I don’t really understand how it would be, since things get duplicated across any federated instances. If anything it amplifies the spam since it auto-dupes it everywhere.
You might say everyone could just defederate, but at that point the damage is done, no? Not to mention if they’re using bot armies they can just send them at any new instances that spin up.
Someone please let me know if I’m wrong, but I don’t see how Lemmy could withstand any amount or coordinated cyber attack or operation.
If dedicated security teams from fortune 500 companies can’t beat them, I don’t see how someone’s server in their garage is going to do it.
I’ve never enjoyed gyms or traditional workouts, but yoga clicks with me.
If we’re going pie in the sky I would want to see any models built on work they didn’t obtain permission for to be shut down.
Failing that, any models built on stolen work should be released to the public for free.
This makes sense, thanks for the answer!
Consolidation is inevitable I think. The most important feature of a social network is who’s on it, and federation is a technical enough concept that it’s going to be very hard to convince people not to go to the biggest instance.
I’m not a dev, but I believe the only way to avoid consolidation is to build some kind of neutral signup site that automatically assigns people to an instance based on load/location. This would also be good for adoption cause people could sign up without having to figure out what instances are.
