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?
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
I agree with most of this, although I think that downvotes are an important part of platforms like these. They allow shit takes to get their visibility reduced.
Neat! Deeply ineffective communication! Starting to feel more like reddit by the day!
