If I remember, I’m gonna look into that tomorrow when I’m not on a phone screen. Not that I could contribute anything, but this seems like a good opportunity to learn some advanced stuff. Thanks for your answer!

Damn, so many joins :/

How could this monster be optimized though?

Do they need to know?

I think this could be done with a simple if-statement

You’re right, I didn’t look at the usernames and thought you were op, arguing that we don’t need governments and can go back to tribes. Sorry :/

So you want to reduce humanity by 99%? Because hunter gatherer lifestyle isn’t sustainable with more than 100 million people.

Oh and you also want to go back to a life expectancy of 40 years, barely any useful medicine, exorbitant child mortality, countless women dying at birth and the constant fear that your surroundings will kill you.

Sounds great!

Ok thanks, I thought I didn’t understand some crucial point about federation or something.

The instance is behaving weird for some days and I wasn’t sure if it might be connect for lemmy. When I switch instances in the settings I get way more posts than when I’m on sh.itjust.works, which is weird when they are federated, right?

Also I get a lot of errors, like “comment can’t be found” when I’m trying to answer a thread or comment from another instance. I even had one situation where the comment I was trying to answer completely changed in the answer window, almost if there was some fuckup with the database.

I also can’t see nsfw posts and the defaults in the settings don’t have an effect anymore, so I always get “hot”, but I set it to “top”. I’m not sure if these bugs come from connect or the instance.

It won’t bring people, please read this: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

Federating will kill the tech though:

Big companies are actively harmful. Just read the example of xmpp and Google that is posted everywhere.

I don’t get how this is even a question. Most people are here because they want to get away from corporate social media. It’s like asking a person who managed to leave a cult if it was okay for them if they build a church on their plot.

Interesting. On connect they all show up as “last week”.

Yepp. But feelings don’t care about facts

People who claim that don’t mean literally work with smugglers. They mean, that efforts to save refugees encourages fleeing.

That’s about as logical as claiming ambulances are working with drug dealers when they try to save someone ODing.
