rah, rah, bite the flower

Don’t worry, there’s a clusterfuck of an election to look forward to if you dont get invaded

Oh, absolutely. I would even say that description of their attitude towards workers rights is an understatement. I’m just talking about their lofty goals for the project and how even with the best engineers and best workforce in the world their stated timelines are physically impossible

It’s almost like they set a bunch of absurdly unrealistic deadlines and now cannot figure out how to meet them

Coming in scents like “PRIMEVAL GRIME” and “WOODCHIPPER”

Careful, from what I hear its an incredibly time consuming one

While I agree that an IPFS solution could be quite resilient, I’m not sure that the average person is willing to put up the resources or risk of hosting content. CSAM, copyright, etc, all become more of an individual risk that you’re relying on moderators to mitigate for you. (Rather than the risk going to the server hosts typically doing the moderation covering their own ass)

Additionally, while there may be decent representation of people willing to do some small amount of hosting of services (myself included) on lemmy, I think making this mandatory really limits the growth of your social media platform.

I think you could achieve what you’re looking for right now by self-hosting a private lemmy instance with signups closed, and this wouldn’t close you out of existing federating platforms.

That’s because you’ve chosen an instance that is more heavily curated. You can check which instances yours has defederated from at sh.itjust.works/instances

But if you look at the same page on mander.xyz/instances my admins are only defederates from threads.net and burggit.moe, so I already experience the fediverse as you describe.

I just feel like the whole problem the fediverse is trying to solve is admins slowly selling out and then having to move somewhere else. Having one website still has that problem of switching costs if you want to go somewhere else, you lose access to everything in that sphere of content. If the sh.itjust.works admins go crazy and start moderating in a way you don’t like, you can go sign up on another instance and not lose any of the communities or people you used on your former instance.

But then it’s centralized on one website and the person who owns that domain has control over the whole

I love him
