I don't think the post is saying who's right is simple, but that both of them need to do more research until there's enough context to perform a proper assessment. In the situation shown there is not enough information to determine what the facts are and it's bad for either of them to form an opinion on incomplete context. I agree with the counterpoint, if the situation is vague, do more research first.

Most of his suggestions are just advocating for greater transparency. What's the weird part?

Actually, I don't. I'd rather this not turn into a spectacle, just you broke the law, you were found guilty, now go to jail. Having it become a whole crazy political war I don't think would be good for the country.

And again, they're volunteers, they're already doing a service and they shouldn't be forced to take legal risks they don't want to.

It's really annoying how lazy people are, the solution is to just have multiple accounts. It's two clicks to change accounts but those lazy mfs have no response to that except that they don't want to.

Yup, they're a big target and being a big target means more liability. Spreading the fediverse is good for us all. It means taking down piracy is like whack a mole.

Judging by the posts I see on nextdoor people with homes are ridiculously paranoid too.

Push and pull are purposefully similar because they're doing the same actions in opposite directions

Are those features client or protocol specific? My Lemmy client, connect, let's me block instances and has search for posts, communities, users, comments, etc.

The super famous ones do but for every one of them there are thousands of poorly paid ones. What the studios are doing would remove the possibility of even becoming well paid in the future. These strikes are about helping the people not at the top, and about protecting their upward mobility.

Advice on what instances to join, coordination to move communities, technical advice for those communities to form instance, etc.

Signed into the wrong account and Lemmy delete doesn't work 😬

I think that's a good thing. Different topics have different moderation needs and I think specialized instances will be better equipped to deal with those special needs. Communities being on separate instances is by design and we shouldn't have an expectation for instances to do everything.
