There's another one: access to media while in poverty

Haven't seen that one on ublock origin + Firefox

Edit: sent from Sync for Lemmy

Wait what, you already got a prototype up and running? :o

I know we all dream of having all our friends and family on the Fediverse

I honestly have to say that this isn't remotely part of my dream. I couldn't care less about the friends and families that are using facebook. They can contact me over E-Mail or over my phone. If they want to stay in touch even more, come join Discord or leave it be, simple as that.

If it wasn't for those alternative social media, I wouldn't even use social media at all.

Am I in the minority for thinking like that?

You should stop refering to middle school biology and check out university biology. And maybe also stop refering to outdated knowledge that's been disproven.

I will likely go where Reddit Sync goes. I don't really mind if the content here isn't as vast as on Reddit, if I have Sync I have all that I need

Immediate comments without needing to refresh. Things are just immediately showing up, which makes it feel so alive

I'm glad you moved away from AWS, I wouldn't even consider going for VM hosting and would've gone dedicated from the get go (or even self-hosting on a colo / using a good fiber connection at home, but I guess I live in a super privileged country when it comes to ISPs).

Isn't k8s a bit overkill tho? Front-loaded caching seems to make sense, but a single 10gbit dedi could probably resolve the issue easier and simpler, couldn't it?

That'd have to be finetuned in the lemmy code and rolled out with a new version. Also, those algorithms are insanely complex, companies earn billions over those pieces of code.

Nevertheless, I'm certain someone's already working on it cause open source rocks

just defederate. We'll just have our own Fediverse with blackjack and hookers lol

Just to add some more background on this: I used to work tightly with the Network Team in the website team of the biggest contender in its market (can't disclose which one without people figuring out the company since the market is a bit niche).

We had 20'000 Users a day with a lot of images served.

The whole infrastructure consisted of 2 Firewall servers and the main DB (pSQL) on 2 self-hosted servers (think colo, it was sitting in a very remote location with 2 big diesel generators that would've ran the whole datacenter for a week iirc), with 14 Hetzner backend mirrors who ran the whole PHP code, served images and the angular + some weird custom Javascript. Scaling was done by simply throwing more Hetzners at it.

Given that Lemmy runs super performance efficient in comparison to 20 year deprecated PHP code that held together with ducttape, I feel like much less could make it work.

I don't wanna be that kinda person, but it's possible the owner had some visitation from the local authorities. It's not uncommon to use a server for multiple things, and I could imagine that there might have been some... not so cool things on there

Yeah, everyone from another instance can downvote things on our communities but we can't, neither on our communities nor on others

Sync might come to Lemmy, the dev has mentioned it being a possibility on the redditsync subreddit

The 2 day window might at least show that there's a definite interest to join a protest from a wide array of the community. I see it as a warning, meaning if the changes aren't being reversed, there's going to be a lot more communities going dark forever then there is now.

Moderation's gonna be really interesting. I wonder how many "join Lemmy" gifs someone could post there

Nope, you just personally don't see them anymore

Meanwhile I'm sitting on Estradiol Hemihydrate

I think I should feel incredibly privileged? idk I'm not a biochemist haha

//edit oh wait we're talking injectable, nevermind

Just don't move to the kbin.social instance, I'm already starting to get worried since it's an absolute monopoly castle on kbin

Server perfomance is also a big plus. Even on some of the other, smaller, more IT driven instances I experienced way more lag then here
