Meh. These stats are so flawed. Its like 5 servers having most of the users.

Its like pretending we have this amazing distributed network when its actually extreamly centralized.

But im happy Lemmy is growing, its good.

Yeah. But its nice to have this platform. Its existence shows that people dont need big tech platforms to find eachother and communicate. Its not perfect but its a stepping stone and an inspiration for others. :)

I guess I need to check it out again. If that is true, its amazing.

I dont know. Not sure what can be improved, because that site keeps sending the majority of users to the large instances. Its against everything the fediverse was supposed to be. Decentralized. Not 5 instances having all users.

But whatever. Im happy on my smaller instance. :)

Unhealthy because there is no feeling of hope? I’m OK with that actually. Life is still alright. But I don’t think we actually can change anything important.

Yes, there are ebbs and flows. Sometimes bad people are in charge, sometimes good. And sure, sometimes some very charismatic person is also a good one, and manages to make things a bit better.

But the overall trend is not towards humanity being free of debt slavery, or wars, or greed and power.

Sure but do they matter?

Yeah ok, but… I really don’t think the billionaries in charge care if you vote with your little salaried forced job income… I think if you look at the perspective of having millions or billions, people’s actions don’t matter, like at all.

That site has no truth since people have to use their real names there.

Voting doesn’t work, they control the candidates. Money and power is what people like that want, and they get that in exchange for playing along.

We don’t have control of our world, we never did. Just distance yourself from the madness and embrace the good in the world. Focus on those things and it becomes your reality.

By changing the url manually to instances you know about?

I think something along the lines of showing most instances in the same page could be cool.

Because the fediverse is not about a single instance.

It was an attempt at humor. :)

Ok let me say it in a better way. People who work in IT do it because they like it. Many of the first world wide web pages or YouTube videos were made without anyone wanting any money for it. There was no profit motive or expectation whatsoever.

That’s why I thought it was funny to read how instance owners are doing labor without getting paid, as if that was the purpose of the instance. To get paid for running it.

To me that’s funny. It’s a bit like me painting a painting and putting it out there, and asking people to pay for my labor. The hours I spent making it. Because now the painting exists in the world. Who is gonna pay for it?

I believe instance admins are more than happy running the instance without profit motive. Because it’s nice to be part of giving something to a community of people.

I wish to get paid for my labor writing this comment.

185 comments are mine! :)

To the moon!

Also think about how many more lurkers there are. There are many more lurkers than people making posts and comments.
