The math that underpins large networked systems isn’t something you can disagree with. Smaller in those kinds of systems are always less sustainable. Instance level moderation choices like defederation have directly contributed to the balkanization (you can agree or disagree with if it’s a good thing to do so; the preference make no difference) of the Lemmy chunk of the fediverse.

Smaller, less networked systems are more unstable and less sustainable. Period.

It’s got nothing whatsoever to do with what I want.

It only has to do with the math of how large networked systems function.

Right now the fediverse is unstable and unsustainable. balkanization is a huge contributing factor.

It’s not a preference thing. If you want the fediverse to survive we all need it to be bigger and balkanization prohibits that

I’m just going to restart my point for clarity.

Any barriers to bringing on users into the fediverse at any level is destructive to the future survival of the fediverse. This is specifically an issue that came up during any of the waves of migration we see from the bad place.

At various times there have been bans, both temp and outright, for all kinds of reasons, for both agreeable and disagreeable reasons, but regardless the impact is destructive to the fediverse.

Social networks thrive on users and through scaling aquire different properties. It’s more about the math of what it takes to keep a stable network and there is no getting around that. The “come one come all” approach things like the bad place use allows them to capture that kind of growth and without it, it’s just not possible to have the kind of detailed and varied and populated network you would get otherwise.

There have been specific moderation choices that have significantly curtailed and hurt the growth of the fediverse on all sides. Defederation is a huge one. Overly dogmatic moderation is another.

Like I agree that I don’t want tankies content or their spam, but realistically the “tankie”-verse versus the rest-of-us-verse has crippled the projects growth.

No. It’s not. That would be hyper destructive to any chances the fediverse has of surviving.

No turning back

Networks are almost always about quantity over quality.

I said it then and I’ll say it again.

his neck just did that.

In this economy?!?!

reaIIy?

But all of them were deceived

For another leches had been made…

Discover that 3d printing can’t meet the precision requirements and cast metal won’t meet the mechnaical requirements, gear shears, make peace with your fate, fall from sky onto local orphanage’s annual puppy adoption drive.

Bold assumption to make that a home-jobber would get you up into the sky.

Even the pulltabs?

😢

I thought a quickpick was always a dollar. Obviously most people do more than 1 quickpick.

Then of course dollar scratchers and pull tabs.

Or has its roots in collaboration the National Socialists of 1930’s Germany with a certain Haavara agreement, which would eventually result in the modern state if Israel…

Sound like enough money for 11 more lotto tickets.

Also, does this thing like, never go on sale?
