Fascinating how the federated Bluesky spam came from Nostr. Dorsey’s lovechild vomiting crap all over his disowned brainchild. Clearly he bet on the right horse.

Yeah, it runs like a charm on my T14s. No that I’ve tried much else.

This. Conservatives tend to themselves be the victims of a failed system, hating them for failing to address it in a useful manner is hardly constructive. I reserve my hatred for billionaires.

PieFed is also a nice project, though it doesn’t do microblogging so it’s more of a Lemmy alternative.

I guess the whole point here is that people come from different platforms - I’m not sure it makes too much sense to include the platform in the community name at all. General names like ‘AskFedi’ or AskAround’ would make a lot more sense in my book. I don’t really care all that much which software a community is hosted on.

I think it is a pretty major issue. A single-user instance shouldn’t need more than 100 GB. The internet is too bloated, which is a democratic problem as well as an environmental one.

It’s of some importance for the Fediverse in particular, as we want to have a system of many independent instances with low running costs and minimal environmental footprints. A bloated piece of software running on one centralized server is different from it running on thousands of decentralized ones, and higher running costs means that instances are more likely to disappear rendering the network more fragile.

Of course it’s not the biggest problem out there, but I think it’s important enough that it should be a priority.

Anymore? The onion is, and always has been, dead serious.
