There is no one solution, that's how we got ourselves into this mess.
Diversify energy production and reduce energy use, make more efficient houses, cars, machines, work places, more energy efficient living.
I am here for the comments, not articles.
I don't care about articles since it is usually just one person's opinion. I want discussion with other people, where ideas can be challenged and tested.
Adding links will not help that.
For me, personally, it is good enough right now. I do open reddit sometimes for smaller communities not active here, but if we keep it at this traffic, I will be satisfied.
Their market share depends on their manufacturing capacity.
Yeah, they can not win it but I guess they hold enough patents and are ahead of reserch for now. If they play it right, they will remain significant player, but also easy to disappear.
And by commercializing it they would destroy it, since they will be promoting content that generates most clicks and everything will become agresive.
I think that a lot of toxicity on commercial socian networks comes from their need to increase engagement, so they tune algorithms for that. Which is usually agresive behavior.
Just by not having that sort of algorithms we will be better.
I think that is because all those sites (youtube, twitter, facebook, reddit,...) are promoting "user engagement" or whatever they call it, so they made algorithms that promote it. Of course, that means they promote toxicity and agruments, easiest way to motivate people to comment.
So the whole network becomea unhealthy and toxic.
That's also the reason I am against federating with them.
I don't think that FB even knows that lemmy exist, problem is they are so big they will crush us by accident.
Even back than with XMPP, Google didn't kill it intentionally. No one expected it will be smaller than before google used it. I remember watching empty list where all friends were. But it happened, and I never thought that Google wanted to kill XMPP.
Maybe they want to use Activity Pub so that they can influence further development of it. I don't know procedure how w3c is makeing decisions and updates to it, but I doubt someone that is not using it can have influence.
I also think they don't care about us, I doubt they even know we exist.
That doesn't change that they would destroy us unintentionally. Like Vogons.
I am not sure what would happen in that instance, thou I guess it would be good to have server outside their jurisdiction (if that is legal).
Technically thay can easily block all federation domains, but question is legality of doing it without due process.
But someone talking about blocking communication between people does not care about legality.

Others downvote you and say "read the article", but not giving arguments.
I read the article and it is not clear what is the advantage... looks like less pressure is needed than other types of hidrogen cells, but there are no details.
I agree with you, don't hold your breath for this. All details would be in first sentence if there was any chance of this becoming reality.
