That works, until... Until the power goes out because everyone has their AC on maximum. After that, it becomes a fight of who has a bigger generator and more gas stored, or who has solar power for the AC.

Something like that already happened on Mastodon! Admins got together and marked instances as "bad". They made a list. And after a few months, everything went back to normal. This kind of self organization is normal on the fediverse.

Votes were just a number on reddit too... There was no magic behind them, and as Spez showed us multiple times: even reddit modified counts to make some posts tell something different.

And remember: reddit used to have a horde of bots just to become popular.

Everything on the internet is or can be fake!

Look normal? You have to look straight all the time, without moving much of your eyes (only your head)

Yeah, but now you're moving trust from the instance into trusting masto.host...

Would that be possible? How would other (normal network) instances federate with you?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

If you don't trust your admins, you can host your own instance. That way you'd control what is federated and with whom.

Buuut your server ip would be public, so idk...

Hello, I am a notification. Welcome.

Some of the issues might be on the software side, so it'll take some time until it can scale to more hardware resources. But yeah, I agree! What scares me more is the monetization path. Servers can become a really expensive.

It was late yesterday and I didn't realize I made it sound scary! Yes to all you said! The heatsink is a great idea, too.
