Now I get to add Tiblur to my wacky list of whistles. Hooray

Based and alien pilled

New copypasta just dropped.

Signing up immediately

I had no interest in what ever Tiblur is, but now I’m gonna go see what crazy shot they do.

I didn’t know mod logs were public! Amazing feature

also it’s federated, so not exactly “censored” because it’s up on other instances

Before the mass migration there was a bunch of crazy extremists using the fediverse.

When “normal” instances started getting popular, those people made communities on there and now they’re the top mods of communities on lots of instances.

and it is, it was removed by the lemmy.world, not from the fediverse, you are on their instance, it’s their rule, go to other instance with less strict rules

It’s not and never claimed to be. Lemmy is a piece of software, the instance owners and community moderators choose what stays and what’s goes, every Lemmy instance is just a glorified forum of old internet. Federation means the post isn’t solely controlled by the instance owners, but deletion is federated so the instance deleting it sends notice to every other instance where it exists to delete it as well, and then it’s up to that instance to do it (tho Lemmy will do this automatically so it would require altering the server code to stop that)

I heard twitter X was the true bastion of free speech. Maybe try there?

The satellite loss is expected and has been discussed pretty thoroughly already. The larger story, to me, is that that the whole starlink project is haemorrhaging money and it’s still being subsidized by taxpayer money, with little likelihood of ever turning a profit.

Edit: why am I being downvoted, lol?

I thought Lemmy was supposed to be the best free speech alternative

I don’t think there’s any useful definition of a “good” free speech website. Because everyone’s going to disagree on the criteria of what makes one good. Myself, I like more moderation, but I like that moderation to be held accountable in an attempt to keep the moderation higher quality and honest. Some people see free speech as no moderation, total anarchy, and I hate that, I’ve seen some websites that tried that, it turned into hate speech and revenge porn and other terrible things very quickly.

Lemmy isn’t just “one thing”. Every instance has its own rules and standards. Lemmy itself has zero policy with regards to free speech, for or against. Nor does the Fediverse as a whole.

You can start your own Lemmy instance and have all the free speech you want.

As has been pointed out previously, this isn’t about censorship. It’s about low quality posting. Even if the information is completely valid your post to Reddit violated the sub rules and your low effort conspiracy postings on Lemmy serve no value.

It’s a balance between latency (altitude), launch weight (more satellite fuel), and number of satellites (coverage area). Would you rather have less satellites and less coverage or more satellites that have a lower lifespan?

Believe it or not, but the engineers over there did probably actually think about this. Starlink isn’t competing with other providers that are at higher orbits such as Geostationary. They are deliberately placed lower for lower cost and transmission delay. When going from LEO to GEO, the limits of the speed of light make a tangible difference in latency between the satellite and the ground. In addition, the orders of magnitude lower cost to deliver to the lower orbit allows them to send many many more satellites, which increases throughout enough to make satellite internet actually usable for high bandwidth tasks.

Individual Starlink satellites are not permanent. You can argue whether it makes sense to constantly have to replace satellites in order to get more speed and lower latency, but that has nothing at all to do with some sort of engineering mistake. Comparing the longevity of Starlink satellites to satellite television, GPS, ISS, etc. is like comparing fuel mileage between a Prius and the Saturn V Crawler-transporter. They are in no means competing on this factor.

Bro stop trolling

it’s almost like all these different regulatory bodies you mentioned don’t serve the people, but instead the wealthy

Im fascinated that an army of musk defenders deploys every time this topic comes up. All with the same talking points. Always with wayyyyy too much info and expertise on the subject almost copy/pasted. Typically their entire comment history is deleted like yours as well and when called out they swarm the accuser ususally smearing them as a conspiracy nutter. Same thing happens when you mention monsanto, fracking, and nuclear power.

While you’re not wrong about there being other constellations in the works, Starlink is the first to actually launch more than a (relative) few. Over 50% of satellites in orbit, total, belong to Starlink.

So while there are other projects planned or under construction, Starlink is the most visible by far, and that’s a lot of why we hear about it the most.

Also yeah, it’s owned by Elon Musk, so that alone guarantees it’ll stay in the news.

That’s irrelevant. It’s not a news article, which it is required to be. You can’t just post random ass blog posts or meme pictures there.
