I'm ticklish there!

"bOtH sIdEs!&#!" garbage.
Edit: This is really, really just garbage. Any democrats in there should be prosecuted. I have yet to see anyone to the left of maga say otherwise, including the center right dems.
This isn't a lefty meme. This is maga shit posting posing as lefty shit posting.
Its a disappointment at best.
I think it means we like to be able to make full use...
Whether its a couple of servers with 4416+'s with 128GB ram and a pair of rtx 6000s or an 11yr old thinkpad w/8GB ram, its not the OS getting in my way.
It is very odd that anyone would place such limits on functionality on an internet-bound platform.
And a federated one at that! Creating silos like this is... Counter intuitive.
I'm having trouble understanding if this person is representative of flohmarkt or not, but either way, I don't think they understand any of our questions or arguments.
They admin slrpnk.net, no idea of their involvement with flohmarkt.
I think its safe to say they don't understand or don't care about any concerns though, agreed.
It is a good design goal to foster decentralisation.
Its a shitty design that fosters silos.
And please stop demeaning yourself as a user. Are you a drug addict or what?
Stop being an asshole. I'm explaining a position and a use case, which is used for good software design.
This is a shit design. Many others have said the same and expressed their concern. You have decided to act like an asshole for no reason while I tried to explain why its a problematic design. You do that from a user perspective.
There is zero reason for you to suddenly behave like a rotten kid who was just told his toy wasn't made well. Grow the fuck up.
Ok, now you're just being an asshole rather than understanding why its a design problem.
We are absolutely done with this conversation now. Goodbye.
So what I'm reading is basically:
All the people who would like to use flohmarkt but can't today can shut up or set up a server.
That is a really shitty answer.
There is no distinction between users and admins.
I'm sorry, but this is an absolute horror show of a sentence.
You can set up your own instance if you feel like there is a demand for it in your city.
Why would I need a whole new instance for that? What benefit is there to locking an instance to a region rather than a listing to a region?
Its not a technical limitation. Its not even a functional limitation for the trade or sale of someone's stuff.
What happens when that server owner changes their region that they live?
Do you expect each person to stand up their own instance?
How do I, as a user, and lets assume I don't have the technical ability or the infrastructure necessary to support standing up my own instance, use flohmarkt in the United States?
What technical reason is there for this limitation?
What functional reason is there for this limitation?
Please explain to me how I, as a user in the United States, can use flohmarkt, with the current servers available and online today.
Yes you need an account from the specific Mastodon instance to post on that Mastodon instance.
That was a Lemmy comment, but my mastadon post goes to all mastodon instances, regardless of region. Filtering or subscription is by hashtag or user. I do not get region-locked by my server to make a post, to read a post, to interact with a post.
But anyways, that is besides the point. A classified listing is by design lioation specific. All your argument seems to boil down to is that you are annoyed that you don’t have centralized accounts to log into different classified pages 🤷
No, that is not my complaint.
I, as a user, cannot use this solution. I have no way to use it, as a user, because the server determines region, not the user. I, as a user, have no way to interact with flohmarkt or my local or regional community, for reasons of a design decision that is not relevant in any way to a user or a listing.
I, as a user, can't use flohmarkt, because the design of it does not allow me to. An arbitrary, unnecessary, forced limitation. Simple as that.
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!
