I really wish people would think a bit bigger. I hear "I don't want regular people here/it doesn't need to grow" all the time but don't you wonder how much better things would be if the average person wasn't constantly on a platform designed to enrage and exploit them?
Usernames are only unique within servers, just like with email addresses. there's only one john@gmail.com but john@yahoo.com is a different person
Then there should be a single unified sign up page that sends you to a random instance or something. You still need an easy onboarding process for less technical people
really annoying that they used that name but don't have the domain, lol
The problem is it takes time and money to do that, which you can't really get without some kind of structure. I've been wondering what a tech cooperative might look like lately. All the weight of a company like reddit, but owned by the users
It has failed with the demographic they were after, which is TikTok users lol
I really don't understand how people can't tell, I'm starting to wonder if it's a genetic thing like with cilantro.
And beyond, I imagine
Can't believe I never caught this lol
It is releasing its own federated protocol, seems like it does a lot more than activitypub. Your account identity is valid on any instance, for example
isn't that just the most recent el nino year?
