Lemmy.World

I thought the point of a fediverse was distribution making it so that no one site becomes death star sized. If one site has ALL the biggest communities… What happens if that site goes down? Shouldn’t each site that wants one have a “Tech” community, and then those get aggregated into Tech? Wouldn’t that be a better approach? Doesn’t it make more sense that no one site has so many users the server can’t handle the load (been waiting for over a week for subscriptions on lemmy.ml to complete). Before someone feels the need to explain to me what they think a federation is, I’ve taught the subject. The point I’m trying to make is… Why do we keep pretending that being the biggest is a benefit, when it is directly detrimental to the architecture that we are using? #justanotheridiot #whatdontiget #federationday

P.S. before anybody goes out of their way to be offended, my hash tags are an attempt at self deprecating humor.

Not sure if this is the forums for this. Just requesting to Federate. It looks like you run a busy board so I understand if this is a big ask at the moment.

I am currently working to set up multiple Fediverse sites. I am tired of sites that establish themselves on the backs of a userbase turning on that userbase. I just don't trust "them" with my data anymore. I've built an owncast, pixelfed, lemmy, and mastodon sites as of the publishing of this. I'm going to add a PeerTube site in the coming days. I'll record my #boomer_shooter streams, edit them, and post them there. I'm tired of having to count on Social Media sites that have their own best interest at heart. And they should, that's the business model they have to abide by when they have shareholders. I'll be a 100% share holder in my sites... So, my rules.
