Oh god I finally was able to log in, 2 days after I thought I failed to make an account because none of the emails went through.
I wish there was some sort of way that I could send CPU power or bandwidth, tor style, to these new decentralized platforms. I totally get that they're having growing pains, and I also get that part of the tradeoff of decentralization is "well, who pays the hosting bills then?"
I'd love to put a percentage of my bandwidth and home server (or even AWS instance) CPU resources towards running an encrypted Lemmy.world instance. I don't want to just run my own barren, empty server like what the Federated system would let me do; I don't feel like that would actually have any benefit to making a reddit-replacement since why would anyone use my instance? No, I specifically want to dedicate resources to helping the popular instances, be able to run.
Holy crap these upvote numbers are something new. Thanks spez 😅
To be fair you're on the most popular instance, the nice thing about federated stuff is you can join a smaller instance that's not overloaded, and still have access the same content.
I wish they did a better job of explaining that on the lemmy site haha
I wish they did, too. I thought it was different content for each instance.
Take the money that you would've spend on AWS and donate it to lemmy.world. That would be the best solution IMO.
