This is my biggest fear. The hidden weakness of the fediverse is that the largest implementation gets to set the rules of federation
Self imposed gatekeeping. Damn that’s real

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is Lemmy more likely to succeed than Voat? Why or why not?
4·3 years agoPeople over complicate federation. I write federated software so lemme break it down. Federation just means data sharing. When you post something on a federation enabled website it sends a copy of your post to everyone who follows you and tells their service to store your data in their database in addition to their own data. What this means is that you can’t just blow up a server to shut it down because everyone in the game has a copy.

5·3 years agoI use the micro blogging feature inside magazines where I’m asking for help that doesn’t require a link to anything. It acts like a standard forum in that mode

8·3 years agoI realized why I like kbin more while I was writing a front end for Lemmy. On Lemmy you have very limited control over filtering and sorting e.g
“Top” granularity is only at the day level whereas in kbin you can do hours. Lemmy only has a single “hotness” filter whereas kbin has the same granularity for hotness as it does top.
Race conditions are the worst

I’ve been using Linux for over 25 years but I hate using it as desktop. Wsl provides a nice environment for development and app running in a Linux environment without sacrificing the manifold reasons for running windows. Since wsl2 Linux gui programs even run natively without having to install an x server
I was recently diagnosed with a personality disorder. High emotion is a symptom. Might want to talk to a psychologist
