There's an even better alternative on the CCC's website, the original source of the video ;)

Willkommen bei Politikberichterstattung in Deutschland. Politik ist hier eine Abfolge von Ereignissen, die einfach passieren, aus Gründen, die keiner so richtig weiß, weil Motivation, Kalkül und Agendas im Politikbetrieb anscheinend nicht existieren. Und selbst wenn sie existieren, wäre eine Analyse oder gar kritische Betrachtung ein Affront gegen die selbstauferlegt journalistische Neutralität, die jedoch nur gegenüber dem Status Quo existiert. "Wie konnte das denn passieren???!" ist die große Frage, die in Deutschland oft gestellt, aber wenig beantwortet wird.

Es kommt auch noch die Punktevergabe für den Hauspokal!
I'm pretty sure there is no particular reason why it's done this way. It's just the easiest method to coomunicate upvotes across different servers. There are already a lot of ideas for doing it differently or more efficient (e.g. vote aggregation) but that requires a more sophisticated architecture:
- Vote aggregation also makes faking votes much more efficient and requires different detection methods. Of course, a spam server can also invent users or votes but it's a bit more complicated.
- Aggregation in any form can be hard to implement because it should be flexible enough to reduce load but not increase delay or make tracking a consistent state even harder. Finding the right configuration will be difficult and go through a lot of trial and error. Should be easier though now that more people are working on the code.
- Keep in mind that Lemmy should also be able to communicate with other services across the Fediverse like Mastodon via ActivityPub. I'm not sure if there is something in the standard for message aggregation yet. It's definitely being discussed because Mastodon, Pixelfed and Peertube all have or went thorugh the same growth problems as Lemmy in terms of scaling, spam and security concerns. If there's a good solution it will likely come through the AP standard.
In the browser when you hover over the display name, you should see the full username. I don't know how it's shown in the various apps but it should appear if you view the user's profile.
Github is the right place s most of the development is discussed in the issues and PRs there. There's also the Matrix space https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy-space:matrix.org which has various chat rooms regarding Lemmy/Jerboa development.
Also you're... me? :D At least our taste in usernames is very similar.
Might be another bug because https://lemmy.ml/c/vpop@lemmy.ml (notice the instance postfix) also loads just fine. Maybe it's something that has to do with how local instances get handled.
... der übrigens ein feststehender Rechtsbegriff aus der DSGVO ist. Nur fallen da alle mögliche Sachen drunter, weshalb die Verwendung super verwirrend ist.
