Nice test! Iβm a Tailscale user and I liked it being faster than others. I donβt care about memory usage but curious why there is a big gap π€ Like its using 20x more memory than Zerotier.
If not discord is still better. Maybe one day theyβil do shit, at this time this is not the case
This is why I asked "why don't just use Reddit" in the first place.
While Reddit worked seamlessly for more than 15 years, it turned to shit within 1 year. The worst part is that we cannot easily switch to a different platform because Reddit is mainstream, and the alternatives are not appealing enough because there are not enough people. Isn't it possible that we will experience the same thing with Discord?
Also, I really respect Lemmy.world's decision. It's not my job to interfere in internal affairs because I'm not a user or admin here. I just wanted to express my opinion, after all, that's what the comment field is for, right? But not again, I will not comment on instance meta communities, as it supposed to be :)
There are definitely pros/cons. I'm not a FOSS monster. I would just expect a platform whose reason for existence is big corps to be more devoted in this regard.
The reason people use Lemmy is because Reddit has a monopoly and does stupid things. How confident can we be that Discord won't do this? I'm sure they will because they are a for-profit company. So why don't we start from a platform that power belongs to the user? It is also tragicomic that a platform like Lemmy.world does this.
For your argument; I don't agree. I think Matrix has sufficient features for this job.
Its not exactly decentralized. Yes its splitted across several servers, but these servers still centralizes the users/data. In order for us to truly say decentralized, each user must keep their own data and no other authority should be able to interfere with this user's data.
I think fediverse is a good mid point. Itβs partly decentralized and moderated by volunteers.
For instance, in decentralized networks, who is going to bring high-quality and moderated content on a public page? If there is going to be moderators, who are they and how theyβre going to be selected? If everything going to be free, then whats stopping people from sharing illegal or CSAM?
Iβve read Nostr docs and I saw that users must comply with relays rules to live on that server. If its like this, then there is no difference between Nostr relays and Mastodon servers; there will be authority anyways. Except Mastodon is properly moderated.
