I used to run arch but then went back to Ubuntu. Arch is a good operating system. Don't get me wrong. My system has been borked a few times because of arch maintainers and not my own actions.
the at protocol is federated under the hood. they just use data brokers so it's more centralized, but it's still decentralized in that you can run your own data broker and communicate with the network. i feel like they get the best of both worlds
lemmy.world is a server. When you post to communities on lemmy.world, each user that has an account on a different server that is watching that community gets a copy
People over complicate federation. I write federated software so lemme break it down. Federation just means data sharing. When you post something on a federation enabled website it sends a copy of your post to everyone who follows you and tells their service to store your data in their database in addition to their own data. What this means is that you can't just blow up a server to shut it down because everyone in the game has a copy.
love the image
This is my biggest fear. The hidden weakness of the fediverse is that the largest implementation gets to set the rules of federation
Self imposed gatekeeping. Damn that's real

ratsite
oof this is too real lol
I've seen people talk this way about lemmy on a kbin magazine heh
this is one thing I feel like bluesky got right. it's decentralized but "feels" like a monolith
What's a modlog?
Wagner.ml

Kbin has features around filtering and sorting built into the engine that you can't fix with a Lemmy reskin. I know this because I wrote one lol
Kbin is a good ui. Lemmy has good data.
