If there’s anything one should notice in life, it’s that yes, that is how grown adult humans act.

They’re all just entitled spoiled brats. Their kids are unironically more mature than they are.

Why would you need to ask some stupid chatbot that when you could have asked any one of us?

True

We need a public non-profit chip manufacturing company.

Are there any chips that can be these days?

And that means those chips are likely compromised and full of backdoors by now.

You can and should have both.

The system is so fucking broken. 🤦

It’s supposed to be legal to tease and make fun of cops to their faces per the first amendment, right?

Which is not possible because you can’t guarantee one account per person, anyone can make as many alts as they want, specifically on other servers that can then inundate a post on a target one. That’s why it’s so problematic.

In retrospect, federation itself is a terrible idea the way it’s been implemented. I don’t think the developers took the fact that humans are inherently evil into account.

In fact, they undermine an upvotes-only system too, since one person with 5,000 bot accounts can make anything look popular.

This also is true. 🤔 Allowing people to vote on other people’s comments in general is so deeply problematic.

It’s done in the most ass way possible and isn’t really suited for being an app for one individual. We need one specifically made for like one person.

That presumes downvotes represent honest disagreement, which we both know and I have proven they don’t.

Because now one asshole with 500 different alts across the fediverse can take any post he wants and massively downvote it, enforcing consequential action against opinions he doesn’t like, and no one is the wiser.

That’s why we deal with the one having 250 upvotes, and give 500 upvotes to whoever disagrees with it, letting that opinion rise to the top instead.

That’s the whole problem. No one’s posts should be affected by the opinions of others and the fact that they are incentivizes all of the problems we are facing. People are making alts, brigadeering and building botnets to get around being downvoted and that breaks the system.

Downvotes are not legitimate in any way at all except that they make people feel better and we can’t build a future based on such auspices.

A new federated platform that is self-run, hosts your identity only and allows you to interact from websites from your own app on your own phone or computer, to start. None of this signing up 500 trillion accounts for each and every website garbage.

No more Lemmy instances hosting content from other servers. The content should be downloaded from the server you’re trying to interact with to the user’s system, and only what little content the user chooses to see, and is deleted like a cache as soon as the user closes it out.

No more fucking downvoting 😠

One account, one unique cryptographic identifier or ID tied to machines so people can’t make alt accounts or botnets

There’s a LOT Lemmy and the fediverse as a whole needs to fix

How will it even be possible for new instances to get off the ground financially in a few years then?

Federation as it stands right now is a terrible system.

Yeah, people are starting to catch on that federation for a Reddit style platform is not a good idea. Who knew it was actually deeply deeply flawed and poorly thought out?
