@feditips check out Raddle

@feditips@mstdn.social an obligatory "fuck tankies" comment here

@feditips wait now Reddit?!

@feditips Back to Usenet!

@feditips god i fucking hate tankies

@feditips

I think a site like Reddit can't easily be federated. It bills itself as the "front page of the internet" because it's an aggregator for people to find interesting topics. If you distribute this, there will be many "front pages", which makes the whole "aggregator" concept nonsensical.

And having one Reddit clone as the new "front page" where people use federation only to comment on that site seems to defy federation, too.

Reddit will be succeeded by another centralized service.

@feditips Thanks for that

which seems less problematic, though it mentions a cryptocurrency on its website

@feditips why don't use it?

@feditips thank you for sharing that about lemmy

@feditips Do you really want to take in the reddit users?

@feditips Seems a bit hyperbolic to say Reddit overcharging for API access is “self-destructing.”

@feditips lemmy's beehaw server is quite nice and avoids the tankie issues of the other servers

@feditips@mstdn.social You don't like them because they're Marxist-Leninists?

@feditips I don't get why it's a problem. The fact that main developers are problematic or not does not remotely impact the moderation policy of the instances and their problematic traits aren't impacting the code itself. Furthermore, bigotry is forbidden in the flagship instance and highlighted instance seems relatively safe.

@feditips What's wrong with lemi, like, the code itself? The devs, as you said on that thread, have lots of issues. However, is that a platform's fault? why not, like, just make our own instances or whatever, where that shit isn't allowed anywhere? If twitter would be open source tomorrow and would be implementing activity pub, hell yeah, I'm all for people making instances, tghough in practice mastodon has the most important features of twitter anyway, so yeah.

@feditips@mstdn.social imo the cryptocurrency situation is a non-issue, since it's an optional, disabled-by-default module for cardano tips.

@feditips Both of my attempts to sign up at Lemmy instances in the past have met with technical glitches, while Kbin worked on the first try. It does appear to federate smoothly with Lemmy instances, which I'm glad to see.

@feditips Ohhh didn't know about Kbin! 😮 interesting!

Also.... FIRST time i visit the site and boom i freaking love the fediverse

@feditips @acb Good to know. I could never get into Lemmy for whatever reason. It never appealed to me.

@feditips, I find https://tildes.net quite good in this vain and well thought through. But while FOSS it is (intentionally) not federated.
