i wasnt referring to bluesky. i never would, that shit sucks. its just another walled garden.

i meant the whole ‘look lets do it like this app currently is, cept not lemmy.world!’

maybe try microdosing instead of eatin the whole bag

hahah lets have a centralized app… but not like that!

kinda proving the reason right there… who gets to be ‘default’?

it definitely feels more community-oriented with the lack of comment bots/ads. the ability for a group to just pick up and move should moderation get stupid has been proven and its just amazing seeing users working together towards a common goal as well as having the ability to achieve that goal without having to make new accounts anywhere. beautiful!

a domain name is just a logical construct to route traffic. it can be used for whatever as long as your application/routing stack can handle the host names. so, basically, anything goes.

to me, this goes to instance management and how its not just a setup and walk away thing. if youre going to manage an instance part of your administrative duties is to presub to the most active communities for your users to have easy access. there are several methods to achieve this using bots or whatnot.

its too bad too with the recent reddit activity.

i agree on bluesky. its just another walled garden with a few extra features.

as for loops… id say its too early in its development, then, to be included in infographics depicting federating platforms. its lying to new users about what its capable now. if/when he ever gets federation implemented, then we can update literature.

im very confused why everyone wants to market a product that cant yet do the core thing we are all here for. there is zero reason to include it right now.

i just saw a couple places where he shit on people building 3rd party apps against its undocumented public api. hes not exactly the greatest person based on his public comments.

im happy there is a tiktok replacement.

i dont think non-federating tiktok clone belongs in federating publications any more than tiktok does.

right so theyve said for _ 8_+ months now.

im sick of seeing it included in fediverse projects when it still doesnt actually do any federating and everyone keeps sayin, ‘just wait, theyre working on it!’.

bullshit. ill believe it when i see it, and it shouldnt be included in any fediverse topics until it does so… not because ‘it might’

loops doesnt federate with anything. doesnt even allow 3rd party apps. its marketing dept is more capable (re annoying) than its devs.

it does. as an mbin cheerleader, its heartwarming to see the disparate AP based servers communicating with my server. lemmy/friendica/mastodon etc… knowing that no entity could control all those products. the key of course is the protocol and maintaining ActivityPub as functional, standardized service.

im a big fan of not marketing your product until it can do the things you intend. theyve been spamming loops everywhere for over 6 months.

loops doesnt federate. why is it there?

no mbin (interstellar)?

i think the content and the ‘home base instance’ can be completely separate. its all about what they would choose to subscribe to.

theoretically you could be on lemmy.world and not subscribe to or access any of its local content. conversely, an ‘onramp’ instance might not have much of any local content but have access to hundreds of remote instances. (mine for example)

it can be kind of confusing for new users.

holy cow! ive seen some trolls, but this one is off the charts

sounds like you just hate humanity.

reddit , and all social media are just a reflection of the underlying humans. expecting some different behavior because of the medium is irrational. expecting that technology will curb the unseemly parts of humanity, also irrational.

all you can do is be the change you want to see.

i dont get it. i subscribe to a bunch of shit. i browse newest on my subscribed. done.

if i want to be exposed to new (unsubscribed) shit, i browse all/newest

i personally wouldnt benefit from any of your suggestions. maybe others would

this is the way.

small instances that can have niche content, owned and operated by those users (think beehaw) but with the ability to consume/interact with content from the rest of the fediverse (onramping).
