  • People who want near-perfect distribution of power often talk about the serverless model. It’s sounds like it might work for something like e-mail, but I don’t see how it’s possible for something like Lemmy. This comment it cached on every instance with one person who follows it.

    Atm, keeping Lemmy going for a couple of days might require 50 Gigabytes and lots of bandwidth. If you put that on a mobile phone, it’ll be a 50 Gig app, which will drain all your data in minutes.

    But I think chatboards work well with servers, so it doesn’t seem like a problem.


  • Having ‘no single source of truth’ is part of the joy.

    If you’re not happy with /r/cars moderators banning everyone who drives a Skoda, then you’re out of luck. Here in federation land, you can just go to a different lemmy.something/c/cars place.

    Of course you can still follow and interact with all the /c/cars communities from any Lemmy instance (and interact a little from Mastodon).
