What you see on Bluesky is a lot of people using their own domains for their handles. They are not hosting their own instances though, it's only their identities. Their connection to the AT protocol still goes through the central Bluesky server.

Theoretically, yes. Practically, the way their model is set up, it costs a lot to host a federated server so no one is doing it.

No. I have blocked a few specific lemmy.ml communities but I don't generally avoid interacting with lemmy.ml.

There are other instances I have blocked completely (a certain grad).

I have no idea how this is from a legal point of view, but the fact they only give her the possibility to finish all that work within 24 hours sounds illegal

Fyi @informapirata@mastodon.uno I have crossposted the meme to !fedimemes@feddit.uk where the audience might be a bit more appreciative of seeing memes :D

Afaik nutomic recently improved federation interoperability with projects like WordPress that use "Person" instead of "Group". But idk the technical details for that.

3,5% milk is also the standard milk here in central europe and it says so on the packaging. People call it simply "milk", but it clearly says 3,5% milk on the branding.

Depends on the context. If it is written/talked about in a geographic context, it will usually mean "the Americas". If it's in a political context, it will mean "the USA".

Keep on mind that reputable news outlets won't use "Amerika" when referring to the US however, they will use "Vereinigte Staaten" (United States). "Amerika" as a term for the US is very much a colloquial thing.

I have no TV. I watch all my movies and series via a big PC screen which has no TV functionality.

So you mean, thematically focused on the fediverse? Or able to listen to over the fediverse?

Linear TV over an antenna? Well that's only technically free. You'd need to buy a receiving device - that costs money. You need to watch ads - that costs time.
