Just feel things are very different now. Much harder to fight/work around with govt. And this leads to my 2nd link that, kinds of conspiracy, that we maybe already have backdoor in open source projects because they are hard to detect as long as there are pre-build tools.

Anyway, lots of feelings after reading this post…

Or, I think this can be, kinds of, archived by ‘simple’ enhancement at client side without changing today’s server side implementation. At Lemmy client, user can choose to group several different communities to user defined virtual community. Like today’s client, we have ‘All’ and ‘subscribrd’ 2 big groups, If the web/app client allow user define more group like ‘news’ ‘meme’ etc, and combined then in one view, then that’s pretty much meet your needs? Tbh, this will be very cool feature if any client can do this, or there is already such client?

Maybe because Linux rarely die?

Full of ‘excuses’, don’t want to repeat, you can google many articles about gpl violation (or not). My opinion is this is bad. Your based on thousand other people’s free/open source work, and added your work, if you want to limit/restrict public access, then don’t use gpl based linux, go back to your AIX. ( This restriction is violation GPL, I know lawyer with huge money can argue anything, so again imo)

Haha, TSR, man, good old memories… Is there a famous TSR called sidekick? Chain of CD 09H… :)
