Subscriptions yeah, you can download it with some settings and upload to a new account on most (all?) instances.

Comments tho I’m not sure what you mean. But I can’t think of any interpretation where you’d be able to migrate those.

People would just pool resources to store the content and would have control over what they decide to store on their servers but wouldn’t be able to influence the user experience because users would just be pulling content from all the servers.

How do you think they’d choose?

If no one is hosting a picture, or even a text post, how do they see it to decide if they want to host it?

And if it’s already there, why does it need someone else to host it?

It just can’t be both, and it kind of feels like you’re trying to slap something together to circumvent what I pointed out about a host being legally liable for what they host…

you would run filter tools to get rid of what might pass through the cracks (just like admins need to do now even on NSFW content free instances

What do you mean by “get rid of” that isn’t what you’re complaining admins do?

Like, I 100% get what you’re trying to say, explaining more in depth isn’t making a difference. I’m saying that what you’re suggesting doesn’t make sense, not that I just can’t understand it.

It doesn’t logically make sense.

Edit:

As a thought experiment the closest to what you want would be a centralized server that just has “placeholders”, I’m assuming you like crypto, so fuck it, we can make these block chains

Each placeholder only holds the location of the server of the account who made the post.

So when you browse, the place holder queries the account who made the post and serves it thru the client.

For comments you could have the person holding the post hold the placeholders for every comment, the comments themselves hosted by the account who made the comment.

That is feasible but there’s a lot of issues that’ll come up.

But I think that’s what you’re wanting, or at least something close to that and actually plausible. Anyway, this would result in every individual hosting their own content, and no one else being liable for anything someone else ever says/posts.

I will loose connection when they suddenly move

Unless…

I’d assume they’d just leave a last post saying:

This is where I am now

I honestly didn’t type that much, less than your reply actually…

But it’s ironic you complained about the length of a short comment, yet obviously didn’t read the majority of the comment.

Have a nice life bub, feel free to “follow” or not if you want, but don’t expect replys anymore

What?

You know an instance is like, a physical server…

Right?

Like, the only way what you’re saying makes sense, is if mods had to host their own communities. Someone has to host shit and be liable. Right now that’s instance admins. If they didn’t exist, you’re just calling whoever hosts and is liable a different name than admin, they still do the same thing.

You’re just zooming in another level on it. Nothing changes.

followers

Lol.

Buddy if I have any followers I’d be happy to leave them behind.

But I’m not into that twitter/Instagram/Tiktok nonsense.

If someone was, I’d assume they’d just leave a last post saying:

This is where I am now

They don’t need to jump instances if they’re federated, they just need to follow a new account.

Eh, I feel like the important part of decentralization right now is the potential to migrate.

Like, how many social media sites actually last 5 years before shitting the bed?

If admins of an instance get shitty, it’s trivial to move to a new one. Traditional social media you’d have to migrate to a completely different site, with different features, layout, and other stuff.

People won’t all wait for the same reason, as the biggest becomes actually “big” we’ll see them start to fracture.

There just wasn’t enough people on fediverse to start out like that.

So think of Blue sky, World, and all those other “big” instances that still don’t have that many users as the egg for the future fediverse that actually has enough users to be proper decentralized

What OP is talking about has been a thing since the 90s and even 80s and earlier with ex-military.

Move to a cheap country where your pension/disability/passive income/whatever makes you wealthy.

Originally places liked it because it was an influx in cash. But then it became too popular and they were gentrifying places to the point locals couldn’t afford to live and these leeches never worked.

It became big again with the internet when people became able to work and American job while overseas remotely. But by now most American companies just won’t pay American wages. If they wanted someone overseas they’d pay them the low wage they always do.

With those younger people they added the “temporary” because they say they’ll move back someday.

What you’re talking about (if the job is in that country) would be a migrant worker.

But they also don’t like that label, they think they’re better than it.

I’d love to see countries mark “expat” as an option on forms…

Just as a trap to filter them all out.

Make posts to them…

Lots of people browse by /all and /new because of lack of content.

Which means it’s relatively easy to get a sub to catch on

But you need to actually make posts so people see them. Try to space it out tho, 15 posts in 15 minutes will just get people to block it due to spam. A couple spaced out thru a day tho will start getting more interaction, go for quality not quantity and hope eventually other users start submitting stuff for the quantity part.

The scariest part of the last 3 elections is moderates still expect trump to follow the rules…

She ran the worst campaign you could run with the billion dollars and initial support she was gifted.

Biden’s was worse

It’s still Kamala’s fault she lost, but she wasn’t as bad as it could have been.

Requiem for a Dream

Trainspotting

It’s basically negligible tho.

Like I recently busted out Logitech mouse/keyboard combo with a dongle. They say for maybe five years and I’ve been using them for months now and the batteries are still what was in them.

I think that if people are randomly sending that shit to people they don’t know, all it means is they have mental health issues…

I’m not sure what else people would think about it, it’s obviously schizophrenic ramblings

She asked me twice whether I thought her stories sounded crazy, so she was clearly somewhat aware of her condition.

Not necessarily.

It’s very likely everyone in her life were telling her it’s all in her head, she gets mad and says she’s not crazy…

Then calls random repair people, tells them the story. And asks “am I crazy” because most businesses would never say that to a client. She was looking for validation, the same way people go fishing for compliments saying stuff like “I’m so bad at my job, I don’t know how you all put up with me”. Even if it’s true and they’re dead weight, most people will be polite and reassure them.

I just didn’t know how to deal with someone like that

Tell them that they should relay their concerns to a medical professional if they’re concerned.

If they’re seriously doubting their delusions, they’ll go get help and thank you for the advice.

More likely they’ll realize you’re not giving them what they want, get mad, and often blame you for being involved in the conspiracy.

But there’s a chance they actually get help.

Any kind of acceptance of their beliefs, no matter how tentative, reinforces it and drives them further into the delusion. Depending on how involved her family is, she might have called them immediately, and after cussing them out said even the plumber agrees she’s not crazy.

Deja Vu is just an error with how we save memories.

It skips working memory, short term memory, and goes straight into long term memory so everything we experience feels like we’re remembering it, but no matter how hard you try you can’t remember the future.

During certain recreational activities, it can last long enough to realize what’s happening. Normally you just get a brief moment of it till shit gets straightened out.

Less than that, especially in areas that used to be cheap.

It took less than 5 years for my decent sized house on almost an acre in a middle sized city to be less than a 2/2 apartment.

It’s fucking insane.

It comes down to if you rent.

If you have a fixed mortgage, shit gets easier fast. If you rent, any wage increases is often offset by rent increases.

Less people are able to save, because they never get out of those “tough first years” of a mortgage

There was corpo phrasing in that…

It was amount of gold equal to server time assuming all the gold was bought.

But mods would get a shit ton to give out. And towards the end when you got gold you got “coins” as well that could be used to give gold.

Like, say I want to make “Fun Time bucks” a thing. To drive adoption I’m going to give out free fun time bucks to everyone, they spend because it’s free, and people start seeing it as valid.

Reddit was pumping gold so people saw it and hopefully they bought it because they assumed everyone else was buying it. But most of it was “free” gold.

Probably all the ad tracking shit running in the background.

Not to mention the IPO has them cutting costs everywhere to make them look profitable.

I also wouldn’t put it past them to intentionally slow down people who aren’t logged in.
