    Ditch the web interface in favor of native desktop apps. AI queries will be distributed among logged-in users’ PCs, turning the Lemmy user base into a distributed data center. Users will have post, comment, and vote rate limits tied to their computational contributions, incentivizing participation and the use of higher-end hardware.

    Since mobile users will have drastically reduced compute capabilities, they will contribute to the community differently: mobile apps will include telemetry and ads. Money raised from mobile ads will go directly to the Lemmy developers.
