I'm aware, I just frequently have to do over-the-shoulder proofreading and the dots always frustrate me

Doesn't have to be a complex task to be hard work

Does that include the dots between words instead of spaces? My colleague uses that and their documents are nigh unreadable to me at a glance

Excuse me NASA, we deorbited the space station for you. Can we have the money you were going to give to the spaceX contract? Thank youu

While I agree that an IPFS solution could be quite resilient, I'm not sure that the average person is willing to put up the resources or risk of hosting content. CSAM, copyright, etc, all become more of an individual risk that you're relying on moderators to mitigate for you. (Rather than the risk going to the server hosts typically doing the moderation covering their own ass)

Additionally, while there may be decent representation of people willing to do some small amount of hosting of services (myself included) on lemmy, I think making this mandatory really limits the growth of your social media platform.

I think you could achieve what you're looking for right now by self-hosting a private lemmy instance with signups closed, and this wouldn't close you out of existing federating platforms.

That's because you've chosen an instance that is more heavily curated. You can check which instances yours has defederated from at sh.itjust.works/instances

But if you look at the same page on mander.xyz/instances my admins are only defederates from threads.net and burggit.moe, so I already experience the fediverse as you describe.

I just feel like the whole problem the fediverse is trying to solve is admins slowly selling out and then having to move somewhere else. Having one website still has that problem of switching costs if you want to go somewhere else, you lose access to everything in that sphere of content. If the sh.itjust.works admins go crazy and start moderating in a way you don't like, you can go sign up on another instance and not lose any of the communities or people you used on your former instance.

But then it's centralized on one website and the person who owns that domain has control over the whole
