@Chozo I wonder if this bodes well for Kbin/Lemmy? Arguably their model is more about content than social relationships.

@mystphyre AFAIK this is a known issue that the developers have been looking at in the last few days. Hope to have a fix soon

I’m curious why this recent trend isn’t visible in Google Trends? I watched the November exodus unfold in real time there. This time not a glimmer of activity

@Redhotkurt it sounds like maybe you should create it?

@poVoq yes this sounds sensible. I think the key is the user themselves having more control over their identity.

Have you read https://nexus.blacksky.network/zine/00000001/confederal-protocols similar themes that we’re talking about here.

@JonEFive

@JonEFive I think the identity bit is the hard part, as you say most content will be federated/ cached in several locations for retrieval

@JonEFive

WebauthN maybe? Pretty niche right now, but the threadiverse is quite a techy crowd…

@JonEFive

@JonEFive I’ve been wondering about separating the ID/auth from the app. Someone recently got Keycloak working and that has some possibilities for federation. Not sure if that really helps though. You still have to trust the keycloak admins

@JonEFive I do run an instance that’s just for me https://fledd.it (configured as a news aggregator) it was easy on elest.io. $10/ month is too much for most people though. I don’t think this is the route to mass adoption.

@Ori I’m making the US regional, I forgot to add in a default for areas outside of the covered regions. It should work again now.

@JonEFive Multi-magazines are certainly desirable and would to some extent mitigate the data loss caused by an individual server going dark.

I guess the larger issue is if your ‘home’ instance is the one that goes dark, taking your personal account with it. Maybe it’s in fact user account portability that’s most important to work on. Assuming that multi-magazines happen fairly soon.

@LEDZeppelin you can’t at the moment

@HandsHurtLoL Arguably you’re not the magazine owner. The server admin is. That’s kind of my point.

@Cat I wrote a bit more about it here: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/210618/kbin-world

@pgetsos How about now?
