Probably another replay of the parable of the Nazi bar. But as the end of the article says, people who don’t want to hang out at the Nazi bar will just go elsewhere.
At least if things get to that point, we'll hopefully have had some time to really build up places for those people to go.
I was reading about this study some just the other day. Gotta say that I'm really intrigued by how it re-frames the generally accepted knowledge. I hope they're able to derive something testable from this.
I definitely wouldn't be surprised if there's a notable overlap there. Probably not a stretch to imagine that the technically-minded users would be more in tune with the protest.
I've noticed the same situation in some threads on my own instance too. But I'm under the impression that it might just be backlogged on the responsible instance that's supposed to send out the federated content. I've noticed this when just having my home feed set to New and then suddenly seeing like thirty posts from lemmy.world come across all at once with widely varied timestamps.
I suppose the best way to test if this is the case would be to note down any threads that are missing substantial amounts of comments on your local server and then check back with that thread periodically to see if and when they start to fill in.
Honestly this is the silver lining of Elon buying the company; endless entertainment from watching the smoldering wreck. I do feel bad for the folks that were actually getting value out of using Twitter before his acquisition, but it's fascinating to see Twitter constantly finding new ways to fail to meet everyone's already-low expectations.
Exactly. Rip the bandaid off and be honest instead of trying to gaslight everyone. Probably would've resulted in far fewer people checking out Fediverse alternatives.
That's the real killer for me. I didn't like Reddit's API business decision, but when they think they can just lie to everyone about the entire situation surrounding it that's what's getting me to nuke my accounts and ditch the platform completely.
Utterly disrespectful.
I had a strange issue where the Store interface couldn't be interacted with until I swapped to the Library and back again. I side-stepped the issue by just telling Steam to always open to the Library tab on launch which is honestly preferable behavior anyways.
Whoa, what a cool project! It seems like way more than I need for single-user purposes, but I've been relying on Moonlight, Sunshine, and Chiaki quite a lot more than I ever expected to since I ended up taking quite a liking to using the Steam Deck as a pseudo thin-client. Kind of the best of both worlds letting another machine do the heavy lifting somewhere else in the house, so any advancements in the local game streaming space are extremely welcome to see.
MGS3 is such an experience, enjoy it! It's remarkable how much depth got crammed in to the MGS games, even just in the codec calls alone.
I snagged a couple of VPS from Racknerd in the Black Friday sale. One of them became a home for my Mastodon instance and now the other gets my new Lemmy instance. No issues to speak of with them yet, so I'm perfectly happy with 'em.
In no way is the person you're responding to speaking defensively. They've discussed the reason why your extrapolation to a full-mesh connective worst-case scenario isn't based in the reality of how ActivityPub functions. But you don't seem to be willing to entertain the notion that the federation of any given action never exceeds the number of instances subscribed to the community that generated it.
Even should every instance subscribe to every community on every other instance, the recipient of a federated action doesn't turn around and rebroadcast that action back on to the network because it is not the authoritative host of that community. Therefore what this discussion is lacking is proof of where this exponential broadcast storm of federated actions comes from in your assertion.
