The Giving Tree

the WORLD…

You could have just said, “Why not both?” 😜

And from the photon’s perspective, it all happened in an instant 🤯

Agreed 🤝

Amazing. Thanks for sharing!

Diluting a community’s purpose for the sake of subscribers doesn’t result in a compelling community, imo.

I did. !streetwear@lemmy.world

I’m constantly on the verge of giving up on it because nobody posts except me 💀

Lemmy won but Reddit didn’t lose.

Lemmy culture was great during the initial exodus, but now sometimes I don’t feel like I belong here. On Reddit, you could often find your subculture. I want the fediverse to succeed tho.

I don’t really know the details of how “log in with your Google/Facebook account” works on other sites, but I imagine it’d work the same way. I’m no expert on this stuff tho.

Maybe look for a webapp and put a shortcut on her home screen?

It wouldn’t be centralized. There would be multiple instances and you’d choose which one to use to host your account.

I like your idea, though. It doesn’t solve the problem of moving your account from one Lemmy instance to another, for example, but it does reduce barriers to entry for other fediverse platforms.

Hmmm what if there was a new fediverse service dedicated to hosting fediverse accounts. You would choose an instance of that service to create an account and then use that account to register with a fediverse instance of Lemmy, Mastodon, etc. Kind of like you can login to various websites with your Google or Facebook account.

That would mean a single account could be used with any Fediverse service (Lemmy, Mastodon, etc.), all post history could be aggregated, and you could easily move from one instance to another.

Lemmy, Mastodon, etc., would have to be enhanced to accept this mode of registration of course.

It’s not essential for me that these different platforms talk to each other. A microblogging platform doesn’t need to (maybe even shouldn’t) integrate with a forum or vice versa. Each has its own role and muddying the water doesn’t bring any real benefit imo.

The fact that they are decentralized is what’s important and the fediverse makes that possible for all platforms built upon it.

Moving an account from one instance to another is a real issue though, I agree with you there. Defederation would become less of a problem if you could easily move your account (with its post history) and communities you moderate to an instance that aligns with what you’re looking for, assuming it exists. Ideally everyone would have their own personal instance, but that is probably not feasible for most people.

I hate to admit it, but I think you’re right on this.

Every generation has its psychopaths and psychopaths tend to pursue power. I wouldn’t put my hopes in millennials any more than in boomers. I’m happy to be wrong on this though.
