Some of the best stuff in the world looks like it’s 20 years past a prime that isn’t, because they’re truly good eternal.
IDK how easy it still is these days.

Hell, trolls could go around and recreate accounts on the top 100 instances with the same username users have on other instances to prevent them from reusing the same username elsewhere, just that is a weird concept to explain
Yes but that doesn’t mean you should get automatic dibs on a name everywhere. It’s just a name. If you are Joe Bill at lemm.ee, that does not give you any rights over the name Joe Bill all across the world. Statistically speaking, there’s at least 18 thousand other Joe Bills around at this very moment.
Like, this is something that is already solved by the instance’s moderators.
Well, what’s stopping someone else from adopting TomHanks@Lemm.ee?
There’s over 1400 people solely in the US named Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks The Celebrity does not get patent rights or trademarks or copyrights on the name.
Wanna know which is the Tom Hanks The Celebrity? Check if their profile is authenticated against their personal website, à-la-Mastodon.
A toot is literally the sound of a birb. It’s got more comfy than “tweet” does.
Sounds like a good idea in theory, but in practice would kill the entire usefulness of the subscribed view if people have to subscribe to entire magazines / communities / whatever only to vote on one particular stuff in them that is relevant to them.
Oh, and for the record, linux is ALSO a confusing hot mess for the average person. But until linux developers accept this,
I’ve heard the same kind of stuff about lots… lots of things that “will never catch on”. Every one of those doomsayers were wrong. Some of them unfortunately, but still, they were all wrong.
God I wish someone went and finally fixed that. It’s incredible that of all the FOSS and community stuff you can find on the internet, lemmy is the big one that can’t even remotely be browsed via w3m / elinks / anything-without-Javascript.
If this later returns as ed.ch
(more streamlined and lightweight, minimal featureset, perhaps not even the ability to store remote files so as to avoid the CSAM issues, etc) it’ll be The Day.
I would hav thought stuff like Lemmy would have configurations to eg.: not allow to upload images locally, only hotlink.
Anyway, an alternative is “zero knowledge” storage, where you don’t know what you are storing (hence, you can’t “choose” what to host or not host either). Another alternative is disjoint storage, where two different servers store different halves of a file (eg.: an Odd Bytes server and an Even Bytes server), but this means now it’s necessary to hit more servers to recover a file.
But the sensible thing to do IMO is to apply “common carrier” concept. The water distribution company is not, to my knowledge, held liable when something happens like you fill a bucket of water and share it with someone else.
All that is needed is a way to find what you want and a solid system of building trusted profiles with ratings and such.
Wouldn’t the second part require a trusted means to verify that a given profile actually sold you the promised thing, as well as some trusted means (two-party signing, maybe) to announce that a payment actually took place?
XMPP is the way.
aeooooooooooo~

It’s certainly and obviously not, but:
Does Youtube have a monopoly and network effect? Sure, absolutely, and someone’s gotta correct that. But it’s not a complete monopoly in the sense of “if you don’t eat you die”. If the main supermarket in the area doesn’t like me because “boobs” or something, I can still go to a minimarket.
…Look, you really get tiresome. I’d ask if you are fine but honestly you are not my problem. If you need serotonin or something, get you seen; don’t try to drain mine.
“Fedi”
Already more than 50% shorter.
In comparison, asterism symbol (and any proposal that further extends into Unicode’s emoji area) still spends three, maybe four bytes.
What I’m hearing here is
I mean , not with that attitude certainly. And dog that doesn’t bark doesn’t eat.
But if you want to be self-defeatist, you do you. I’d thought half the point you were even here, in a platform that is not GAFAM, was that you weren’t.
This is the most stupidest idea (yes, double superlative, that’s how bad it is) I’ve heard posted on the Fediverse since… well, the last time I heard the most stupidest idea, and that was also here on the Fediverse. So, congratulations on that front.
There’s like 123456 bad things with this idea, starting with the obvious of blockchain and cryptocurrency, and continuing with the fact that “quality of instances” is equated to “consumption of content”. Popularity and connectivity are not indicators of quality.
