I hope they start supporting people who want to run an indexer. Right now they just point to their source code and say, “if you can get this largely undocumented complex service running on your own, you can run a indexer, but don’t ask us for any help”.

I’m not entirely confident that it will happen before their only funding source decides to cut off the cash flow.

Interesting comments there. Thanks for the pointer!

This is great! Thanks!

there are distinct cultures between different instances and it is a strength of the Fediverse that instances are not just faceless pieces of infrastructure, i.e. pipes to content, but rather thriving communities with real people behind them.

Yeah, that deserves emphasis.

That instances are the interconnected nodes that make up the network.

I would even just use the word “parts” instead of “nodes”.

A bot shilling for Musk or a person shilling for Musk because they bought the hype are basically the same thing.

It’s the scale that changes. One bot can be replicated much easier than a human shill.

ZK-proofs

This is a solution in the same way that PGP-keys are a solution. There’s a big gulf between the theory and implementation.

That certainly doesn’t seem sustainable at all. You need to take care of yourself and I think you’re making a good decision.

Accounts in which authentication has been provided seems like a better measure.

Seems like a severe undercounting

How does that site count active accounts?

Discord and Reddit also had uniquely improved their UIs over the existing options.

I wanted to understand their perspective. But that doesn’t seem to be something they are willing to share in any more detail.

There was no implication being made.

What measure of difficulty of content discovery are you using to determine that it is difficult? What would not difficult content discovery be? What content is there is desired to be discovered What do you mean by, ‘there is no “why” here’?

I have many questions about how people perceive the current state of things and what they view as potential areas for improvement.

You’ve made an awful lot of bad assumptions about me based on a single question that you haven’t answered.

Seriously. What’s up? You’re responding with a great amount of negativity. You’ve accused me of gaslighting and being moronic with no provocation that would warrant either response.

I have presented no take.

Are you doing ok? What’s bothering you?

Why do you view these as issues to be overcome?

The peering agreements are based on network traffic of the customers. Passing through costs to customers is always a thing.

Peering agreements have been around for a long time on the internet, they’re part the backbone of the internet.

Peering agreements for internet traffic, what a stupid concept.

Doesn’t help that they have offered no explanation at all.
