  • You will sell for whatever buyers are ready to pay for it, buyers don’t need to know how much you’re losing to the agent, they want to know how much is coming out of their pockets and if they can afford the associated mortgage. People don’t sell their house to be charitable, they sell their house and try to maximize profit, if there’s less going to an agent it just means more going to the seller.

    Hell, just look at the prices on direct sales vs with agents, people always overestimate the value of their property when selling by themselves.
















  • The people currently doing the hosting would be the same ones doing the hosting (I’m not talking about every user hosting their own content), they just would choose to host NSFW content or not as they already do by choosing to allow NSFW communities on their instance or not (and would use the necessary tools to cleanup their storage of illegal content as they already do) and users who choose to activate NSFW content in their feed would do it at their own risk (which is pretty much already the case anyway because instances/communities with CSAM don’t get deleted/banned/defederated until someone does it, it’s just your/the other instance’s admin that’s doing it instead of you).



  • But other instances can choose to defederste from Mander so their users can’t post on Mander’s communities, it’s a two way street. Just the fact that it’s defederated from those two should make you understand that you as a user don’t control the content you have access to, an admin decided that threads and burggit would be inaccessible to you.

    The solution I’m talking about eliminates that completely, treat the hosting the same way any other website works (a bunch of servers hosting the data with redundancy, the difference being that it’s people like you and me providing the storage space instead of an all in one service like AWS), make access to that data open and let people create a UI for users. No more defederation or admins that hold power over all communities under the umbrella of an instance, just community mods and a website where users are the ones in control of their experience.


  • No it’s not, your instance of choice isn’t necessarily federated with 100% of all instances. The UI you’re using is loading the content that your instance gives you access to only. Example v I can’t see hexbear communities and they can’t see communities from my instance so the only place I can interact with hexbear users is if they comment on communities both our instances are federated with.
