Subscriptions yeah, you can download it with some settings and upload to a new account on most (all?) instances.

Comments tho I’m not sure what you mean. But I can’t think of any interpretation where you’d be able to migrate those.

People would just pool resources to store the content and would have control over what they decide to store on their servers but wouldn’t be able to influence the user experience because users would just be pulling content from all the servers.

How do you think they’d choose?

If no one is hosting a picture, or even a text post, how do they see it to decide if they want to host it?

And if it’s already there, why does it need someone else to host it?

It just can’t be both, and it kind of feels like you’re trying to slap something together to circumvent what I pointed out about a host being legally liable for what they host…

you would run filter tools to get rid of what might pass through the cracks (just like admins need to do now even on NSFW content free instances

What do you mean by “get rid of” that isn’t what you’re complaining admins do?

Like, I 100% get what you’re trying to say, explaining more in depth isn’t making a difference. I’m saying that what you’re suggesting doesn’t make sense, not that I just can’t understand it.

It doesn’t logically make sense.

Edit:

As a thought experiment the closest to what you want would be a centralized server that just has “placeholders”, I’m assuming you like crypto, so fuck it, we can make these block chains

Each placeholder only holds the location of the server of the account who made the post.

So when you browse, the place holder queries the account who made the post and serves it thru the client.

For comments you could have the person holding the post hold the placeholders for every comment, the comments themselves hosted by the account who made the comment.

That is feasible but there’s a lot of issues that’ll come up.

But I think that’s what you’re wanting, or at least something close to that and actually plausible. Anyway, this would result in every individual hosting their own content, and no one else being liable for anything someone else ever says/posts.

I will loose connection when they suddenly move

Unless…

I’d assume they’d just leave a last post saying:

This is where I am now

I honestly didn’t type that much, less than your reply actually…

But it’s ironic you complained about the length of a short comment, yet obviously didn’t read the majority of the comment.

Have a nice life bub, feel free to “follow” or not if you want, but don’t expect replys anymore

What?

You know an instance is like, a physical server…

Right?

Like, the only way what you’re saying makes sense, is if mods had to host their own communities. Someone has to host shit and be liable. Right now that’s instance admins. If they didn’t exist, you’re just calling whoever hosts and is liable a different name than admin, they still do the same thing.

You’re just zooming in another level on it. Nothing changes.

followers

Lol.

Buddy if I have any followers I’d be happy to leave them behind.

But I’m not into that twitter/Instagram/Tiktok nonsense.

If someone was, I’d assume they’d just leave a last post saying:

This is where I am now

They don’t need to jump instances if they’re federated, they just need to follow a new account.

Eh, I feel like the important part of decentralization right now is the potential to migrate.

Like, how many social media sites actually last 5 years before shitting the bed?

If admins of an instance get shitty, it’s trivial to move to a new one. Traditional social media you’d have to migrate to a completely different site, with different features, layout, and other stuff.

People won’t all wait for the same reason, as the biggest becomes actually “big” we’ll see them start to fracture.

There just wasn’t enough people on fediverse to start out like that.

So think of Blue sky, World, and all those other “big” instances that still don’t have that many users as the egg for the future fediverse that actually has enough users to be proper decentralized

I didn’t even notice this was c/Europe…

It’s a good article, just nothing to do with Europe.

OP should post to news or a US politics community

Crazy someone got it in a personal home.

I’ve always thought it was a side effect of some kind of bug malfunctioning if it was real.

Maybe that’s what it started out as, and now Russia is weaponizing the bug in their spy equipment.

Like that unpowered wooden seal that would bounce back audio if you blast it with ultrasound just right. If they do too much, it can effect people. So after finding out it can effect people… Russia being Russia is blasting people to cause harm

Lots of different things have been discovered.

Like, it was news when it was discovered we lived at the same time, it was news that we lived in the same place.

Now it’s news that we lived at the same place in the same time.

Later it’ll be news that we lived together with them not just next to each other.

That’s how science works. You prove something easy, then prove something a little harder as more evidence is discovered and research done.

We already “knew” it because we know interbreeding happened, but it’s not the same as finding evidence of them coexisting.

So you might also be remembering a hypothesis that is now being proven.

That’s why so much science sounds like it’s repetitive.

There’s a reason they started selling pans where a single scratch makes people replace them…

A lodge would last a century, probably longer unless you stored it in salt water.

Ironically the only reason Lodge can be as big as they are today, is most people don’t have a cast iron pan.

I got a big one and a small one. They’re awesome and highly recommended, but I’ll never ever need to buy from that company again now.

Huh?

Article talks about how men and women showed greater signs of malnourishment in the north than southern populations, then claim northern men were taller than southern because they had more food?

If that were true, then why did northern men show greater signs of malnutrition than the shorter Southern males?

What would make more sense is due to food shortages, those with higher levels of sexual dimorphism reproduced more.

Small women because they needed less resources, and larger males because they could claim more resources.

So even though people in the North werent getting enough resources, they were taller.

And that’s not even getting into all the other reasons that tall men and short women were selected for. It could have just been superficial preference over a couple of centuries.

There’s a ridiculous amount of factors that go into a single person’s height, talking about a population’s height over centuries is waaaaaay more complicated and has even more factors adding up over that time

I saw a graphic of how big the “blind spot” is in front of modern trucks and it was bigger than most giant construction equipment.

And that’s for an average height driver.

Most of the huge truck guys also happen to be well under the average height, so entire reasonable size cars disappear in front of them when they tailgate. They might see the roof, but they won’t see brake lights or taillights.

It’s flat out not safe for other people. Which is why we have people driving giant SUVs instead of minivans now. Which just makes it worse for everyone else.

Look at the Speaker votes. To agree on someone they had to pick someone that even most congress people hadn’t even heard of. Like a day after he won maga is mad at him for calling George Floyd a victim and already wanting to kick him out despite him supporting Trump’s insurrection

MAGA demands candidates agree with them 110%, non magas want to go back to passive evil that has plausible deniability. They’re both incredibly stubborn and while they won’t vote D, they’ll stay home or protest vote if it’s not their favorite candidate. If Trump is the candidate a significant amount of non trump Republicans won’t vote for him. If it’s anyone besides trump, the magas will still vote trump or just stay home.

On the democratic side a lot of voters really dont want Biden as their president, but will vote for him just to not get a Republican.

It’s a shitty political situation, but it’s unlikely to result in trump as president again.

Rational governments get that fossil fuels aren’t going anywhere, coal and oil will stay just where they like they have for longer than humans have been a thing.

Capitalist societies tho… private companies own those fossil fuels rights and they want to sell as much as they can for as long as they can.

We should be planning centuries in advance, not a financial quarter at a time.

On a national level there’s a lot of cheap places in sparsely populated areas. Just like the US.

England has some “country” but it’s a much smaller percentage so city prices aren’t offset as much.

Also be sure to be reasonable while discussing with other posters. Do not claim “they’re sockpuppets” or “they’re astroturfing in Lemmy” without having evidence for that. (And no, “chrust me” is NOT evidence.) Refer to rule #4.

This is an official warning.

It seemed pretty obvious, but if they read your post, theyd probably have realized it wouldn’t work.

This is an official warning.

FYI, they went straight back to it.

Calling him Kanye… again

Because they keep acting like it…

Why dismiss it outright?

Because I wouldn’t care even if I was still on reddit.

Whatever happened to ‘trust but verify’ ?

If you try to “verify” the ramblings of every person on the internet… you’re going to spend all your time going down rabbit holes.

You have to exercise a bit of selection in what’s worth “verifying” and a reddit conspiracy about the effectiveness of an air purifier isn’t high up on the list of what warrants attention.

Especially when the person claiming it is incredibly unhinged.

Try MySpace

Ok Kanye…

Making four posts in less than an hour and saying everyone who disagrees with you is a sockpuppet is definitely letting people know you’re the rational one.
