I like these federated services being kinda "rough around the edges" (programming.dev)

In part because it reminds me a bit of the old internet, with stuff being spread around everywhere.

Being "harder"* to understand than reddit, twitter or other big companies' services is also a good thing, because people should remember that they have a brain and they should use it.

  • "harder" because not everyone understands the fediverse right away, since usability is extremely similar

Yes that's an annoyance but I would expect support for that in the medium term.

I made an account on a separate server just to test and it does indeed perform tons better. Just sucks there isn’t some way to “own” your user and download like a fingerprint of it on demand from a server, so you could easily transfer yourself somewhere else.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
