PixelFed has increased the Fediverse's monthly active users by over 40% in the last few weeks, how do we feel?
-
This is a reasonable take but ngl still I'm still a little sus.
-
Honestly, no arguement here. I can't think of anything better so I'm unqualified regardless
-
An 'ideal' solution might require a complete redesign on how federation works.
Something like a more decentralised network where you don't have a 'home' instance.
An instance would be more like a relay into a 'core' network, and you could swap between them at any time.It'd probably require your account info to be public though, so passwords wouldn't be possible to implement in a foolproof way.
Instead of signing in, your device could generate a public/private keypair on signup.
The whole network would have your public key, and only content/actions that your device signs would be propagated on the network.Sorry, you probably don't care about my ideas lol. Just thinking out loud I guess.

fastest reply in tghe west
they tried that and without the centralised moderation it became racist very quickly https://aether.app/

Oh wow, those are cool. What a shame.
I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise that unmoderated communities attract the degenerates

Tbh I feel a little queasy about the change of tone but thats how it goes with influx of people. I‘ll keep my strict anti tech bro stance and will rapidly block any bigots as I always have. People can of course say and do what they please here and I‘m not gonna stop them. But i also am not forced to listen to it. Thats very incompatible to the outside world so clash is inevitable imho.
-
Me too. I can't find you on pixelfed?
-
I'll have to figure out how to link you, I don't have anything much there yet. Just 2 pictures. My name was lifeinmultiplec there as it chopped the name. I assume I need to give you an instance to find me though
-
Thanks, cool! I was able to start following you by searching for [email protected] in my instance. For some reason your pictures aren't showing up for me yet but maybe it will populate soon.

P.s I'm [email protected]
