it may be more comprehensive than trying to scrape other platforms, but the data that is available is absolutely nothing compared to what they collect on their own platforms. they’re almost certainly not very concerned with collecting our relatively mild amount of data.
take a look at The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber
while just looking at the scenario itself, that’s all pretty fair. but the company’s efforts to commoditize its labor directly brought that boring job into existence.
not that i don’t think you could ask about them here, but there are a number of self host communities that you should check out, here are two of the bigger ones:
i learned about GNU Taler the other day from one of the OS communities
hmm that sounds really interesting! if you end up remembering it and also remember to respond i’d love to know lol. yeah i hope if something good enough comes along two platforms will implement and then others will just follow suit.
that’s all very fair, i guess i was just hoping federation was at least on a long term roadmap
yeah, i agree that i don’t think federation of something like this would be through ActivityPub (matrix has its own). i guess it just feels unfortunate that if users want to access communities across multiple instances, users will have to have separate logins and identities for each one.
i looked into revolt and pretty concerned with these two stances of the project
We don’t think federation is beneficial to Revolt
We have a variety of monetisation ideas lined up internally, with these, it is not my intention for us to paywall features and I find it unlikely we would ever do that considering it would contradict what we’re trying to achieve.
like, to me it seems they want to get communities invested and then later monetize in ways those communities don’t yet know about?? idk that sounds extremely sus. especially when competing instances will fight against network effects with no federation.
from what i understand, the real world hybrid data is significantly worse than its WLTP test data. so much worse that it’s only a 25% improvement over petrol/diesel instead of the 75% improvement that would be expected given the WLTP.
just a reminder that IQ tests may have the goal of measuring intelligence, but that says nothing of their precision and accuracy
I wish we would just keep adding E’s so long threads would be REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
which also happens to be the noise I make when I see them.
we also live in a world which has now known that premise and used it for 300 years, which makes it seem much more trivial than it was at the time.
I think they’re referencing this song https://youtu.be/TMHCw3RqulY
the farmer saying he treats the animals like family, which one might imply means he treats them well. but his family has to secretly run away from him due to abuse (insinuated by the wife quickly leaving with the kids). this mean he probably also abuses the animals, which is opposite of the implied meaning.
we just need to make sure that we don’t rely on their instance(s) too heavily so we only have minimal losses when they eventually do drop support.
