I like this comment but in the end this is something most people won't want, me included, because a decentralized identity would just mean an even better way to track and get yourself doxed for people who want to remain unknown to rulers of city states

From my perspective there was nowhere to go besides disparate discord communities, until I learned Lemmy existed and it got an IV injection of life from spez screwing with reddit

Sorta seems like a damned if you do, damned if you don't type of situation.

Agreed, you cannot trust something that has the same ultimate goal as cancer. Endless infinite growth.

That’s what a corporation is, it can’t help it anymore than fire can choose how hot to burn

This is an excellent line.

Damn, that's a terrifying vision of the future. I was on the fence with defederating, but we probably should.

Your comment should be top.

Then use Tor if you're truly scared

Good luck building a performant version.

Although I've always wondered why someone hasn't built a Tor version of Lemmy/mastodon yet.. imagining no home instance control, you're just donating hosting to a truly decentralized website that nobody controls but anyone can post to. It would be the ultimate dissent tool.

The author is directly saying that the more instances you have, the higher load on each of them. Because they're all replicating and sending traffic to each other. Then again I don't know enough to verify that, and Lemmy seems to be working just fine for me for the past week.

He seems to know what he's talking about and hosted his own instance for a long time, why specifically do you distrust the author?
