I mean, if they ALL come here, they will kill the fediverse, but I assume many will and there will be new, normie platforms for the others.
wont the fediverse just invest more in servers and make ads if millions of users come?
You seem to have the wrong idea of what the fediverse is and how it works.
then explain it. im new here
The fediverse isn’t one singular entity. It’s a bunch of individual independently managed instances that link with each other (or don’t, if they so choose) via a shared protocol. Think of it like email.
The Fediverse (commonly shortened to fedi)[2][3][4] is a collection of social networking services that can communicate with each other (formally known as federation) using a common protocol . Users of different websites can send and receive status updates, multimedia files and other data across the network. The term Fediverse is a portmanteau of federation and universe.[5]
The majority of Fediverse platforms are based on free and open-source software , and create connections between servers using the ActivityPub protocol. Some software still supports older federation protocols as well, such as OStatus, the Diaspora protocol and Zot, while newer protocols such as AT Protocol connect via network bridges. Diaspora is the only actively developed software project classified under the original definition of Fediverse that does not support ActivityPub.[6][7]
DesignWhile a traditional social networking service will host all its content on servers managed by the owner of the website, the decentralized structure of the Fediverse allows any individual or organization to host a social platform using their own servers (referred to as an “instance”).
Yep.
when do you think this will happen?
Already happening slowly? Look at genp
Eventually? It’s been ongoing.
wdym? i dont see reddit now banning piracy
“refer to megathread” that is offsite and not on reddit is the only reddit response
Pirating itself (like direct links to pirated contents) on reddit is prohibited and posts or even the sub can be taken down by reddit. That’s why you often see piracy releted subs talking and discussing about piracy and piracy related topics instead of being a place for piracy.
Reminder that when a sentence has 2 or more questions people will only answer the last one.
okay that makes sense. thanks
I think they’d let it keep going to keep tabs on which websites to tattle to the authorities.
cant they just spy on fmhy then? they dont need a sub to know the sites
Maybe, but users are willing to organize and provide the discovery service for free.
Just like here…who knows if some of the copyright psychos are active here (they probably are…)
Just mention lemmy on reddit every chance u have
