My point is if you’re paying anyone, it should be the maintainers and members of an open source project. But I’ve seen people host many other high bandwidth things for free so who knows.

Technically literate people could host the relays.

1. better computer literacy is always better
2. mas adoption -> more contributing -> more features like “share with friends”

Watch it, bub!

Fuck you!

Okay I see now, that’s a good deal of nuance.

One more bad analogy, it’s like browsing private video game servers.

There’s several websites that host lists of Minecraft Servers, some are hidden from those lists due to various reasons.

A federated video game like VR Chat or Minecraft would be incredible. You could probably do that last one with a server plugin.

I like my instantce

Which server do you want to use is like asking “Do you want Gmail, Outlook or Yahoo for email?” it really isn’t that big of a deal, but maybe people these days have a hard time doing that too…

I think in terms of fedi, it’s fine. I mean plenty of people think Linus Torvold is an Ass, but we all love Linux for what it is.
