How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse) écrit par Ploum, Lionel Dricot, ingénieur, écrivain de science-fiction, développeur de logiciels libres.
A warning and a perspective from an insider who has been through this before.
I sorta wish we could subscribe to federation endpoints the way we do to magazines. Then it won’t matter what is being federated overall. Hail the user, hail thyself!
Instances could do what Beehaw does and defed one direction but still allow their content to be seen by other instances. I think Meta could decide to defed and block that, if they wanted to, however. (Beehaw doesn’t seem to care if other instances see their content as long as they can control posts/comments on their end, which doesn’t bother me at all since it doesn’t effect me in any way. And I still get more content!)
I’m not on Facebook for a reason, I will never fed with meta.

I need to spend some time playing with KBin I like the bit I was testing but being able to share wtih Lemmy is so awesome.
Forgot I left those communities behind on Reddit. I hope there’s a new community here somewhere for anyone that needs it. 😈
