hopefully this doesn’t become itself a platform for brigades as all the others have.

i have no problem with the concept of more than one website.

i vote no on federate all the things.

There are surveillance reasons you’ll want hosting in the US.

count me in

oh wow you have your own instance now?

not mentioned:

facebook will make the social web liable when federating their content and use us as fodder for their regulation grievances.

the whole point of threads is to work around international regulations.

no it won’t. yall dont read.

Scores could be hidden by default. Until then the redditors will continue their invasion.

They admitted to federating for research back around bluesky’s announcement.

If you don’t want your data scraped you’ll need to use e2ee.

If I didn’t mind Meta scraping through all this, why wouldn’t I just use Threads?

I’m curious what precautions you have taken to prevent web scraping of your posts.

all sorting is based on algorithms.

the entire fediverse is based on algorithms.

the problem has never been the algorithms.

that’s too large.

the fedi needs more and smaller instances.

i also currently host multiple instances at thejoyo.com

it costs me $60 a year at a US vsp.

why is that? I can moderate multiple instances, no problem.

more instances are better

that’s a good point, maybe each community needs to be it’s own instance.

what about Lemmy’s design lends to toxicity?

why was that all but missing until a couple months ago?

I’ve been on the fedi coming up to 15 years soon.

this year has been the worst.

this place is toxic like never before.
