If you see lag, you should try using a different instance. LW was noticeably slow during summer 2021, a lot of people moved to other instances due to that

No, but there were some karma requirements on some subs. And you could resell high karma account to advertisers as they would seem trustful

To be fair, I feel like Mastodon is just very rigid. I used to use Tweetdeck when Twitter was still interesting, and the key forks definitely give the same feeling: more customisability, better feedem features

I’ve been on IceShrimp quite a bit, it seemed “similar enough” to Twitter, as the paradigm is different:

• on IceShrimp, you follow people or hashtags
• on Lemmy and Piefed, you follow communities

You’re assuming that all those servers would have the same policies and admins.

As we can see from their recent announcement, the LW team has some specific policies in their Terms of Service that no other instance replicates.

You are thinking about load balancing, but that can be handled by Cloudflare or something else, it’s doesn’t have to be a different instance.

I really hope the admin will be able to fix the picture issue, it’s the main reason I switched to another instance

The whole world was at war for most of history. Also, among others:

Ptolemaic rule brought stability and economic prosperity to the region.[120][121]

The Byzantine era was a time of great prosperity and cultural flourishing in Palestine.[181]

Oh, wow, very impressive! Did you have to use a calculator to get to this challenging result?

That’s unnecessarily agressive

I’ve mostly seen pictures of landscapes and animals, so not as much

I support Threadiverse for Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin

Twittoverse for Mastodon, Misskey and its dozens of forks

I got the same criticism about a similar graph a while ago. Numbers are on the left, people can clearly see how big of a change the graph shows, and I have no way to present the graph differently as it’s straight from the website, but people still want to argue about it

I just skimmed through it. Damn, and people say that the Fediverse concept of instances is confusing 😄

Let’s keep it short: once people will be able to register on a version of the platform (whatever piece of the PDS, DID, Relay that means) managed by other people then Bluesky, than trust towards ATProto will be higher.

As of now, it’s very low.

Also, see the issue of the ATProto scalability in another comment: https://feddit.org/post/6858224/4156121

There’s no karma on Lemmy

I’m not sure if people are pedantic or sarcastic at this point

Thank you for this, very interesting. I skimmed through it

But we aren’t actually running networks of 26 users. We are running networks of millions of users. What would happen if we had a million self-hosted users and five new users were added to the network? Zooming out, once again, the message passing system simply has five new messages sent. Under the public shared heap model, it is 10,000,025 new messages sent! For adding five new self-hosted users! (And that’s even just with our simplified model of only sending one message per day per user!)

Maybe this sounds silly, if you’re a Bluesky enthusiast. I could hear you saying: well Christine, we really aren’t planning on everyone self hosting. Yes, but how many nodes can participate in the system at all? The fediverse currently hosts around 27,000 servers (many more users, but let’s focus on servers). Adding just 5 more servers would be a blip in terms of the affect on the network. Adding 5 more servers to an ATProto ecosystem with that many fully participating nodes would be an exhausting number of additional messages sent on the network. ATProto does not scale wide: it’s a liability to add more fully participating nodes onto the network. Meaningfully self-hosting ATProto is a risk to the ATProto network, there is active reason to disincentivize it for those already participating. But it’s not just that. Spreading things around so that more full Bluesky-like nodes are present is something server operators will have to come to discourage if they don’t want their already existing high hosting costs to not skyrocket.

Where are the relay and PDS not operated by Bluesky that people can use to register today?

Thanks for sharing!
