Its working guys. The decentralization is working. I for one think its amazing that we've created these little social medias to fight like Pokémon and nobody can stop us.
A wild lemmygrad appears.
Which instance do you choose as counter?
I'll trade you a shiny piefed.zip and one of my quokku's for it. Tryna complete my lemmydex.
I actually don't think the Lemmy Platform decentralization is working at all. This is evidenced by the fact that several times the tankie lemmy devs have pushed a top of the site banner to beg for donations to help run Lemmy ml, and most instance owners admit they're not equipped to audit the code and remove it.
I think Piefed is a superior solution for that reason.
medias
That's already plural. It's like a hat on a hat.
Can we please make it be "social's media"?
Lemmy is a lot weirder of a place when you start to realize instances are like virtual nation-states and the admin teams are ALL despotic auth-rulers with the temperaments of toddlers.
For real. I can't even keep up with what db0's weird ass mod stances are. I just wanna look at memes and chat with people
db0 seems fixated on complex governance arrangements. We get it. You're an anarchist. Amazing.
I'm not even an anarchist, I just wanted a somewhat populated instance with less down time than world. The political ideation of the more hardcore members of db0 certainly seems like a pipedream more than a realistic plan for government (or lack thereof). But hey, I'll take hate for consolidated political power over bootlicking any day.
anarcho-pragmatism, lol
this shit seems to suck at least a little bit less than most other shit, therfore, join the anarchist instance
unironically i love this
I agree, but thats not really what im getting at.
Theres this Fediverse Anarchist Flotilla which is supposed to be like an alliance of instances with shared rules and commitments and whatever. It just seems completely unnecessary to me.
Its like... 5 people catch up every week to drink beer and watch a movie. Its great and everyone enjoys it. Then one guy says you need a chairperson, and rules, and a secret handshake, and a versioning system for the rules, and a documented arrangement with some other guys who do the same thing at someone else's house, and your own crypto coin for donations, and all the things.
Its all unnecessary.
People fail to understand that exactly this is the concept of a federation. You only agree on a few things, in this case the software, everything else, however, is fully individual.
Federation is not the solution here. The only solution that would work is peer to peer - no hosts at all, pure anarchy.
the astronaut meme but its 'wait that is how almost everything ever has worked this whole time?'
lemmy just fundamentally attempts to accept that that is basically how people work, when you boil things down and remove the rationalizations, and tries to provide mechanisms to manage this somewhat less insanely.
me watching the constant mill of fediverse drama between hexbear/piefed/world/dbzer0 from a tiny irrelevant instance
Who's Rimu?
He's the piefed dev.
Piefed is a 1 to 1 replacement for lemmy, compatible with other fediverse things.
I joined a piefed instance specifically to move away from the lemmy devs.
Now it turns out the piefed dev is a petulant fief lord.
I should do that as well honesty
As is tradition.
He seems to have made a post admitting he lost control

Fuck if I know lol, I don't really keep up with all of the fediverse drama
Okay but this is actually funny.
Like it was a 24hr ban.
But are you like actually complaining about this and not posting it because it’s funny?
Lmao. There's so many layers to this.
The replies to my comment on that post are my favorite. Truly zero self awareness.
Totalitarians are more alike than different from eachother.
What's the "PPB" list?
PPB is "Pig Pooping on Balls." One of hexbear's favorite reaction photos is a pig with testicles so large they stick out back, and the pig literally has some of its own poop resting on its gargantuan balls.
So I guess they have a list of users they see as helpless, ignorant pigs. Delightful bunch, those hexbears.
This is so on point for hexbear
They don't seem to realize how unhinged they are
Heh, someone downvoted you as if they think you made that up. Can't blame them for that assumption.
