This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

Don't federated instances just exacerbate already existing problems with places like Reddit, Tumblr, and Twitter? Specifically admin/mod abuse, excessive reposting/cross-posting, server lag/issues?

So considering there’s a substantial push to get away from places like Reddit and Twitter, as an outsider I’m wondering how the fediverse is going to actually provide solutions to some already bad problems within higher resource platforms:...

Lemmy isn’t a perfect solution. The problem with Fediverse technologies is that they’re not actually decentralized, they’re polycentric. As you pointed out, an instance admin can make a lot of trouble for the users of their instance.

However, it is a step in the right direction. The cost of switching from a particular instance to another is fairly low. Your point about reposting supports this argument. If other communities offer the same content, there’s no need to tolerate bad administration.

I don’t really see reposting as a serious problem. It’s a minor annoyance.

Privacy, I don’t think the privacy concerns are more serious with lemmy than with something like reddit. Just don’t any personal information to your account if you can avoid it.

Server issues, I don’t know what the solution is to that.

I don’t think dry air makes you sweat less. It just makes the sweat evaporate faster, which also makes it more effective at keeping you cool.

I believe that, but I really don’t get it. I have a phone like everyone else, and I’ll use it when I’m out and about, but when I’m at home, having a proper mouse and keyboard and a large screen is just a way better experience.

Thank you. Looking forward to the new Futurama episodes too.
