SO2 actually (very temporarily) cools things down by seeding clouds and creating sulfuric acid aerosols. That's not, like, /good/, but by making more clouds (and also decreasing the size of droplets in clouds, and thus increasing their number) more sunlight is reflected to space.

@Chozo I wonder if this bodes well for Kbin/Lemmy? Arguably their model is more about content than social relationships.
@Athena5898 there isn't a single globally applicable answer. It depends.
@mystphyre AFAIK this is a known issue that the developers have been looking at in the last few days. Hope to have a fix soon
I'm curious why this recent trend isn't visible in Google Trends? I watched the November exodus unfold in real time there. This time not a glimmer of activity
@Redhotkurt it sounds like maybe you should create it?
@poVoq yes this sounds sensible. I think the key is the user themselves having more control over their identity.
Have you read https://nexus.blacksky.network/zine/00000001/confederal-protocols similar themes that we're talking about here.
@JonEFive I think the identity bit is the hard part, as you say most content will be federated/ cached in several locations for retrieval
WebauthN maybe? Pretty niche right now, but the threadiverse is quite a techy crowd..
@JonEFive I've been wondering about separating the ID/auth from the app. Someone recently got Keycloak working and that has some possibilities for federation. Not sure if that really helps though. You still have to trust the keycloak admins
@JonEFive I do run an instance that's just for me https://fledd.it (configured as a news aggregator) it was easy on elest.io. $10/ month is too much for most people though. I don't think this is the route to mass adoption.
@tedmustard you may be looking for https://lemmy.world/c/foxnews@kbin.social
@Ori I'm making the US regional, I forgot to add in a default for areas outside of the covered regions. It should work again now.
@JonEFive Multi-magazines are certainly desirable and would to some extent mitigate the data loss caused by an individual server going dark.
I guess the larger issue is if your 'home' instance is the one that goes dark, taking your personal account with it. Maybe it's in fact user account portability that's most important to work on. Assuming that multi-magazines happen fairly soon.
@HandsHurtLoL Arguably you're not the magazine owner. The server admin is. That's kind of my point.
At the moment the server owner effectively 'owns' magazines & communities. Is that the right balance of power? What happens when servers go offline, or server admins go rogue?
In a world where both users and magazines had public and private keys and magazine moderators had the tools to do off-site backups.
Could the magazine moderator then do an unassisted migration to a new place?
They revoke the key that gives the original server the right to host the magazine. They use the key to re-create it on a new server.
Somehow notify all the members the magazine of the new location. The users use their public keys to reclaim their identities and content.
Would that give mods too much power?
It all gets complicated fairly quickly! I think the Bluesky AT protocol is somewhat close to this model for user content, but doesn't really extend to 'community' scale content.
It falls short of a full confederal protocol

I stuck a service on https://kbin.world that redirects you based on a IP lookup for your country. In descending order it tries to;
-
If there is a kbin instance for your country it redirects you there (Just Poland for now!)
-
If you have a feddit instance for your country it redirects you to the most appropriate magazine on that instance, within kbin.social eg Germany
-
If you have a large national community on another Lemmy instance it redirects you there, again within kbin.social (eg Brasil)
For the ones I haven't got around to it redirects you to kbin.social homepage
It could be broken down to regions too. As more national or regional kbin instances emerge I'll replace the existing feddit/other sites.
I did a bit of testing with Pingdom and it seems to work
In the process I noticed that New Zealand and Japan feddit instances won't load for some reason. Any idea why?
I was recently talking to some friends about Lemmy and the whole Fediverse idea, as it seemed like a really cool part of the Internet. As I was talking about it, though, I realized how unusually friendly this whole place is, and I joked that I “surprisingly haven’t found any bigotry.” I’m wondering ...
However, when reddit crapped the bed, by comparison, the threadiverse basically didn’t have an established culture. There was a handful of lemmy instances (we were one of them), but the only one of notable size was lemmy.ml. kbin didn’t even exist in any meaningful way until a couple of months before reddit died.
So, when reddit died, there was no established culture. Instead, people brought reddit culture with them, and reddit culture, because of lax admins, was much more tolerant of hate speech than microfedi. And so, people who are “reddit people” more than “fediverse people” set up lemmy and kbin instances, and brought those reddit norms with them.
So then, you get instances like blahaj and beehaw that are threadiverse instances, but have the “old school” microfedi approach to bigotry. We smash it down hard at the first hint of seeing it, but most of the instances we federate with don’t attack it so aggressively.
I didn't write it, but it seems good

I've been running a Kbin server on a service called elest.io for around a week.
Had a few teething troubles configuring caching, but that should work out of the box now.
If you can point & click on stuff in a semi-sensible manner then you could run your own instance for yourself, a specific community/sub.

Japan wants to release Fukushima's waste water into the ocean - and a lot of people are not happy.
Confusion as spokesperson says reports Misuzulu Zulu in hospital after falling ill were untrue
A study shows that only 17% of Western firms with local Russian units prior to the invasion of Ukraine have exited Russia. Those that remain are paying Moscow billions in taxes, indirectly bankrolling the Ukraine war.
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ukrainian defenders killed about 670 Russian servicemen and destroyed 88 units of various military equipment and systems at the front line over the past day (4 July).
ABC News was invited to the drills in the city of Zaporizhzhia this week, about 30 miles from the plant.
Amid fears Russia might blow up the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Ukraine has been holding drills to prepare emergency services with how to deal with a potential radioactive disaster.
ABC News was invited to the drills in the city of Zaporizhzhia this week, about 30 miles from the plant, where firefighters in hazmat gear simulated decontaminating people from radiation during an evacuation.
Emergency workers demonstrated scanning civilians with Geiger counters as they disembarked buses, stripping some civilians and hosing them with water as they lay on stretchers. Firefighters in yellow suits sprayed down vehicles and moved them through a large washer system rigged up between fire trucks.
Rioters ram-raided the home of a Parisian suburb's mayor and launched fireworks at his wife and young children as they fled during a fifth night of unrest over the police shooting of a teen of North African descent.
PARIS, July 2 (Reuters) - Rioters ram-raided the home of a Paris suburb mayor, set the car alight and launched fireworks at his wife and young children as they fled during a fifth night of nationwide unrest over Tuesday's police shooting of a teen of North African descent.
Vincent Jeanbrun, 39, the centre-right mayor of the southern suburb of L'Hay-les-Roses, was at the town hall when his house was attacked with his wife Melanie and children asleep inside.
The aggressors drove their vehicle at the suburban house but were halted by a low wall ringing the property's outdoor terrace, the local public prosecutor said. They then torched their vehicle.
Supreme Court ruling overturning right to abortion has emboldened some US-based organizations that advocate against abortion
Nowhere in the world has a higher rate of unsafe abortions or unintended pregnancies than sub-Saharan Africa, where women often face scorn for becoming pregnant before marriage.
Efforts to legalize and make abortions safer in Africa were shaken when the U.S. Supreme Court ended the national right to an abortion a year ago. Within days, Sierra Leone President Julius Maada Bio declared that his government would decriminalize abortion "at a time when sexual and reproductive health rights for women are being either overturned or threatened."
But some U.S.-based organizations active in Africa were emboldened, especially in largely Christian countries. One is Family Watch International, a nonprofit Christian conservative organization whose anti-LGBTQ+ stance, anti-abortion activities and "intense focus on Africa" led to its designation as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
