How does it effect your internet speed, and does inhibit number of connections at all?

The number of folks interacting too is such a night and day difference. I dabbled in some lemmy instances before all this but never stuck around being there just wasn't much going on.

They do, but the difference is I can't go to another reddit instance when they pull shit. It's not flawless, but it certainly changes the power dynamics.

I don't know too much about self hosting, so it might be worth asking on a self-hosting community to see the specific issues. But from my ignorance I think there are some hindrances with smaller servers and the speed of their comments propagating through the fediverse.

Beyond that I think there is something that would jump out as a bit strange to folks if every comment or post was from @username@theirLiteralHomeIP, and If they are running on a phone their IP would be really volatile which might run into issues as well.

So I don't think there is anything fundamentally wrong individualized instances, but there are like practical issues with it. Further, it is certainly not foolproof, but different cultures of different servers has worked well in the fediverse to allow blocking posts from spaces that you don't wish to experience. If each user had a separate instance it would be much harder to do in practice.

Again, I'm a dumb dumb, so I would hope that someone with more knowledge can clarify, I'm just speculating on what I could see being issues 😅

I would say there is no language of nature; there are things that happen, and we can approximate what happens using math. Math can be used to describe basically anything, so the fact that we can understand these things through numbers is not extraordinary.

HOLY SHIT, Look at that, there's exactly three trees, its like it's reality is based on math or something :O

Also exactly how it would be introduced. Intricate puzzle the DM spent hours designing, fucking it up instantly, then just being like oh shit, lucky we had this staff the DM made during his portal playthrough

I thought they did a really good job with the choreography in the barbarian fights. Also the slap dash A plan, B plan, back up plan, back to plan B, all felt very authentic to a dnd campaign.

Not sure if there is a better way for your set up, but if you go to the room info (I at the top right), add widgets, bridges & bots, and add Jitsi Meet, it will set up a voice and/or video meeting that will run. Then anyone can join the meeting whenever they'd like.

Yeah, not sure how easy it would be to change, but if it just didn't boost user replies, it would actually be pretty solid on mastodon.

Still seems a little finicky though looking over @lemmy@lemmy.lm I am seeing one post from 8 mins ago then nothing for like two days. But @memes@lemmy.ml works it seems, with constant posts. Though still with the issue of every comment being boosted.

Outer wilds spoilers!

People want a Twitter replacement because Musk is terrible. This has the legitimacy of tech start up money and Jack Dorsey who started twitter. Those are the main reasons, but it also incorporates federation tech so in theory if it catches on you can migrate servers or incorporate other services. I'm skeptical, and much of what I like about the fediverse is that it isn't just counting the days before they can work towards profitability.
