For as many marginalised people I’ve met who would feel discomfort around remaining federated, I’ve known just as many that get stressed out and exhausted by conflict over what to them seems like a ‘minor thing’, because of the vitriol, spite, etc. that comes with it. Especially when, as the other person above alluded to, some people seem to get involved in these things specifically for the sake of conflict, rather than any meaningful political stance.)

This was my problem when I tried mastodon. There was always some drama between instances over some minor thing that people decided was the most important thing in the world

The overview in the spec is probably as good of a summary as anyone could give you.

But some of the comments for that video suggest that they aren’t able to connect to people outside of that bubble, since these people’s instances might block NSFW ones.

I think a lot of times that's due to the risk of hosting potentially illegal federated content from nsfw instances.

The idea that people thought they needed to explain the different Klingon makeup because of a throwaway joke in a comedic episode is honestly crazy

They're probably not too worried about people getting them mixed up with 15 year old CPUs

a lot of rust's safety is basically the compiler enforcing things that are already considered modern c++ best practices

Sounds like a good feature, though not exactly a ‘disadvantage’, without a comparison. Is the comparison Mastodon? Reddit?

This is definitely a disadvantage in comparison to Mastodon imo. For example, there's no reason for a general-purpose instance to defederate from lemmynsfw.com, but it would be nice if I could browse all and not have it be half porn without hiding all nsfw posts in general.

yeah, it could be more comfortable than a normal ereader for reading lying on your back or something, but it seems really gimmicky

not sure this is a better solution for being able to focus on reading than just like putting your phone in another room for an hour for free
