I think I have to read up on the exact definition of “group”.

Here you go.

Represents a formal or informal collective of Actors.

has there ever been discussions regarding SSO?

Don’t know about Lemmy specifically, but there has been discussion on SSO in the fediverse in general. There is an FEP (Fediverse Enhancement Proposal) which lists some implementers. I have also heard the client-to-server API part of ActivityPub could be used for this, but I don’t think projects usually implement that (it’s optional). It should be theoretically possible to provide SSO for any fediverse project which has an API with authentication. I think. So sign in with Lemmy should be possible, but it’s up to those other projects to implement it.

Like others have said, you can follow accounts from those servers. If they present themselves as group actors, as Lemmy (unlike Mbin for example) doesn’t allow following non-group actors.

You can’t however just go to their website and log in with your Lemmy account. ActivityPub doesn’t have a built-in mechanism for this, but some platforms like Mastodon iirc have a solution and there have been efforts made to standardize something. But there’s nothing supported by the Lemmy side of the fediverse yet afaik.

If you want to subscribe to a group actor from Lemmy but can’t find them, try searching for the full URL from its home instance. That should tell it to go and fetch the actor. If you want a Lemmy-like experinece but also the ability to follow non-group actors, switch to Mbin. Same applies there, if you can’t find an actor on your instance, search for their full URL on the search page and it should fetch them from their home server.

they can put out arrest warrants and fines

Of course they can, but they’re unenforceable if the instance’s operator has no presence nor assets in the UK. That’s why I wrote “forced” in bold. They can issue shit, but that’s where it stops.

and possibly have the person extradited to the UK

According to Wikipedia, extradition requires that the crime is such in BOTH countries. So no, I don’t see that being an option here.

But how can it be a shadowban if no one got banned? Shadowremoval or shadowdeletion would make sense, but shadowban sounds misleading for that usecase.

Will Lemmy instances be forced to verify users’ ages identities?

If they’re located in the UK, sure. But given how small Lemmy instances are, I assume they’ll fly under the radar.

Non-UK instances won’t be forced to do anything. The UK can’t do shit outside their borders, so as long as the instance’s operator doesn’t set foot into the country, all they can do is block the instance in the UK.

They do mention their wife went to their profile to track down the comment and it said it’s removed.

Which to me suggests the wife was able to load their profile, see the comment there, click through to the thread (since comments don’t say they’re removed on the profile) and then didn’t find it there.

Which is why this doesn’t look like a shadowban to me.

If she manually goes to my profile and tracks down the comment all it says is “[Removed]”.

it’s not displayed anywhere for them to check

According to the post on the shadowban subreddit which explains shadowbans, posts by shadowbanned accounts are sent to the subreddit’s spam queue. If true, that means it IS displayed somewhere, just buried in the actual spam.

I don’t think what OP experienced was a shadowban. It sounds more like a regular comment removal.

If the bot or mod doesn’t reply to you, you don’t get notified iirc.

Are you sure you’ve been shadow banned? You can check your account here.

What you’re describing just sounds like a regular comment removal by automod without a reply telling you about it (so you don’t get notified either).

If she tries to find my comment it isn’t listed. If she manually goes to my profile and tracks down the comment all it says is “[Removed]”. However, from my perspective the comment is still live with 1 view and no activity.

That’s how removal works. It’s still visible to you, it shows up as [Removed] to others. Iirc comments by shadowbanned accounts just don’t show up at all to other users.

Edit: Are they even still removed by now? Might have just been a tentative removal pending moderator approval. I do see recent marriage-related comments on your Reddit profile (assumed same name as here) which I can find in their respective threads.

I mean, it’s positive for both sides. Russia has a war economy now, they NEED to keep going or their economy will collapse. And a war with NATO might get China involved as well on their side, so it’s not like Russia would be fucked for sure.

Ukraine isn’t a US puppet btw (I assume that’s whom you mean with nazis). I do disagree with the nazi claim too, but I’m not going to be able to convince you there, so I’m not going to try either. But Ukraine isn’t a US puppet, they literally have to beg the US to help them out. A puppet wouldn’t have to ask, as their actions would be in their master’s interest in the first place. They’d get full support. Whether you believe them to be the good or the bad guys, Ukraine is in this of its own volition, not because the US or Europe told them they have to fight.

Of course he does, Russia will outlast Ukraine in the long run if NATO countries don’t start joining the fight. I don’t see how it would be a surprise that he dreams of getting actual help.

Even if Ukraine somehow wins this, the war got to be exhausting and stressful for him and everyone else involved. Getting help, or even just a second enemy for Russia to be distracted by, would be a positive for them no matter where this goes.

Just donate to them if you want to, why make it this complicated. If you don’t want your money to go towards running the instance, then donate directly to those devs not involved with running the instance.

Why? “Threadiverse” has been used before Threads became a thing, and “thread” is a generic term that has existed for ages and doesn’t belong to Meta.
