Anticompetitive practices shouldn’t be this mainstream and obvious

Thanks for sharing, I had no idea there was a messaging format like XMPP

That’s a really cool idea!

He’s gotta wait for one of his real users to post it to twitter

At payment wait staff will tip the customer. Whoever tipped highest wins bourgeois status for the day.

Agreed but the same benefits as a full time employee would be a start.

It’s gotten worse very recently. Agreed they are usually on top of complaints. Keep in mind Amazon charges third party sellers a ton and passes the fees on to us, so they can afford a refund here and there.

Like all companies they’re shifting to shaft the user.

I saw a trailer for it while watching spiderverse. Spiderverse is amazing btw

This one’s just a bit of nostalgia from the slavery days for them.

It’s important to identify these arbitrary lines in the sand, thanks.

I thought I had cringe resistance.

I’m really glad people are approaching topics like this. I think the way cryptocurrencies are issued and implemented right now is completely toxic. Even mainstream ones like Bitcoin and ethereum encourage massive electrical use and pollution.

I would add that doesn’t mean they should be outright dismissed as the novel invention that they were. The right implementation or version of crypto could be right around the corner, and I think it would be close minded to just dismiss without considering whether we’re adding something of value to the fediverse.

I had a similar thought I’ve been mulling with giving each server their own unique currency that would function like server “equity.” Voting on moderation, federation, etc could be handled through it.

If a server elects to, they could ask users to “buy in” to a server at registration. This could help cover hosting costs while still giving the user something.

He said it, smiling maniacly as the interviewer clawed at his hands around her throat.

I had an idea that servers could issue out “equity” or voting shares. Decisions like moderation teams, federation, or other choices could be voted on based on users stake.

These shares could have other uses as well.

We could’ve drone striked Putin a bajillion times by now

I’m curious - why does each instance have its own copy of each others content? isn’t that going to cause a ton of bloat over time?

Sometimes always never commit fully to something in most cases

Oh great thats really helpful. Thanks!

I think it would be really nice to have a “fediverse map” for each server, to show where they’re connected to and what instances are endorsed back.

Would make finding new servers/communities easier too
