Sure, but the type of people looking to use federated selling platforms are unlikely to want to use something like Stripe

Ideas are cheap. This is the third post like this I’ve seen in two weeks. Build it.

Even trolls, Nazis and other actively malicious people?

Well yes, the visibility thing would be the point. Interesting and relevant content is upvoted, becoming more visible to more people, and uninteresting and irrelevant content is downvoted, becoming less visible and shown to fewer people.

The first isn’t really interesting, and the second is clickbait. I wouldn’t say there is no reason for downvoting them.

If you can identify all of their instances, yes.

Yes, that’s happened before. They were sending a very large number of votes, so it was immediately obvious. Even a couple dozen from an unknown instance will be noticed, when an admin sees it and says “huh I haven’t heard of that instance” and when they look there’s nothing there.

Yes, only 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:ffff:2e04:fe90. Simple!

Well, Postel has been dead since 1998 and Mills since 2010, so I don’t think they’re included in people still in control. So they’ve got that going for them, which is nice, I guess.

There is a business layer of middle-men who do not need to exist.

ICANN is in the business of running the Internet, not fielding tech support calls from Jones’ BBQ and Foot Massage. I’m fine with this layer of separation. Hell, if it was one massive company controlling all the domains worldwide, wouldn’t that monopoly be an order of magnitude worse?

You don’t have to! You can run a DNS server out of your house and host any and all domain names you can think of!

Of course, nobody but you will use it, but it’s the principle of the thing, right?

It is.

Of course there are alternatives if you give up using the host header, like routing by URL. But that’s difficult when the URL is encrypted, meaning SSL has to be terminated at the proxy.

For microblogging, platforms like Mastodon with large instances. For long form blogging, there aren’t any major platforms or instances yet. Discovery happens the old fashioned way with links.

Yeah, over stuff like what to have for dinner. Not whether some people don’t deserve human rights.

And let me make this perfectly clear: all people deserve human rights.

But you like awards? What’s the difference?

Use the crosspost function for that. All the clients I’ve used have supported it.

Assuming you’re posting to Lemmy, anyway. If not, you want to hit the fediverse button (rainbow network icon) first, then share that URL. At least that’s how you do it in the default web client, yours may be different.

That means if it’s a YouTube video, post the link to YouTube, not invidious or peertube or whatever. If the client wants to load YouTube in the browser, or the app, or revanced, or newpipe, or whatever, let them do that themselves.

Just post the canonical link and let the client handle it.
