Federation made no sense to me either, but everyone just said to make an account somewhere and start using it. That’s what I did and, while I don’t pretend to understand the back end, the stuff I’m using makes perfect sense to me.
99% of us don't give a shit about federation. Just give me the memes!
After a few days you won’t even remember that there are different servers. It will feel like one.
That's the cool big idea in my eyes.
Like, you see a different thing after the @, but it's all in one place so it doesn't reeeeally matter.
That's what I keep saying. Stop trying to explain it. Just have them sign up and start consuming content. They'll get the basics by osmosis eventually
But then we end up with everyone on lemmy.world and kbin.social
Does that really matter, provided the servers don't melt?
Kind of, I know the lemmy.world guy was already well known to those into fedi, and Earnest has been very transparent with everything, but just in principle I'm a little cautious just because part of the advantage here is no central control.
Even if it never becomes about money, say someone gets hit by a bus, and whoever gains control either doesn't understand or can't cope with it and passes it on to someone else, or maybe even just shuts the whole thing down. I'm sure there are checks being put in place but I'd still hate to see some freak tragedy or something take out a good portion of the users and communities here. Even if the content would have still already federated out.
Yeah, lemmy.world got so popular for a reason and I trust Ruud. I see where you're coming from and don't disagree but you can't get too paranoid either, shit can always happen. I hope account migration (and maybe even mirroring/linking across instances) gets implemented eventually because that would really make the system bulletproof.
