For real. I can’t even keep up with what db0’s weird ass mod stances are. I just wanna look at memes and chat with people
Comment on Hexbear is incapable of understanding hypocrisy

Lemmy is a lot weirder of a place when you start to realize instances are like virtual nation-states and the admin teams are ALL despotic auth-rulers with the temperaments of toddlers.

db0 seems fixated on complex governance arrangements. We get it. You’re an anarchist. Amazing.

I’m not even an anarchist, I just wanted a somewhat populated instance with less down time than world. The political ideation of the more hardcore members of db0 certainly seems like a pipedream more than a realistic plan for government (or lack thereof). But hey, I’ll take hate for consolidated political power over bootlicking any day.

I agree, but thats not really what im getting at.
Theres this Fediverse Anarchist Flotilla which is supposed to be like an alliance of instances with shared rules and commitments and whatever. It just seems completely unnecessary to me.
Its like… 5 people catch up every week to drink beer and watch a movie. Its great and everyone enjoys it. Then one guy says you need a chairperson, and rules, and a secret handshake, and a versioning system for the rules, and a documented arrangement with some other guys who do the same thing at someone else’s house, and your own crypto coin for donations, and all the things.
Its all unnecessary.

Our admins are lovely but severely overworked. Most admin teams I’ve interacted with are kind but overladen. Some are definitely emotionally stunted but I definitely wouldn’t establish that as a rule

So just like the big ones minus the capitalistic machine…

People fail to understand that exactly this is the concept of a federation. You only agree on a few things, in this case the software, everything else, however, is fully individual.
Federation is not the solution here. The only solution that would work is peer to peer - no hosts at all, pure anarchy.

Is there such a place?
I suspect I wouldn’t like it but I’d like to see it in action

There is. It’s filled to the brim with nazis, cryptobros and spam

the astronaut meme but its ‘wait that is how almost everything ever has worked this whole time?’
lemmy just fundamentally attempts to accept that that is basically how people work, when you boil things down, and tries to provide mechanisms to manage this somewhat less insanely.
