The fact that it needs a bridge is what makes it not federated. Federation allows for interconnection without bridges, because everything talks the same protocol. You can bridge Discord to Matrix, and that doesn’t mean Discord is federated.

He isn’t even being better than anyone, all he does is publicity stunts while not fixing anything. Everything he has donated was for tax writeoffs.

The reality is that if you want to have access to that privilege, you should not abuse it. The fact that communities were built in a car centric manner does not imply you can do whatever you want because nobody can take your car away. Either you drive responsibly, or you don’t drive.

I’m not saying you should be taken to prison. All I’m saying is if you don’t know how to drive safely, you shouldn’t drive. If people are unable to drive at safe speeds, they should not drive at all, and it’s up to them to figure out an alternative (public transport, bike) or find a job that they can walk to.

I’m not leaving anyone without the option to go to work or drive anywhere, if they want that they can just drive responsibly.

That’s a slippery slope. The limits are there for a reason, and it’s considered unsafe to go faster. Everyone should be doing the speed limit, and if people consistently drive over the limit, they should absolutely have their licenses removed.

If driving is essential for you, then you shouldn’t drive like an asshole, go over the speed limit multiple times or drive recklessly, endangering others.

If you’re putting people in danger because you can’t understand the implications of driving a multi-ton metal box at insane speeds, you shouldn’t be allowed to do it.

Working for and allowing people to kill other people is also a pretty shitty thing to do.

Torrenting on the TOR network is actively discouraged. It uses a lot of bandwidth, and it hurts other people’s speeds.

If you want to torrent on an anonymous network, use I2P. It may be harder to set up than TOR, but you can torrent entirely inside it. It has trackers inside, and a lot of clearnet torrents have also been listed on them. And most importantly, I2P is more prepared for torrenting than TOR is. When you connect to it, you add capacity to the network, so using bandwidth for torrenting is not as detrimental to it.
