Wouldn’t buy a GMC but Chevy is ok? The money goes in the same pocket buddy, they’re the same cars with different badges!

The Prologue and Equinox are a joint venture between Honda and Chevrolet!

As a Canadian I would never buy a GM product because of the shit they pulled after 2008.

They’re suing in French court.

Well, in a system like I’m talking about, adding your server and storage space in the mix would make the whole thing more reliable and add to the storage capacity so more content can be hosted/backed up, just like paying for a second server to host a website allows to store more stuff and to start creating backups. You would still help build the community (the website), you just wouldn’t have an administrative role outside of the communities you would want to moderate.

Same for all free games they give, it’s up to the user to give the publisher their email

Boowoo, shut up if it’s all you have to share, no one cares

You guys should have voted against that if that’s not what you wanted.

Well, that’s to bad for the US now, isn’t it? Maybe they could adopt a national ID that makes sense while they’re at it.

What is the incentive for people to host an instance at the moment?

What is the incentive for people to share files via peer to peer networks?

What is the incentive for people to host Minecraft servers?

Need me to go on?

If in your mind the only incentive that people have to host instances is to have power over it and its users then they’re exactly the kind of people you don’t want to see hosting instances.

Or you make it like a traditional website with an API used by people making frontends, but the backend (the database) is decentralized, just like regular websites but instead of having a bunch of servers owned by AWS it’s just a bunch of people providing storage space on their servers.

Man, it feels like you guys haven’t spoken to a real human in decades…

Man, people really do love their fireworks… Noise, light and pollution, Yay!

I wonder how many of you guys complain about cars for the same reasons…

Stress can cause vomiting, hell it can cause it in humans!

Split the non Republican vote so you leave the door wide open for them? That’s the problem with first past the post…

Lulz, good job guys!

I’m surprised the altercation wasn’t just a woman assassinating him

Like the right keeps doing with memes!

I’m talking about Mastodon and Lemmy and such since that’s what OP is complaining about

All those federated platform will only become popular if the backend is dumb and the frontend is smart, i.e. you create your account on a frontend but can use the same credentials to connect via another frontend and no matter which frontend you connect to, all content for the platform is accessible to you, there’s no admin having control over your experience, only people offering different UI experiences. Federation/defederation/deciding to host NSFW content, that’s all taken care of behind the scene just like on Reddit, for the user they’re just using Lemmy via frontend X or Y and they decide what communities and users they want to block.

That’s how you save the economy! By wasting money!
