Are yall not sponsoring this project on patreon or otherwise?
I pitch in something like 1-2 bucks to desalines and a few bucks to .world every month.
[goes on mastadon]
random opinions:
Not saying I don’t go in for it sometimes. But its a bit like Twitter. It feels like an entire auditorium talking all at once, to everyone, all at once.
Draw me a picture of a full glass of wine. Full to the brim. Practically spilling over.
I don’t get the karma hangup thing. Like… Lemmy does have Karma, but we just don’t culturally make it a priority.
I refuse to believe any year past 2020 happened.
Too many cooks: Handwringing. Whataboutism.
The authors misunderstand how to think of the (and even) elements of the fediverse. It’s still taking a competitive view/ worldview/ framing, and when that’s all you understand, sure. But the right way to understand the fediverse is as protocols, like email, and each branch as a flavor of email, or some other misguided metaphor. And it’s it’s only a problem when infinite growth or exp. scaling is your goal. However if neither of those things are your goal, it’s more of an annoyance.
Commercial capture: More handwringing. Misidentification.
Meta took a crack at capture. It didn’t seem to have worked. The fediverse is populated by the leavers, not the takers. The Internet happens at the edge and the normies are always just catching up a few years too late. The point of the fediverse is that it’s a extraordinarly easy to vote with your feet. If the fediverse can fall victim to a 51% attack, fine, well just leave and do it again.
Guilty by association: Again, more handwringing. Also, we should do that.
Federated p2p file sharing e2e file sharing for unsavory bits that governments and corporations don’t want you to have sounds like a great idea.
It’s in the CIA field manual, that when you want to destroy an organization from within, urge caution, and question every unfounded problem.
7·24 days agoWhat was your last web search?
I do
n’t meanthis in a pretentious “guy in a turtleneck sniffing his own farts” way.
you job barely pays enough to feed you AND and you have a noncompete?
There is almost no way that’s enforceable.
Shit aint free.
I mean when we were over at (the bad place), people were literally donating monthly to pay for server costs. (the bad place) in the early days was basically one giant instance.
except it didnt have a working video player. for-fucking-ever.
so I donate a bit to my mortal enemy @desalines and a bit to lemmy.world to keep the project going. Maybe 5 bucks a month between the two?
