  • So, in its current form, lemmy sends federation packets in serial form. It can send them to multiple instances in parallel, but the feed between any two given instances is serial.

    And serial means that the second packet doesn’t get sent until the first packet has been processed. Add in geographic latency, which is relevant at multiple steps of resolving any given AP packet, which adds to the per packet processing time, and now, lemmy.world is producing packets faster than it’s possible for a geographically remote instance to process them, no matter what hardware they’re running on.

    The problem would be resolved with parallel sending, but that’s not currently a thing that lemmy allows for, and apparently, is not trivial to implement either.








  • There are multiple governments, political parties and hate groups explicitly focused on taking away my rights and ensuring I can’t exist safely and openly.

    It’s got nothing to do with personality. I’m exposed to a barrage of hateful media targeting folk like me every single day, and it’s next to impossible to escape.

    So finding spaces where I can just not have to deal with that shit is important



  • Assuming that “bigots” is not a synonym for “anyone I disagree with”, then fair enough.

    Why would it be?

    My underlying point is that technology is making it very easy to wall ourselves off into comfortable echo chambers

    Your experience is different to mine. I wish I could wall myself off from people who want to remove my rights and target me with hate, but I’ve yet to find a way of doing that.
