Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜

server speed

rocket - fast lightning - medium

[โ€“] Zombie@feddit.uk 8 points 1 day ago

But lightning is faster than rockets... What? This doesn't make any sense at all!

[โ€“] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hm, I wouldn't have known rocket is faster, since lightning is instantaneous in real life.

Perhaps a speedometer at different speeds and color chunks (low adds first 3rd is filled green, medium adds yellow to the next 3rd, fast adds red to last chunk) would be more intuitive? Though that could also be interpreted as server capacity if the word speed isn't next to the icon. Maybe a little icon legend somewhere nearby could help, or a question mark sign next to the speed icon that explains what it is?

[โ€“] Skavau@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

Yes, probably.

Phew. Picked my instance based on vibes alone, but it turned out good anyway. Didn't even know about the speed ratings.
