The way federation works, I would not ever rely on deleting things to actually work 100%.

1. It takes time to send the request out to everywhere that might have duplicated it.

2. The request may never be received.

3. Instances can ignore deletion requests even if they do get them.

4. Archival bots and even users can save it if they saw it and do not get any deletion requests.

Best practice anywhere on the internet is to simply not post anything you don’t expect to stay online forever.

The reviews are also a massive point, and would be inherently untrustworthy in a federated version.

The reviews on Amazon are so often very obviously bots, that they aren’t really trustworthy at all. What the hell is inherently untrustworthy about federation? 🤨

So… Postmates/Instacart but using activitypub for… Some reason?

I heard that he wrote that song after visiting an underground mall in Japan. How gnarly was that mall, that it made Jamaroquai write a song about technology being fucked up?

Just tell new users just sign up on your instance. Make it less confusing by sending them to a specific website and not just telling them about the software.

I swear to God, there are so many tech people here that overthink it because they know details that the average user would not give a single fuck about.

allows bot majority communities

Fucking why?

Also: Changing the definition of “free speech” doesn’t change how people will react to what you have to say. “Free speech” doesn’t mean “free to say things that piss people off without being kicked out of the group/location or beaten up.”

I’m just talking about the content in the case of Second Life. It’s distributed through BitTorrent, which was one of its selling points at launch.

Though at this point, it might have emulated servers as well.

What exactly are you wanting to host at home that you need super fast upload speeds, and how much traffic are you even expecting to see?

Second Life?

Everything is hosted locally and created by the players. It works on BitTorrent tech to send and receive the data of objects and shit.

There are also players run emulated servers for older MMOs like Ultima Online, EverQuest even WoW, making it somewhat decentralized. You’re not forced to actually subscribe to and play on the official servers (if they even still exist).

Yeah. Bit hard to switch messenger apps when they don’t talk to each other if nobody you’re talking to switches with you.

Uh… No? You get the exact same consumer protections, and you can actually do more with the business account than your standard home internet plan.

Get a business account with your ISP and get one of those weird plans that gives you more up speed than down speed.

I thought it was kinda weird that the WISP I worked for has even up and down speeds for most plans. Though they were also twice as expensive as Comcast, but if you were using the WISP it’s because you don’t really have access to anything else.
