It's just a repeating cycle. Anyone making edgy commentary about decentralization was not around in the 90s. We think the shittification was caused by corporations, but corporations are just out to make money. Since we all need our 401k's to grow, I find it insane more people don't understand we're all just playing ourselves.

The real problem going forward is how EVERY FUCKING LITTLE THING becomes a political minefield; totally devoid of any real, meaningful contribution to humanity.

Christ, I honestly can't keep up anymore. What is a tankie? Am I woke enough? Should I like soy? Can I eat meat? Are electric cars bad?

I care deeply about other people and who they are as individuals, but I am starting to lose faith in our ability to create communities that can do anything but fight with eachother about what's best for everyone.

Alternative title: CEO of failing company makes shocking statement in order to attract investors.

He might believe this but developers aren’t going anywhere. Development is just becoming more abstract. This has happened in fits since forever.

In the main search you have to scroll to the bottom for community results AND the results are asynchronous, meaning they will populate slowly and get added on your results page as remote servers return. Sometimes it can take 30 seconds or more. :(

I’d like to see or make a tool that measures “federation” quality.

Lots of servers are locally responsive, but lag or completely fail posting to remote servers or accepting remote requests.

How can i participate in a conversation when half of the instances are hours behind or may not get my comments at all :(

This seems to be a combination of software and load and it is very insidious because it doesn’t affect local functionality so admins that don’t care or check think their communities are just fine.

It’s not great but it does have the data.

For whatever reason, I couldn’t get deletion to work on sh.it.works either. Not sure if technical problem or by design.

Hot and negative connect your light bulb’s electrons to the generator. The generator moves the electrons back and forth and that makes your light bulb glow. Ground is a place for electrons to go if there’s extra.

I think you should watch some YouTube on AC vs DC. I think when you say neutral, you mean ground (the bottom pin on the outlet.)

Isn’t it only if you have something configured in display name?

It’s not just a bug in the code. There are some scalability issues at play. Federation breaks silently (as in the user experience doesn’t change) under heavy load. Lemmy.world came up with a solution, but Lemmy.ml has yet to do anything. Upgrading helps with similar and other issues but doesn’t completely solve the servers being overwhelmed.

Correct. All also includes communities fetched but not subscribed to, however these are more like stubs. They are in your database but not being updated with activity since no one is subscribed. At least that’s my understanding.
