Normal people don’t mind the billionaires as long as they’re not intentionally pushing fascist content. They want a product that they don’t need to understand to be able to use.

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.

You’re mixing up your problem with Twitter and normal humans’ problem with Twitter, get out of your echo chamber a bit, it might help.

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…

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.

All I remember of the first one was that it was brutal as fuck

The nightmare of paperwork and the cluster fuck it creates for tracking people made Quebec’s government change its stance on the subject in 1981 and since then people who want to do it when they get married have to go through the same process as they would have went through to change their name for any other reason and if I’m not mistaken on government IDs the women’s married names were changed back to their original name.

It becomes a pretty major issue when it’s one of the main sources of information for people though…

“who”

No one

Yeah, good way to have meaningful conversations where you can bring convincing arguments! /S

Konami doesn’t limit itself to Japan, look into KCMS/SYNKROS when you have the chance.

Maybe, it still doesn’t mean the intent is to hurt non-cis people and you can’t expect them to make an exception for people they can’t prove are part of a certain minority and you can’t expect them to make the thing free-for-all either.

So you realize that all you’re talking about can apply to cis-hetero people as well, right? Hell, it for sure applies to a bigger number of them than of any other group.

Anyone can live far or close to their family. Anyone can have a hard or easy time bonding with others. Anyone can be in a long distance relationship. Gays and people of color do have traditional families (hell, if I’m not mistaken their divorce rate is lower than heteros!)

Just because it affects you doesn’t make it anti trans or homophobic or aimed at your group.
