A part of this might be shared interes. The same people visit the same spaces.

See it as an opportunity to build tighter communities and friendships.

Thank you for this. I consider myself technical and those words felt like a punch in the gut.

Over time people from that initial spike realized that the platform isn’t what they expected/liked, some likely went back to their previous platform but i am going to be optimistic and say they moved to mastodon.

The climb we see now is fresh users that heard of lemmy and are now checking it out.

//This is how i read this graph, other interpretation may be possible, you can’t really know for certain without more data.

With “ideas” i am actually referencing any less then respect plans collecting data and monopolizing the fediverse meta may have.

I wouldn’t be supposed if meta wasn’t paying some in house developers to help work on the open source federation improvements only to in same breath ease in compatibility with their own systems.

If we’re not careful we might get properly invaded, meta will set the rules for the fediverse to follow. Independent communities that cant follow the same new protocols gets pushed out and will go extinct.

At least thats what i understood is the reason threads gets defederated, better to break up now that its small then to get consumed as it grows.

But i still hoped there could Be some safe doors and gateways in the middle.

Meta disgusts me but i cant lie and say the opportunity that my family may without me pushing much may join the fediverse on threads sounds much nicer then the status quo.

I am all for protecting the fediverse from metas ideas so i do support defediration.

With this transistive tool what happens if i am on my own instance, defederated from meta but i dont the transition and federate with a community that is federated with meta.

Could i see threads from my instance trough the federated one?

Is my own instance safe from meta?

Will transistive defederation mean others will automatically defederate with my instance because i federate with an instance that is federated with threads?

Oh fuck thats on lemmy, i thought it was reddit.

We gotta fix that, of course when a discussion gets out of control/racist we ought to lock it, maybe a warning and disclaimer. but i see no justification for fully removing these.

We Evolve!

There something really satisfying about witnessing a community starting to talk about serious a issue and days later see things already improved.

Lemmy is now the internet, glory to all volunteer devs. Lets make it the best place we possibly can!

Does this need to connect to openai or does it function fully independently? Its for offline use.

It works very different from how i would want it to work for sure. I specified internet technology for a reason though. The creative limit i put on myself is that all systems should remain fully independent with the exception of hardware requirements. Everything remains local for now.

I know, i specified “internet technology” for this reason.

I run a few websites and servers all of them are local only. Society can go to hell, my stuff isn’t relying on it.

I also use the internet of course but thats outside of my creative ventures.

This is precisely why my experiments with servers and internet technology stop whenever a dns is mentioned.

If i need to pay a subscription or otherwise rely on a centralized entity its not independent hosting and my interest in it disappears instantly.
