelihood, study finds
Scientists say ‘shocking’ discovery shows rapid cuts in carbon emissions are needed to avoid catastrophic fallout
The collapse of a critical Atlantic current can no longer be considered a low-likelihood event, a study has concluded, making deep cuts to fossil fuel emissions even more urgent to avoid the catastrophic impact.
The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (Amoc) is a major part of the global climate system. It brings sun-warmed tropical water to Europe and the Arctic, where it cools and sinks to form a deep return current. The Amoc was already known to be at its weakest in 1,600 years as a result of the climate crisis.
Climate models recently indicated that a collapse before 2100 was unlikely but the new analysis examined models that were run for longer, to 2300 and 2500. These show the tipping point that makes an Amoc shutdown inevitable is likely to be passed within a few decades, but that the collapse itself may not happen until 50 to 100 years later.
50 to 100 years from now? .... phew..... i can rest easy now ..... at least all I have to worry about in my lifetime is extreme heat and hurricanes .... I'll let the next generation worry about the mid Atlantic Ocean current failing
Hey it might even start a mini ice age .... which would be a good thing because of the global warming right?

Andriy Volodymyrovych Parubiy (Ukrainian: Андрій Володимирович Парубій; 31 January 1971 – 30 August 2025) was a Ukrainian politician[7] who co-founded the Social-National Party of Ukraine in 1991, and who served as the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, the Ukrainian parliament, from 14 April 2016, to 29 August 2019.
Despite his move away from the Social-National Party in 2004[30] Parubiy was frequently the target by pro-Russian media, who routinely refer to him as a Nazi, especially after the Revolution of Dignity.

You know, we can acknowledge the errors of Ukraine without removing their rights to live as a free country.
Ukraine had a big problem with far right, and it was full of corruption. I don't know to which extent it is still true, but that doesn't mean we should let Russia annex or ethnically cleanse them.
Check out Dmytro Yarosh, Pravy Sektor or the Azov Brigade for example. They have far more reach than "1% on elections".
Historicaly the nazis were very popular in Ukraine because they fought against the soviets which, as you can guess, weren't much liked by most of the population. They were seen as heroes and liberators by a lot of people. That doesn't make it right, but it makes sense. History has a tendency to be grey like that.
Well, those groups were obviously among the first to fight against the Russians in eastern Ukraine after Maïdan. They were very active in the Maïdan revolution too.
It's a valid thing to point out that integrating neo-nazi or nazi-adjacent people like that in the government and war machine is problematic. That doesn't invalidate Ukraine's legitimacy or give credit to Russia's stupid claims. But denying those facts only fuels the russian propaganda machine.
I wouldn't really call Azov brigade nazi any more, although they do have an origin as a nazi organization. They were cleaned of most of that crap around 2018 or so.
Also, in 2014 Ukraine de facto had no army, as they had found it impossible that Poland or Slovakia or Moldova would attack them and believed that even if that was to happen, the Russia would come help. And when Ukraine then needed some military might when this war began in 2014, the only ones who had learned to properly use a weapon were the Moscow-funded extreme right wing oranizations, who merrily bit the feeding hand when it tried to start punching them.
Ukraine began with building an actual useful army in 2014, but for a long time the informal extreme right organizations were stronger than the Ukrainian military and police forces combined, which meant there was a real threat of a far-right coup in Ukraine. The way Ukraine was able to dismantle those dangerous organizations was by slowly allowing them to integrate into the Ukrainian army, while at the same time everything possible was done to water down the nazi symphaties from those units. Nowadays by far the biggest part of Azov soldiers are against nazism, but of course there are still ugly symphathies among the oldest members of the organization. For example, the Azov battallion changed its logo away from being the wolfsangel already a couple of years ago, but very often you still see the old logo in use. And that is a nazi symbol. But, because the majority of soldiers in Azov units are there to fight a war in a skilled unit where they are likely to stay alive, I still would not call it a nazi organization now in 2025.
Of course, when you're in the trenches, the philosophies of your fellow soldiers are less important than their ability to shoot the orcs between the eyes.
And to end this text: Most of the funding for the Ukrainian right wing extremists came from the Russia, until in 2014 it stopped. Since then, the amount of right-wing extremism in Ukraine has been in a steady decline, while at the same time it's been on a rise in the Russia and in territories occupied by the Russia. Just like in any other country that has been under Russian influence during this century, there is indeed still a big nazi problem in Ukraine. But it's important to understand that in any areas under Russian control the problem is and will be rising, whereas in other parts of Ukraine it's decreasing. A country having a nazi problem is not a reason to decline helping them reduce the amount of nazism. (And the problem is not bigger than that in present day Germany, BTW. But still, just like in Germany it is important to do something and that something is indeed being done, it's also important in Ukraine to do something. And that something is also being done. Stupid to claim the problem doesn't exist, stupid to claim that it's a defining feature of Ukraine.)
Historicaly the nazis were very popular in Ukraine [...] They were seen as heroes and liberators by a lot of people.
That is a blatant exaggeration bordering on revisionism. They were seen as liberators by a minority upon invasion in 1941, that quickly changed once the people realized the facts of the occupation, and millions fought against the nazis.
It's so fucking far more than one percent it's not even close. Oh such an enormous reach, if you "do your own research" instead of looking into facts.
My man, either stop eating russian lying narrative, or stop spreading it, preferably both.

Mirror Instance for Interactable Archiving
Hello fellow Fediversians,
I have been mulling over an eminently feasible and inevitably controversial solution to a couple of challenges I see with the Fediverse gaining traction, and becoming the primary microblog/forum platform for many users. Also I believe this solution can fill a valuable function of accountability in the form of unbiased archiving.
Essentially the concept is an instance entirely populated by bot accounts, accounts which individually scrape the publicly posted content of public figures from other platforms and reposts that content in quotation, with timestamp, link-back attribution, and cross-links to other posts referred to by the primary post if they exist within the archive. Also may include comments requoting the post if it is edited with new timestamp, etc.
Why do this? Well simply put it would create a consolidated archive of published cintent from public figures which cannot be tampered with for the purposes of accountability, similar to the Wayback Machine, but with the added function of direct interactivity via federated services.
In this way Fedenizens can follow their favorite public figures on-platform and interact with their content in a separate persistent environment, and journalists can have a fully up to date copy of what has been said without filter or revision.
This is all extremely feasible with the help of ML agent scripts, even if APIs are not cooperative.
What are your thoughts? If you were an instance admin would you block such an instance or allow it?
There is of course the issue of how to pick what public figures to add to the archive, but I suggest this can be done by nomination. Who nominates? Well the other function of such an instance would be for individuals to self-nominate in order to mirror their content from other platforms into the fediverse. I suggest that these members can also nominate other accounts, perhaps with a quorum voting system, say 5 nominations succeeds in adding a person to the archive.
Some people may in the end choose to use the instance as their primary, as they interact a lot with the archive streams. I think this would be a welcome outcome.
You don't know about the mastodon unofficial bots reposting from X (without interaction of person postingon X) and Lemmy unofficial bots and sometimes whole instances following RSS feeds or those somehow don't fit what you aim for?
