  • If I understand it correctly it’s basically community to community federation, so when you subscribe to a community it also pushes other community posts it follows to your subscribed feed. Those posts would still show up as those other communities. A community becomes not just a place to post, but also as a curator that vouches for other communities as well. You could even potentially have a curate only community like a lemmy best community list to get newbies started, or category level communities.








  • The benefit is that you could have a distributed marketplace. Instead of having monopolies like steam where one company accumulates a bunch of power they can abuse you could have multiple small companies band together to support a common standard of ownership so you could buy from any company and all the companies supporting the standard would respect it. You could also tie it to a legal contract so it’s actually enforceable.

    Of course you could just do that with an centralized standard that’s backed by multiple companies too.







  • It adds even more auto formatting rules so you can basically stop thinking about formatting entirely. I used to be opinionated about formatting but now I just go with whatever prettier does. It’s not always the best but it’s consistent and it’s a big chunk of my brain I can free up for things that matter. It also formats things safely so you don’t run into those weird edge cases where semicolons matter if you choose to turn them off.
