Instance admin here, this is backwards. Instance costs increase with the number of users because we don't sell ads. The only people we want signing up for accounts on our instance are people who are excited to be there, and intend to bring their singular wit and conversational A-game.

That’s another thing. It should be easier and more obvious to participate in a server, not just as a user but also as a donor. I think there’s a lot more people willing to chip in, but it should be upfront and easy to do.

@Demigodrick@lemmy.zip does a great job posting monthly updates with ways to donate, hopefully others can start or already are doing so.

Dammit! No wonder I'm not wanted!

Yeah, if ActivityPub could support nomadic identity out of the box, that would be great.

[–] Bubs@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

Having lost two of my accounts to recent instance shutdowns, I 100% support this idea.

[–] nylo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

can you give me an ELI5 of what nomadic identity does? I gave a glance at that page and just wound up with more questions lol

[–] thorhop@sopuli.xyz 23 points 12 hours ago

Basically, right now an identity (or account) is tied to a server. If the identity was tied to a cryptographic key instead, it and all of its content can be migrated to another server through an automated process. Both servers would have to authenticate the process with a public handshake, but essentially you would be able to move your account to another server - or even tie several accounts together into one identity.

Don't know why you've been downvoted. You're absolutely right.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 17 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Okay which instance is shutting down this time? I'm out of the loop here.

[–] alt_xa_23@midwest.social 1 points 2 hours ago

I think lemmings.world announced a few months ago that they were shutting down in July, but I'm not sure of that's what the meme is referring to

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Pretty sure it's .ml

Maybe not but when you ask, no one will answer but when you claim something that isn't true, people will go out of their way to correct you so let's see.

Murphy's law FTW

(For people out of the loop, it's actually Cunningham's Law, I'm just referencing a joke)

The secret is not letting people know you've deliberately given the wrong answer
