What percentage of those communities actually voted though? If it wasnt significant, was the poll even meaningful or representative of the community?

But do we actually know that it isnt a small group unilaterally deciding to take reddit down? From all of these threads about reddit recently there is a lot speculatively statements pointing to heavy support of this boycott. But there is ne

Reddit (the company) controls the platform. They can just install new mods if the current mods arent doing their job. I doubt most users would even notice that the mod names have changed.

Why use the fediverse code? If you don't need the complexity, why include it?

But they dont care about how email works. Type 'mom' in to, type message, hit send, call mom to let her know you sent an email. Same with reddit/others. Most users dont care about how it works or what makes it special or what

Even better, if they could leverage LLMs, they could maybe automate a large part of the initial moderation. They have already acknowledged that these models were likely trained on their data. Why not feed new posts back into it and determin

Lemmy is falling over with less than 100k users. How are they magically going to handle 5x, 10x, 100x? The platform is maybe interesting, but the devs need to own up to the fact that they dont have a scaling story -- written in rust is not

How is reddit highly cacheable? Maybe old/infrequently accessed discussions are cacheable, but the live set is too dynamic. So there probably isnt much of a win there. The feeds are definitely not cacheable (except for maybe on a per u

Wut? People migrated to reddit, because it was one of the few similarly featured platforms at the time. HN was (and still is more or less) a niche forum revolving around startups and SV. reddit was literally the only centralized place on th

This would seem like a good way to remedy the problem, but afaik, the limits also include the Oauth clientid. So, limits are actually tied to the client application as a whole -- not just user usage. This is where the limits for a popular a

Not all high-traffic websites are comparable when it comes to sustainability. Comparing reddit and Wikipedia is definitely an apples and oranges situation. The software, data model and infrastructure are wildly different. Just the simple fa

From what I can tell after digging into the code, the server is responsible for signing everything. I was really hoping that users would have more control in regards to this. I have a similar concern, what prevents the server from publishin

Why do you think that? Of course some actors will be larger and more popular than others, but what about the protocol inherently leads to centralization?

If you dont mind using the console apps, it seems like you are able to query from gosky and slurp all(?) of the data with the bigsky app. Im not sure if that is intended though. I dont even have an account or invite code yet -- just on my l

I think that is pretty fair, but maybe I am more interested in the "keeping it running" component. Labor of love and donations can only go so far. When a env/population outpaces love and donations, what keeps the servers onli

But you are ignoring a huge component of using github. If you only use github as a central, shared repo, sure you lost almost nothing. Their git infra seemed to be operational throughout this, but if you use the major features of github: is

I think you are wrong. Our CI infra caches all dependencies, but it depends on github for new internal code pushes (kind of the point). If github is not sending events, CI doesnt kick. Youre ignoring half of the problem. If you dont receive

I see nothing wrong with how Go's map implementation was described. Go has never claimed to be completely safe for concurrent operations. Deadlocks, inconsistent state, etc are more than easy to accomplish. But, it still stands up to a
