Could also be the exact opposite (experienced this with consumer grade electronics based on microcontrollers often enough):
Because of the large capacitors, voltage from the power brick kinda "ramps up" when it is plugged into the wall. The device/its MCU/most specifically its clock circuit however prefers a hard edge of power being turned on, to reliably trigger its power on reset circuit/oscillator.
You can think of it similar to a pendulum/newton's cradle/metronome - they also prefer one decisive push to get going reliably.
Unplugging the brick for a longer time is still worth a try, but it could also be this.
The ruling has been updated to say that accepting cannot be more convenient/streamlined/less clicks than rejecting, though.
Getting that enforced is another matter altogether, however.
There's CookieAutoDelete (or anonymous tabs, containers, ...) for the other side of this issue.
As for the first points, yes, that may happen, but is it a problem for users who already are part of a 'better' experience here than on the for-profit platforms?
I, for one, find much better discourse here than anywhere on reddit, let alone Meta or Twitter.
Also exemplified by me engaging much more here than ever on the others. I do prefer quality over quantity - everyone is invited to join the table, but I don't see much benefit in luring people there who would ultimately only dilute or be disruptive - ie, not really into the thing that's happening here.
For the last point, well, legislators can certainly try. While telling people it's all for their benefit and upholding freedom and democracy and equal opportunity and whatnot. And even keep a straight face.
But they happily give it to Threads, no...?
Yes, I know, I'm being somewhat more provocative here than necessary.
More down to reality, thousands of accounts being registered within seconds, possibly all from the same IP, aren't ordinary user activity. And quite feasible to filter for.
Heck, you could even ask for the eMail and offer some "or, if you rather wouldn't, you could..." thing that basically serves as a CAPTCHA.
... in another browser (desktop instead of mobile), I get "Video not found" now...
That video site feels slahdotted...? Can't get it to load properly.
Is the original content available in another way as well?
(Disclaimer: I haven't read into that referenced article by ninja at all, maybe it already says something related)
For one, it may be possible to filter accounts that were created but actually never used to log on, within a week or two of creation - those could go without much harm done IMO.
And/or, you could message such accounts and ask them for email verification, which would need to be completed before they can interact in any way (posting, commenting, voting). That latter one is quite probably currently not directly supported by the Lemmy software, but could be patched in when the need arises.
How would they ensure this latter thing?
In my current understanding, it's readily possible today (on Lemmy and related software), what could Meta do to keep this from continuing to work?
From my (admittedly, deliberately naive and provocative) perspective, what is the (possible) "added value" of Threads' ad-infested feed over the community experience straight on Lemmy?
Regarding cookie pop-ups, there's a little known gem: https://consentomatic.au.dk/
