I want a Computerphile video where Tom Scott explains how federation works.
TFW it is just like his time zones video...
I imagine federation can be equally frustrating.
Like email. 🤷♂️

it's magic
A salute to the furries that maintain our tech infrastructure despite the noobs that own and run things.

I wonder if I could stitch that together out of random segments.
penis.clownfart
If this isn't real, it should be
Look at the reality police here, probably has real eyes
trashbat.co.ck
The error message dissapointed me way to much. I realy wanted it to be real
Legendary pull
This internet as it was meant to be.
I tried getting in on yiffit.net, but they weren't taking new users at the time. Kinda sad about that.
I almost chose Lemmygrad for my first account because it's an excellent pun and I didn't know that it was for ACTUAL tankies before reading closer.
I'm not sure my enthusiasm for the project would have survived making that mistake at the very beginning lol
dw you still got bark.lgbt/ , woof.group, chitter.xyz , kinkycats.org , thicc.horse , furry.energy , pawb.fun , tiggi.es , ...
there is so so many furry mastodon instances
Not a furry, but thicc.horse is a crazy good instance name.
can i somehow see posts on a mastodon instance without needing an account?
ok nvm only some instances need an account ...
if they are federated from your mastodon, you should be able to see the posts just fine
I don't know if penis.gay exists, but it should. Think about it. If you're a gay dude, and you're out and proud, what better way to find other gay dudes who are also out and proud?
I don't know how social interaction works with finding other like minded gay guys, but do you know how thrilled straight men would be if women had a horny.drippingpussy instance that they used when they wanted sex?
I think part of the problem with guys trying to find sex, is chasing it from people who are in no way interested. So if Tom flirts with Sally, but Sally is asexual, then Tom has a 0% succsess potential if he hits on her at the bar. But he doesn't know that. So after he gets rejected, now he feels bad about himself. Nobody likes getting rejected.
But if Tom went on nsfwlemmy, and found Tina@horny.drippingpussy then he would know that she's just like a Buffalo NY city street in December. Ready to be plowed.
And for gay guys, penis.gay would let them identify to each other that they're all like minded, and judgement free.
Although as I think about this, at least in America, it may not be the best idea, because now ICE is essentially becoming the S.S. and using social media activity to track "undesirables". And I don't trust the republicans to be open minded and empathetic. We all know what the nazis did with gay people in the 30s/40s.
So I guess it would be one of those things that would be great in a perfect world...but because we live in this reality, we can't have nice things.
A good alternative would be ...
penis.mightier
That one should be for writers. Poets and authors and literature enthusiasts. Feign ignorance if anyone comments on the name.
From what I've heard, hooking up is already pretty easy for gay guys. Basically “u want sum fuk?”
Would be funny to make a penis.straight for a bunch of straight guys show up, but then it's nothing but dudes, so it becomes . gay anyways lol
It’s not an instance, and that is one hell of a landing page.
I know touch.wang is a real domain.
Could someone explain the joke? I don't get what Tom Scott is doing here.
I'm guessing it's because Tom Scott goes to plenty of places and some Fediverse users use plenty of instances
Is he like some travel YouTuber?
To my knowledge he basically goes to historically or technologically interesting places like Nuclear Reactors or old bridges and just talks about them.
I think he is a programmer too so it kinda fits.
I miss walmart.horse
(The site was just a picture of a Walmart with a horse in front of it)
The kind of shit the internet ought to be for, tbh
I was on mastodon.social (too big) mastodon.world (still big) mas.to (Cloudflare 💩) mstdn.social (too busy) infosec.exchange (Threads 💩) sharkey.world (currently)
Fedy.tanyl
I was on blahaj.zone until they decided they didn't like it when you call out admin abuse

Why would you want multiple accounts on the same software? Having a Mastodon, a Misskey/Sharkey, a Lemmy, a Mbin, a Wafrn, etc., that makes sense - each one of those have different tech and very different communities. But why would you want more than one Lemmy?
Literally every single Lemmy instance I've ever joined (and then some) has suffered significant long-term outages or degradation of service on a semi-regular basis. I don't use any other social media. So, when I'm looking for my "fix", I don't have time to bullshit around and wait for penis.gay to get to the bottom of their their issues. I want my engagement and I want it now. So off to lemmy.wtf I go if it's up.
But also, some of us have serious accounts geared towards specific topics/hobbies, accounts where we might share information that could be publicly identifiable, and farting around shit post accounts all separated out. Easier to keep the creeps away.
Of the four real instances in that image, there are three different software platforms.
