i had this question a couple of days ago and today fell totally down the fuck spez rabbithole.

found myself on the main discord where the coordinators were talking to uruguay about doing the “u” after columbia (?) declined. guess hearing that, both uruguay and equador wanted in.

there was discussion of not stepping over the swiss flag in one of the letter because they were part of the coalition.

these folks are dedicated - many commented they hadn’t really slept since it went live. kudos to all of them for the passion they showed today.

tbh it was impressive and one of the best executed operations i’ve seen in a long time. very fun to see up close.

working for a global multinational company i only wish we were this efficient internally ❤️

i’d also be worried that some corp would try to take control of the centralized sso mechanism and thus control the user base. imho we must avoid the instinct to centralize anything.

but potentially maybe there’s a federated directory where people could register and be assigned a server to do load balancing to key problems like lemmy.ml are experiencing (?)

yeah agree with you here. i was explaining this concept to my other half who doesn’t understand tech but did say this approach makes a lot of sense.

i’m here with you!! want to see the whole reddit house burn to the ground. 🙌🏻

new refugee - hello and thank you for welcoming us 🙋🏻‍♀️ very first of what i’m sure will be many posts here in the fedverse. nice to meet you all!

reddit know the list of named 3p apps out there are. likely tens not hundreds.

they could have implemented an api management solution to charge those folks differently than what they charge a corporation training lllms.

i sell this solution to enterprises for a living and it’s not technically hard to implement. truly. thousands of companies large and small with fewer resources than reddit have done it.

reddit could have done it in less than a couple of hours and charged a fair rate to these developers while making bank on ai.

but no, spez the egocentric jackass chose this path instead.

corp controlled social media is both dangerous and toxic. the only way to fix this is to burn them to the ground so burn it we must.

deleting my reddit account & data on the 30th and watching the latest developments re: blackouts, communities going indefinitely dark even today … with excitement for the future.

would have never thought in just a week i couldn’t go from loving to loathing something so much.
