In the US this would probably turn into a point of pride pretty quickly.

How well-developed is this telekinetic power? Could I, for example:

  • Continuously turn the air 10M around them into a horrific miasma of farts by doing organic chemistry with nearby carbon and sulfur sources?
  • Always make it much too uncomfortably warm near them by raising the local temperature?
  • Condense the moisture out of it so that the politicians are always dripping wet?

I think in absence of doing real harm to them the best bet is to make them and everyone within 10M of them as extremely uncomfortable as possible.

oh good point (and not entirely obvious).

Not like we can stop it. If it’s online and not behind some kind of auth it’s getting slurped.

Ah that makes sense. So federation implies copying essentially, and not merely linking. Thanks!

 

While I understand the concept of federation I'm unclear as to what it actually entails at a technical level. When lemm.ee eventually shuts down, will all of that user content (posts, comments, votes, etc) cease to exist? Is it mirrored on other instances?
