I had to re-login on voyager, my account had mysteriously disappeared from the app this morning.

I do wish there was a way for admins to send a notification to people when they revoke login tokens to avoid confusion. This will almost certainly happen again at some point.

I think this could be a ticking DOS time bomb.

Someone manages to spam upload massive files to the largest Lemmy instances could wipe out a ton of smaller ones.

Not to mention scalability wise this seems like a nightmare… eventually the largest Lemmy instances will have petabytes of media data with 100s of gbs coming in per day, giving other instances no chance to sync with them.

I think the system architecture needs a significant review. This won’t scale.

Yea but the difference is most instances have ethical reasons for banning certain content.

Meta could randomly decide anti-meta content doesn’t belong on their platform. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is already the case.

This article has been circulating around the fediverse and I think it greatly illustrates why it’s so important to defederate from large corporations before they can get a foothold. It’s about so much more than just them getting our data.

I switched from my lemmy.world account to this one because I assumed this instance would defed from meta.

And done. I love federation.

I hate shorts and I’ve unsubscribed from any channels that make shorts.

I don’t subscribe to you for a 30 second adhd friendly clickbait video. Major respect lost for some channels.
