I think the way Lemmy federation works is kinda perfect and I feel like things will mostly sort themselves out after a while. Like, I can foresee large and small islands of federated servers, and while that might not seem good at first, I think it can work.
For example, I might have two Fediverse users, one I use in the “mainstream” island, and another I use in not-mainstream servers that has more controversial topics. A kid might have a user in a kids appropriate island where there is no federation with servers containing adult content.
Maybe a Lemmy client can then combine content from my two users, so I can view content from the mainstream and my alt servers together.
I feel like another critical change happened, and that is that Reddit’s users views of themselves changed. The idea that we are giving Reddit free content and labor so they can profit from it is spreading around.
An ugly underlayer has been laid bare and many are finding they don’t really like it.
Capitalism has no interest in preservation except where it is profitable. Thinking about the long-term future, archaeologist’s success and acting on it is not profitiable.
That’s funny, I’m testing YouTube alternatives.
I think we’ll eventually find out once we create a true super intelligence that all it really wants is to chill and play, and laugh at the familiar.
This is where my mind goes. Kinda convenient that Twitter and Reddit, both likely particularly dangerous to those seeking power happen to be destroyed seemingly intentionally in the same year ahead of a sure to be insane U.S. election season.
I hope it will continue to be available on EPEL or something.
Wow me neither, looks promising!
