  • If any federated banning networks do pop up, I’d expect them to form groups, with different groups having different standards. And the idea being that if someone’s banned from one place with similar standards, the rest of the group probably wouldn’t welcome the content.

    It’ll come down to places and groups being reasonable, and not banning for stupid reasons (at least by that group’s standards). And if they are unreasonable, it’ll reflect on the group, as nobody would bother posting to those instances any more.

    And in a way, the ultimate “ban” will be with the host instance, similarly to email.
    An admin at lemmy.world might get a report that an account is spreading csam links everywhere, and to consider banning them, for example.







  • Have a think about how you want to arrange your data. While you can access windows partitions and files under Linux (and vise versa), it’s better not to be constantly be mounting your windows C drive from another OS. Plus, if you’re mid-update, or had to restart suddenly, windows will happily mark your drive as read-only.

    I use 4 partitions for a dual boot. Sizes are based on a 1TB drive.

    • Windows C (100GB or so, OS drive). Only mounted by Linux if I have a big problem.
    • Windows D (NTFS formatted, my main storage partition. Mounted all the time by Linux. 700GB or so)
    • Linux root (50GB or so, EX4 formatted)
    • Linux storage (remaining space, EX4 formatted used for big programs, games, home folder)

    This way, Windows OS is separate, main storage is accessible to both without tripping over permissions, linux root drive is separate from storage so reinstalling isn’t so painful if something goes very wrong.
