How to avoid the Reddit downfall (lemmy.world)

  1. Use distributed, federated services like Lemmy, mastodon etc.
  2. Support the hosts with our own funds.
  3. Moderate our own communities.

The second point is the most important. Reddit happened because they are a corporate entity seeking profit. Let's own our social media platforms by actively contributing funds to them.

I mean to contribute distributed resources to existing instances. Not so much make new ones. Assuming Lemmy has a protocol for distributed resources built on something like the raft consensus algorithm.

I'm mobile ATM, so not at home, trying to learn as I go. The goal being by the time I'm home I'll know enough to provision resources if such a concept is a thing.

I have a whole cluster at home with business internet, so plenty of ready to go resources ๐Ÿค”
