Dbzero seemed good until they mentioned anarchism and anti-right-wing directives which means it’s a leftist-first instance and that’s a no-go even if I do support their cause.

Back in 2014 you just bought a spare and replaced it, nowadays they all want to play the same bullshit games Apple innovated on. It was was about time an authority that ruled over a market with significant purchasing power made a decision against it.
You paid $100 for a battery replacement!?!? My Galaxy S7’s second battery cost us $12!
Not being bri’ish
Just kidding, I’m neither lol
Boo hoo, I am so stressed! I can only fly in a gold plated private jet instead of a rhodium plated one. The west has fallen, trillions must fly
if you’re on Android just use xManager
That yellow background is so unreadable 🍌
There was a project called Yacy but it clearly never took off.
just like RSS feeds did not become mainstream while Reddit did, the current state of the fediverse will not gain mainstream popularity; however, it’ll serve as a stepping stone towards a new federated internet that’ll be seamless and intuitive for non-technically-inclined individuals and those who are indifferent to the implications for privacy and digital freedom.
97% of people will only jump from walled garden 1 to walled garden 2
97% chance of being EEE. Suddenly everyone will be coming to the Fediverse but not because they’re interested but to talk to people on Threads. Then they’re going to deviate from the AP spec slowly and become the de facto standard and so on. Or they’re going to pull a Google Chat.
Even if it was, it’s a red herring. Lemmy is AGPLv3 licensed to ensure you will always have the liberty of knowing whether a malicious instance is doing shady things with the source code. On the “enlightened” platforms you have no such possiblity. I can’t stress enough the importance of a strong copyleft license for most important software you use.
most of stack overflow, IT subreddits and SEO content farms that regurgitate stack overflow data summed up in two sentences.
Snarkiness, snobbery, walking on eggshells, opinion downvotes and in general the unbearable attitude of most redditors.
Sadly people will still jump there. It will eventually overtake Mastodon in numbers because people are dependent on the convenience of walled gardens.
Back when I was a teenager I had the blind optimism the future would be bright and we would keep all the positive trends we had in the early 2010s.
But is hosting your own mail server and using it for work/finances/everyday life still an option? I don’t think so, at least not without workarounds because sooner or later you will have to send/receive to/from big email.
No server is required to use them, and the amount of spam and fraud they filter out is enormous.
Okay you do have a point. The thing is they get abused for email where it’s pretty much a racket. I just really hope Lemmy doesn’t end up the same way, since if some bad faith powerful actor starts having control over a list then they get to dictate which servers can federate and which ones not, which is pretty much a walled garden.
I do get the need to identify malicious instances preemptively though, spambots are a threat wherever we go and some instances are just insufferable like exploding heads.
I think the small instance can temporarily defederate to reduce the load. kbin.social had to do this during the first reddit exodus because they grew too much too fast and couldn’t handle the load.
I have nothing against Canada itself but it being a US core ally means it’s not safe for piracy.
