You broke and reinforced relativity at the same time

but is it exactly not not swearing?

if someone shrugs with pretty good

or shrugs with good

to me the former is still better than the latter.

I don't see a way for pretty good to mean less than good

so the only way to listen something intelligeble is that everyone synthinises on the same freq

here's the true definition of being on the same wavelength

one reason which come to mind is Stream-ability.

if you download the video and play it, it might be fine. but users normally want to stream it.

to stream it, the endpoint from where you stream it needs to be near you.

if you are in the US and will stream something from a European server, you'll have problems. and even if you don't, that cannot be considered the norm.

that's why people use CDNs, and they are a huge business.

so there's an advantage to have a close to you instance, which has as much locally present content as possible

how can a user comment from another instance?

my user on lemmy.ml cannot login on other instances, or can it?

yes, but that's speed of light

¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

so you can!?!

I can see my lemmy.ml uer from mastodon and even communities (called groups on there).

From the smell of it it seems something that mastodon allows, for specific federated services, but it's not out of the box for all activitypub fediversed services/instances

Edit: what i find strange is that there is a clear way to verify websites to me, with a rel=me relationship. But there is no clear way to say "those other federated identities are the same of me".

I get that the rel=me way is well known and well used, but allowing for this concept in the protocol of a federated service seems to be important.

At least, I care about the concept of digital identity and I would think for a distributed and federated and ever evolving network like the fediverse, this would be quite a common place to be

this to me is good though.

ActivityPub takes care of it.

this means that the fediverse is gdpr friendly.

easier situation.

out of curiosity, is it resistant to temporary partitions?

I think to this might be a reductive view.

the fediverse uses activypub.

ActivityPub is. a W3C raccomandation and this organisation cares about privacy.

it's likely that the protocol will, if it already doesn't, take care of it.

even if it's up to single imstamcesy is true, there are two further questions here (beyond how much it's enforceable)

should fediverse help admin in the task?

should fediverse help users to protect their privacy?

and to me the answer to both is yes.
