IMHO the problem crypto leftists have had is that our implementation choices generally ignore the "decentralized" requirement to avoid difficult economics problems. We try things like having nonprofits checking IDs, or creating yet another money supply so we can pay the devs from it, or recreating treasury bonds because it looks greener.

What we need isn't "open source money, but generous". We need to build a new economy outside the old one, and what we're selling won't shoot to the moon overnight. While we can contribute useful tools, we aren't the architects of that future and can't be in charge even for now.

    Digital artists and illustrators are abandoning Elon Musk’s blogging platform X (formerly Twitter) over the introduction of a new controversial image-editing feature powered by artificial intelligence (AI). According to reports, the creators claimed that the new tool could be used to modify others’ works without their consent.

    One such popular creator championing the boycott is Mu-jik Park, the renowned South Korean artist known by the pen name Boichi. Boichi is the creator of the hit manga series Dr Stone and Sun-Ken Rock.

     

    My understanding of federation is that it's like email. If one server is misbehaving, then they get defederated.

    So how come email spam still exists - why don't spammer domains get defederated? It seems like we've got the worst of both worlds, where it's hard to get your emails relayed when you run a small email server, and easy to get them relayed if you're a spammer.

    Is there anything about Lemmy's architecture that will prevent this problem?
