  • I probably cant contact the relevant yemeni authorities privately but this guy probably could have. Also confirming a few phone numbers to rule out the larp idea is surely not impossible for a journalist of this level. To prepare for both of those he had 3 days btw not 2h.

    Even if you didnt do it privately, you could just share the info anonymously with the public. That wouldnt prevent the strike because it would just be delayed but it would have still been a decent warning.

    Basically anything is better than doing nothing, giving Trump a win and letting people die for political games.

    Just publishing the messages about “bailing out europe” before the strike would have made trump look stupid. But instead this “journalist” played for the bigger scoop to make a name for himself while accomplishing nothing but some short term entertainment.

    … was a Bosnian Serb student who assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir presumptive to the throne of Austria-Hungary…

    The killing of the Archduke and his wife set off the July Crisis, a series of events that within one month led to the outbreak of World War I.


  • The information contained in them, if they had been read by an adversary of the United States, could conceivably have been used to harm American military and intelligence personnel

    So you are telling me you could DEFINITELY have saved innocent lives in Yemen but chose not to because there could have “CONCEIVABLY” been harm done to US military personnel?

    Oof. Death cult through and through.




  • Yeah nope. At least not so far and i dont see why it would change. The current situation is that you can host stuff yourself, but you wont be able to connect and federate with any other servers or users without bluesky’s permission. Its not a level playing field and it never will be.

    Lemmy (and similarly any other federated system) is only NOT enshittified because people successfully grew lots of competing servers and therefore prevented a monopoly power. If lemmy.world hosted 90% of lemmy users, i guarantee that it would have quickly turned to shit.

    Even if bluesky was using proper federation and people started setting up other AT Protocol instances, bluesky would still hold 99.9999% of all users. They have literally zero reason to change this situation and changing it would cost them millions in advertisement for other completely independent instances.

    It is waaay too late for bluesky to change in any meaningful way.
