Are you telling me that's an unpopular opinion? If so, I'm downvoting because I always downvote people who "predict" the popularity of their comment.

- qikInNdOutReply 4y agoIts unpopular in the "going against the narrative of dezentralisation that spawned the platform" way, as its human nature to have social places to gossip like a village plaza, church or in this case, many servers. Likely outcome is thus, one official battlefield of opinion, and some smaller echo chamber servers depending on political leanings.
- blowski 4y agoI'm not interested in your assertion of the popularity of that opinion, though. If you have data to _show_ it's unpopular, that would be interesting. Otherwise, let your opinion stand by itself, allowing other people comment and vote on it.
- Karsteski 4y agoHonestly same, I do not understand why people start their comments like that... Just say what you have to say
- qikInNdOutReply 4y agoBecause it filters out a large part of the federation concept defending noise, if you state this. It prevents decentralization vs centralization discussions, which always results in developers missunderstanding "centralization of a social organism" like the state or society, as a externally forced upon evil instead of a choice by the majority. If that concept were really even contemplated, it would be discussed constructively, as in "how can we integrate moderation and distribution of costs and labour for a service provided by the public for the public".
- blowski 4y agoI want to understand what you wrote there, but I honestly have no idea what you mean. I can't even work out whether you're addressing the Mastodon issue, or trying to justify writing "unpopular".
- natch 4y agoYou literally started your comment with "honestly"… Just say what you have to say, indeed.
