Blockchain is almost always less efficient, but it’s decentralized.

Would Moses split the water underneath Jesus to make him fall? “It’s just a prank, bro!”

I would take them more seriously if they actually provided information/evidence of their claims.

Maybe we don’t need celebrities for news?

Blockchain is well suited for storing authentication and provenance information. The Fediverse could benefit from blockchain stored instance, user, and community metadata.

Proof of Stake will keep actual resource costs maintainable, and Blockchain does do some cool stuff for decentralization, and therefore federation. Right now Lemmy instances are tied to DNS. Hopefully in the future they will be tied to cryptographic assets. Distributed Autonomous Organizations are a great example of the potential.

News really misses him and the perpetual click generation. It why we need to get away from advertisement driven news.

Hate to say it, but I agree. I don’t like paying subscriptions, but I’d rather pay for something I can rely on than constantly have to move around. No one instance is going to be able to charge high fees because of competition, but some are going to have to charge maintenance costs.

It was kind of cute, but I don’t why mass adoption would happen 4 and a half decades later: https://youtu.be/HqPe7pE_5uQ

So many new Lemmy users from this. Coverage seems pretty balanced.
