I’m fairly new and don’t 100% understand it yet, but instances are run on servers that require money. Are we heading towards seeing ads or subscriptions to raise funds instead of relying on donations to cover overhead?
Especially with the influx of new users. Hardware upgrades are needed.
Account one day old with the first comment being about how the Fediverse is fundamentally flawed and wrought with risk. Further general fear mongering and lack of understanding how the technology works.
Found the Reddit marketing team. Please be sure to pass on to spez our most sinsere get fucked sentiment.
Instead of having a technical and factual discussion about it, let’s instead attack people!
No one here needs your flavor of toxicity…
If you can’t attack the argument or idea, attacking the person to rub your ego is a pretty toxic and nonproductive thing to do.
It’s your choice to be offended and to respond aggressively instead of treating it as a discussion on how we can improve the platform, what deficiencies are concerning, and how those will affect the users and instance owners.
Oh please. Don’t try and play the victim card here. You roll into this place with clearly no understanding of the Fediverse or Federated services and general and start spewing hyperbole and engaging in general fear mongering.
Then you cry foul when you get called out on it. Don’t for a minute think your tired old cliche of making inflammatory statements then playing victim will wash for even one second.
M8, I’m not here to have slap fights with people like you.
You clearly are talking in bad faith, you claim I’m making inflammatory despite you failing, entirely, twice now, to attack my argument and not me.
And after pushing you to not be an ass, here you are again, being an ass. How about you try and engage on the topic, instead of stooping to interpersonal politics?
I have little idea, yeah, that’s why I’m actually talking about it to kick off some conversation that either shows me why/how I’m wrong or otherwise increases my understanding. You have done neither, you have no leg to stand on to complain there as you have done nothing about it.
I’m a professional in this space, and am speaking from my experience in the industry and with scaling applications. I have a basis of understanding to pull from, and am enjoying actual discussion with others not you. And have learned a lot from others who have expanded on my points, and corrected me where I’m wrong. Again, you have done none of this.
Perhaps you are unfamiliar with technical conversation and common discourse/argument? Because toxicity is not how you carry one on.
I’m talking in bad faith? Says the person who comes in swinging then instantly shifts to victim mode.
You didn’t have an idea, you had an accusation. That accusation was called out, slapped down and now you are trying to build some narrative about being some “poor defenseless commentary just looking to discussed and idea”. Bullshit!
I’m done with you. Truth is where it needs to be. Your attempt to slander the Fediverse failed. Learn to live with your failures.
