Downvotes ok? 🙂

Totally disagree, the more tech savvy can spin up their own single user instances if they want, be fully in control of their own content and participate just like anyone on any large instance bar being defederated. All for basically free

I am in the UK and that’s really useful to know. Thanks

Pihole my is choice too. It’s pretty good, but for some reason video ads still get through even off YouTube? Is it possible to block them?

Hasn’t caught on pfft dude why are you even replying when you clearly know nothing about the tech except for it’s bad for the planet we haven’t even got into how it could be powered with renewables (when its applied within a crypto currency that is)

Good day to you sir

Except it’s been around for decades and put to good use but you’ve only heard of it from crypto and are referring to crypto.

It’s a small foot print for a real user and expensive for bots who are generating enmasse. It worked on Windows 98 PCs so isn’t really an issue like you describe.

Have you heard of hashcash, it’s POW precursor to bitcoin. It stops spam, was originally developed for email but could be incorporated into Lemmy eventually on sign up. Principal is similar to what you suggest.

I think this is a feature, well the media aspect anyway. Immutable media. The rest can be developed on.

It’s nice-to-have if shit really did hit the fan economically and hyper inflation took over. Glad the hype is over though.

Quite similar games though from what I have read about starfield

There needs a new governing body similar to bitcoins, where decisions are made by admins on a democratic basis. Half yearly meetings etc.

I think decentralised IDs is a good idea, wouldn’t be too difficult to achieve, the donations should go into a larger pot and then split based on user size of instances to maintain them properly

have you tried the RSS feeds from Lemmy yet? I havent I was just wondering

There are a lot of bad teachers unfortunately

Maybe an unpopular opinion of mine, but I don’t mind downvotes, but there doesn’t need to be a calculation of the sum of the upvotes and downvotes imv. That way both are observable for the users. If something is unpopular, you can see it but it doesn’t affect its overall standing in post hierarchy, pretty sure this is how reddit used to be about a decade ago.

Downvoted for testing purposes, showing score Of 0 for this comment for me currently

If I self hosted my own Lemmy on my home server, just for myself and I posted / uploaded images on it, when another user from another instance views my image, they cache it, would this mean later down the line if I deleted to free up server space, if someone else on that instance was to come across my image after deletion, because it was previously cached, the image would still show?

Wondering if rolling storage is possible eventually, where an archive of posts older than 2 years is performed and data deleted.

People say Lemmy is too complicated for most people, well that’s probably a good thing as it naturally filters out the people who only want to incite anger for upvotes. There’s no love on Reddits main subreddits anymore

Also it’s not that hard to understand anyway.

I have never heard of someone call SQL squeal lmao, sequel or S Q L is all I have heard
