It’s centralized and for-profit. They will have to do ads eventually or shut down.
That’s the user downvoting the copy of the post on their own instance. If OP doesn’t have downvotes then those votes won’t federate.
exactly. the only kind of self expression anyone needs is going on lemmy and making smug comments.
no they need it look it up
Is there crypto stuff in Firefox? Also I like the Pocket integration…
Not to people with a financial interest in promoting Monero.
This thread is a honeypot for annoying accounts to block
It’s not a single person instance either, it’s just using your own domain in your handle.
It’s a for profit company founded by jack dorsey and currently led by a cryptocurrency fanatic
The CEO comes from the world of crypto and it is a for profit company
Can you link to one of these other instances?
There is only one bluesky it’s literally centralized
I didn’t say extremist I said toxic but really anyone who’s poorly socialized will go where they’re allowed, which in Lemmy terms means general catch-all instances with loose moderation like .world and .ml.
If they choose to migrate to another instance, it will likely be a more extremist instance with poor moderation that has been significantly defederated.
In theory this is how it should work, but in practice the toxic people tend to move to general purpose more laissez-faire places like .world or .ml, which makes de-federating and cutting off 30% of all users a difficult decision for anyone trying to have a community.
The answer is less centralization, but that can’t be forced. beehaw.org (for example) made the decision to cut off .world and they are better for it. But they are a large-ish instance in their own right.
Exactly, it also means we can have different regions for different types of conversations, much like in the real world.
Why would someone who doesn’t like blocking and de-federation like “federated platforms”?
“You censored me for my opinion”
“What opinion was it?”
“…”
“What opinion was it Anakin?”
This is the first I’m hearing of any issue with it resembling a pentagram, the criticisms I’ve heard involve the design in general not looking professional, not scaling well, and lacking a unique palette.
This sucks (Was it really costing much money to run?) but as long as Firefox continues to work with full-flavor ublock I’m happy.
