This isn’t even lies, damned lies, and statistics territory - it’s just nothing. I know VR motion sickness exists (I still get it even after an uncomfortable amount of time in SteamVR sometimes) but that’s… that’s not anything

• get on federated thing
• use corporate brand recognition and raw capital to get lots of users onto your instance of the federated thing
• lots and lots and lots of users
• "realize" that most of your users are only talking to each other, and maybe less than 10% is happening over federation
  • (of course they are, you deployed all those resources to get as many users as possible)
  • feel free to make things hard for the rest of the network along the way by being generally unstable for federated instances, since you represent such a huge number of users the rest of the network will cater to your broken nonsense
• leave federated network, citing “technical challenges” and aforementioned mostly-local-posting, causing everyone not on your instance to just mysteriously stop posting from the perspective of most users who aren’t keeping up with what seems like a bunch of nerd drama

this is, in essence, what happened to XMPP with Google

👋 I’m not using Kustomize, just throwing Deployment manifests and such at the cluster manually. Works pretty nicely, though I had some trouble setting up the custom nginx stuff to proxy stuff in - I ended up running a new nginx instance and pointing the Ingress at that rather than the Lemmy pods directly. Maybe there’s a more elegant solution I’m missing?
