It's not self-hosted, I refuse to use anything that relies on any third party

Which is ridiculous, the widescreen TV is the ultimate spot where vertical videos have no place.

Correct, as long as the instance your account is in federated with all other instances you're subscribed to, you don't have to switch accounts.

Now, defederation is another issue if you want to see the widest possible amount of content. What's going to happen is ideologically opposed instances are going to defederate each other, so left-wing instances are going to defederate right-wing ones and vice versa. So if you're a user who wants to see the content from both sides, you'll have to create multiple accounts in each "cluster" of federated instances. It's kind of annoying to be honest, it makes it hard to discover communities just because your instance admin decided to defederate from them and encourages echo chambers, but it it's the best we've got.

No, you can see all the content from all instances you're subscribed to, as long your instance admin hasn't defederated from them.

I think this happens with any decentralized system: the users tend to cluster around a few big players. Those big players then get too big, get too much power and are able to control the entire system. I don't know why it's happening, I don't like it, but for some reason it does.

It'll pay for itself many times over 15-20 years it's going to serve you.

I just found out about this game and I'm loving it so far. Can't wait to get home to play

Umm, you're aware that anyone can stand up a Lemmy instance? Communists and fascists alike, you can just defederate from any instance you don't like.

You can, as long as that one member makes $200k+. It's your fault you're poor, weirdo

Fuck YouTube shorts, I hate them with passion. I wish there was a way to hide them from my phone's and TV's YouTube app
