That whole exchange cracked me up as they were throwing out strawman arguments to hype their own project, like instances are too expensive. When we pointed out that was untrue and gave them data they ended up asking for fundraising tips.

The beautiful thing about the Fediverse is that it isn't a competition.

Yes, the 180 they made was quite something ha ha

What's the context here?

Edit: am smooth brained idiot - context is on the post description

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Discussion on how centralized was better

Just seen the context in the post description, hadn't spotted that at first.

I wasn't sure you had seen it, I assumed you didn't want to go to Reddit ha ha

I'm not aware how fediverse works, can someone explain why when I look at the same post through lemm.ee instance and through hexbear instance they have different amount of comments? There are some overlapping comments, but those ones have different amount of likes and dislikes. I'm a bit confused

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 22 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Hexbear has been defederated by a number of instances and this will cause such a disparity.

I see, thanks

Hexbear lmao

@ma1w4re It's because it works similar to email. When someone posts, it sends out copies of the message to all of the followers. But some don't arrive, or some people have blocks in place, or something is not configured right. As a result, not all servers get the complete conversation.

But some people are working to fix that so that all of the servers that support threaded conversations can download the complete conversation.

I see, interesting. Thank you

Different defeserated instances, problems with content being federated due to network latency. There are a bunch of possible reasons.

Can you give an example of such post?

[–] ma1w4re@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Recent post about Linus on Linux@lemmy.ml, if I typed the instance right
