Beehaw is looking to shut down and or completely defederate.

They already de-federated 447 instances, I doubt that will make much difference.

As someone who mostly likes those things, that does seem to be a big problem here.

Make each user function as an instance, to solve the mess of netsplits/defederation.

I can’t help, but I love that recycling thin clients is become more popular.

lemmy.basedcount.com and lemmy.dbzer0.com are both interesting.

It’s like people are taking the ideologies of the instance owners and labeling anyone in it to have the same ideologies. Where did this come from?

I generally agree, but hexbear exists mostly as a place where r/chapoTrapHouse users went after it got banned from reddit, so it tends to have a specific type of user. (not that I agree with de-federating them, despite not being exactly aligned with them politically)

Whatever’s cheapest lol

Set your default view to subscribed in user options to show only the sublemmys you are subscribed to.

You can change it in user settings.

I guess I can understand how some may be concerned about the latter happening, but given mastodon is open source a hidden algorithm isn’t really possible (barring some esoteric technique like code obfuscation)

No idea why you’re getting downvoted when lemmy uses an algorithm by default.

Mastodon is full of netsplits caused by instances de-federating at the whims of various local BOFH.

Most instances won’t be routing onion addresses, it will only work between instances that have it set up.

I think openwrt can do that. You would just put one of the radios (2.4 or 5ghz) into WAN, and the other into LAN.

Obviously that limits you to 2.4ghz speeds, if you want faster two routers back to back could maybe work.

I guess moving to lemmy was too much work.

I’d still consider them an overall force of good

Maybe rpi, but broadcom absolutely isn’t. They are one of the worst companies to work with in embedded.

Sell?

open source, preferably AGPL.

I love the chutzpah of it.

Creative commons isn’t a licence designed for code though, consider using the AGPL instead.
