- kelseyfrog 4y agoIsn't the whole point of federation that you can simply spin up your own instance?
- joshlemer 4y agoYes, but all the non-communist servers, combined, have an active user base of like 100.
- kelseyfrog 4y agoUm, recruit some more users? This is a good opportunity to take personal responsibility and individual accountability for a problem as you see it. The first thing people need to learn about stoicism is that you can't change other people as much as you want to. Make peace with this and do things that are in your control.
- jevgeni 4y agoYou must see the contradiction in this comment, no?
- throwayyy479087 4y agoWhy do I have to do that? How is that something I’m responsible for? I don’t own those instances and I don’t like the existing users. I’m going to just keep using Facebook, and this will die off
- kelseyfrog 4y agoI just think we're capable of opinions more mature than complaining about something and then expecting others to fix it for us. This is a social problem, not a technical, financial, or legal one. Recruiting and organizing people is a fundamental skill in the modern world. The only thing stopping one from doing this is merely saying the right things to the right people.
- yarg 4y agoIt's still a problem if it impacts the development model - and if I remember rightly from last time Lemmy came up, it does.
