doesn’t rely on any servers or instances .

Yet is hosted on Github and presumably requires a working DNS and HTTPS system to download.

Users connect to your node directly, p2p, and nobody can stop you.

Except your ISP and/or government.

the protocol is text only, to embed media, you need to host it on the regular ( Centralized ) internet, and then you link to it like https://example.com/image.jpg, and the host will stop hosting that image and report your IP.

So your supposedly non-centralized project requires external hosting? It's like NFTs where the images were just worthless links. :P Also, uh, base64 encoding is a thing and clients will absolutely start supporting it.

the community creator can assign mods, mods can remove posts from that community.

... Isn't this what you've been trying to avoid?

if a community is badly moderated, the user will never see it, it wont be recommended to him.

Finally, a mention of content discovery. How is your recommendation system implemented? What decides whether a community is worth being recommended?

Also being p2p, seedit is not private, so it can’t really be used for illegal activity

Wait... Isn't your whole pitch that it was censorship resistant? Can you clarify your threat model here, who are you actually worried about censoring your platform?

[ActivityPub servers] are hard to run and manage.

And using a completely unknown new service and protocol isn't? I'm sure there's tons of documentation out there for hosting Mostodon or Lemmy servers.

the problem with federated social media is that each federated instance is just a regular centralized sites.

I agree with this, but not for the reasons you've stated.

P2P also scales infinitely, which is the reverse of centralized websites like federated instances: the more users there are, the faster it gets.

P2P scales much worse than centralized systems. Centralized systems scale at N connections per node, while P2P systems scale at N^2 connections per node.

You know what, I don't mind this project. We need a place for far right people to go to to avoid "censorship" (getting banned from a subreddit for doing nothing but throwing slurs at people) and collaborate on their "plans" (killing minorities) on a platform that is "private" (easily traceable, unencrypted and linked to your IP address).

Just a heads up to anyone reading this: Don't format your home folder as FAT32/ntfs. Some stuff in there needs Linux specific permission bits and you might be limited in terms of maximum file size.

Consider mounting at /home/usename/shared or something instead if you want a shared drive.

I think there are companies in the US that sell a product to make taxes "easier" and they make a lot of money from it. And since they are a rich American company, they can lobbybribe the government to do what they want.

Think we can get them to rename it to xy11? You know, because only having x is part of the feminist agenda.

I don't think so, Valve already have their hands full with one translation layer and probably don't want to add another layer on top of it.

I also wouldn't be surprised if battery life ends up being worse through the hypothetical vm. It still has to do the same amount of work after all.

I've watched two people online play the game and both pretty much slammed it. It should absolutely have been free with the console. Is $10 really disposable enough income to spend on what is essentially an ad for the console you've already bought and a handful of minigames? 7/10 is a wild score to give it, but I guess reviewers get these games for free anyway so price doesn't matter.

I think the idea is that if you can't do a loud pride (not everyone can), it's okay to take it slow and relax.

The fight is worthless if the people being fought for don't make it.

It gets to the point where i look for someone to argue with cause of this and end up saying or doing things I regret, rince and repeat.

Break this cycle. It's not healthy. The community isn't worthy of this much of your headspace.

I think non-autistic people can just... Not listen to things. Like there's a noise and they're like "nah, I'm good" and filter it out.

Incidentally, both bad sex and code documentation both involve std vectors.

Unironically I've been feeling quite a bit better after putting my phone in another room as I sleep. I think it now makes the bedroom a place where my brain feels it can take a break from the horrors of the world.

People have absolutely taken a multi-year break from Minecraft before.

Really though, why is there a time limit at all? Google still allows you to convert old Youtube accounts to Google accounts, why can't Microsoft do the same?
