Depends how u use it. They often stacked multiple people up and the guy at the bottom would get half chopped and be just suffering their for ages.

So domains are recursive tree structures. So u have node com which has a bunch of nodes below it of different domains which can have sub domains etc. Its like this cos that’s how DNS was designed.

Search engines gives scores to domains and pages. When u say that the content origin of ur page is some other domain the search engines will use that knowledge to adjust rating accordingly.

Say u have 2 domains site1.example.com and site2.example.com the search engine will have a rank for site1, site2, and example.com where the rating of both site1 and site2 effect the rating for example.com.

If the content origin for all federated content has the same origin say instance.fediverse.com then the rating for all federated content will be classified as part of fediverse.com and all content will be working together across all instances boosting the fediverse as a single entity.

It would have to be a common domain. So the content origin would have to be something like instance.fediverse.com the common domain needs to be the base level domain.

Kinda. The people wrote a list of demands before heads started rolling. Their speech was ignored and punished so they resorted to violence.

The guillotine.

Federation is a weird one with search engines. Each instance is indexed by search engines directly (if the admins allow it in robots.txt) and the web crawler will then index that Lemmy instance. It used to just be like this and thus a scraper would come across the same content in multiple instances and also find a bunch of back links to said other instances. The search engine would then classify the entirety of the fediverse as an seo hack and ignore it. This issue has since been resolved so now posts include a special HTML tag that tells the web crawler where the original content came from (I assume the instance which manages the content so the communities instance).

What this means is that each instance is individually competing in the search results. When I crawler discovers lemmy.world content through accessing the lemmy.zip instance it knows the content came from lemmy.world and thus rates the lemmy.zip content and by extension the post u where looking for as though it was a lemmy.world page. (I assume all the search providers don’t say how their algorithms work).

Its a shame how this works as it means that each instance has to outperform the competition individually instead of being able to work as a collective. Ideally the fediverse would have a single domain that search engines can be told is the content origin and thus the fediverse would be able to compete as a collective.

Very bold move on behalf of the French government to restrict free speech. We know how that ended up last time.

This tool sounds like something I could write if enough people need it.

Eternity can do this.

Social networks benefit from the network effect. The ides behind federation is to make the network effect work for everyone by making leaving the system an u tenable position. The beautiful part of federation and activpub in particular is that because all content is shared across the same protocol one service improves all the others. Having a short form video service might not be particularly popular but it will then integrate with the rest of the fediverse improving it and cementing the network effect for all services.

This would be more powerful if we could figure out fediversal accounts tho.

Ahh I’d never get one for myself. But for the people who don’t care about freedom, ownership, and money its great.

For an end user iphones arnt that bad tbh just expensive. Says me running the superior GrapheneOS tho.

The more variety the better we are as a social network.

The thing about fedi is how do u stop it. Ban every instances ip? make it illegal to use? They can try but they will have very little success.

I’m really not happy about bluesky their fragmentation of the fediverse protocols is only going to harm us in the long run.

It already exists its called loops
