I didn’t say extremist I said toxic but really anyone who’s poorly socialized will go where they’re allowed, which in Lemmy terms means general catch-all instances with loose moderation like .world and .ml.

I didn’t say extremist I said toxic but really anyone who’s poorly socialized will go where they’re allowed, which in Lemmy terms means general catch-all instances with loose moderation like .world and .ml.
If they choose to migrate to another instance, it will likely be a more extremist instance with poor moderation that has been significantly defederated.
In theory this is how it should work, but in practice the toxic people tend to move to general purpose more laissez-faire places like .world or .ml, which makes de-federating and cutting off 30% of all users a difficult decision for anyone trying to have a community.
The answer is less centralization, but that can’t be forced. beehaw.org (for example) made the decision to cut off .world and they are better for it. But they are a large-ish instance in their own right.
Exactly, it also means we can have different regions for different types of conversations, much like in the real world.
Why would someone who doesn’t like blocking and de-federation like “federated platforms”?
“You censored me for my opinion”
“What opinion was it?”
“…”
“What opinion was it Anakin?”
TrueNAS is fine but the dead-simplest I’ve ever seen is CasaOS which has one-click network file sharing.
Exactly. I remember when my favorite teacher said “This is a textbook. Check it out sometime”.
Eh, just because you can’t make a horse drink water is no reason not to lead it there.
I’m surprised there’s no fedi version of Facebook but I’m also sure as the fediverse evolves we’ll see the return of personal websites but with activitypub-based social features.
Things like what?
There is so much wrong with that firehose of nonsense you just said I don’t have time to correct it all. So I’ll focus on this one point:
Bitcoin may not be run by “a single government” but it is run by a small group of billionaires. You’re a fool if you believe widespread adoption of it can improve things for regular people.
They’ve been extremely transparent about this:
I do that too! And fwiw haven’t had to manually configure auto-mount for other drives in a while.
Honestly, for a good distro, the brand is not great. Perhaps this can be viewed good opportunity to go with something more unique!
Nobody’s mentioned Homarr or CasaOS but if you want an out of the box “Just works” but still open source experience they’re the best bet.
Right, but try doing that with a 10 day old server created in 2024. That’s the hurdle people are referring to.
RSS like podcasts. A compressed 1080p video is totally doable over most Internet.
This might be the most lemmy comment I’ve ever seen.
If you’re not familiar, 404 Media is definitely worth supporting. High quality, no-bullshit journalism.
Not to people with a financial interest in promoting Monero.
