I've used Matrix for months and agree with most points. I would like to try XMPP but it is clear that it does not have the best onboarding experience.
The problem I've observed with XMPP as an outsider is the lack of a standard. Each server or client has its own supported features and I'm not sure which one to choose.
It wasn't but now it does I guess. I just searched a community didn't existed locally on my instance and I got same result as you. No votes, no comments. I think this is enough to open an issue in the Lemmy repo.
Nice test! I’m a Tailscale user and I liked it being faster than others. I don’t care about memory usage but curious why there is a big gap 🤔 Like its using 20x more memory than Zerotier.
Its not exactly decentralized. Yes its splitted across several servers, but these servers still centralizes the users/data. In order for us to truly say decentralized, each user must keep their own data and no other authority should be able to interfere with this user's data.
I'm talking about possibilities. I get it. Domain could be blocked by registrar, host could be banned by hoster, IDK maybe he got DDOS.
But the thing is, what happened to the donation pages? Did everyone decided to ban this guy at the same time? Also he didn't even send a message about situation. Not on Lemmy, Matrix nor Reddit.
I shouldn't have been accused something like this tho. You are right about that. There is still a possibility that I'm pathetic :)
But if they really abandoned it as I said, then this is a stupidity of the admin. There will always be people to take over the instance. Why would you directly abandon 3.5k users? Like I'm hosting a instance with only 5 people in, I would never abandon it without notice. It should have been established from start I guess.
All I said above are valid if admin really abandoned it BTW.
Rust? eww 🤮. Someone should rewrite it in Java(!)
