  • You suggested them to read Nietzsche and from it you got he mourns the decline of religion through all of his works? Maybe you should also get a re-read.

    The decline of religion is stated as a fact, killed by men’s rationality and evolution. As any evolution it has opportunities and risks, in this case the bigger risk is the loss of morality.

    But the only thing he clearly advocates for is overcoming religion and God because they are not needed anymore. The new Man should make its own meaning and rules.

    It’s the whole concept of the übermensch which is the single central point of his all system.

    The quote is not supposed to be his opinion (not directly at least), it’s a character in a story.

    It’s like taking the stance of Cephalus in the Plato’s Republic and say it’s Plato’s opinion, while it’s clearly just a tool to let Socrates speak.



  • There are a few technical problems with that. First of all, the cost of each instance would become quickly unbearable since everyone has all the duplicated data.

    Second problem, a malign entity could just come, create its own instance, spam everything and everyone with ads or whatever and suddenly every instance is full of that stuff. Also, how do you handle defederating in that case?

    What has been proposed before instead was to make some kind of mega communities that gather all posts from communities with the same name across instances




  • Can somebody explain me exactly how defederating them would give us a different outcome?

    I’m genuinely curious.

    Meta couldn’t give less fucks about 100k users on lemmy, they are targeting people that isn’t and will never use nor understand what the fediverse is.

    You keep them out, good. They don’t care, they just want to fill their own bucket with stuff that is outside anyway

    Twitter people going to threads is completely independent from anything in the fediverse. Those people won’t even notice any difference if they are federated or not.

    They are in for the brand and the fomo, not the content
