@retr0id nah, decentralization is actually a good idea that proved itself many times while all alternatives to capitalism failed horribly and continue to do so.
The former is hard to convince due to ignorance, the latter due to knowledge/awareness, exactly the opposite.

@retr0id even on public posts? Shame, why?

@retr0id do you have an idea about why I can't open that post on your home instance? Seems to happen a lot with Pleroma lately.

@thor I don't think they did lol

@freemo as much as it's often true, memes like this are most often used by contrarians and conspiracy theorists who get off on their independent thinking (watching bullshit videos and reading bullshit blogs).

@LWFlouisa ah yes, the classic. Good luck with your search, I'm not familiar with Peertube instances.

@freemo @trinsec

@LWFlouisa @freemo @trinsec being an LGBT instance has little to do with being a totalitarian control freak and blocking non-transphobic people on guilty by association basis because their non-transphobic instance uses non-transphobic software, one of the developers of which is a supposed transphobe. For that you don't need to be LGBT, you need to be insane.

@freemo @LWFlouisa @trinsec is it a large group? Until now I thought it's mostly the few most extreme instances you wouldn't want to federate with anyway.

@Moon they partially cured my motion sickness. I was too focused on their… intensive taste to get sick or something like that. It's not preferable to motion sickness enough for me to intentionally buy them though.

"The version-less nature of the web" is responsible for a large portion of the absolute garbage we have to deal with today. It was a mistake, it was a null-level billion dollar mistake, it makes every design error made over the past 30 years permanent, and if that wasn't enough it makes keeping backwards-compat harder by forcing everyone to tiptoe around legacy bullshit.

Make versions. Allow them to actually improve the ecosystem instead of piling more trash on top of the already existing landfill. Allow past mistakes to be fixed. Allow browsers to run version-dependent parsers instead of sniffing around what they might expect or limiting themselves on a legacy quirk that stopped being used in the 90s when rendering modern pages.

The current system is not sustainable and the framework bloat is the direct result of just how unworkable it is for everything that isn't a page of formatted text with maybe some pictures sprinkled in occasionally.
