FYI looks like registration still doesn’t work - send button spinning, no request in ff network monitor. Tried ff & chrome, gmail and proton. I went with a different server eventually, but you might wanna do something in case this is not intentional
Not sure how lemmy implements this, but I suppose it’s not a trivial task in such decentralized environment. Imagine 10 users from instance A subscribed to instance B and then instance A went permanently down. If B holds number of subscription requests it’s now out of date. If B has to poll every instance it’s federated with it’s additional arguably unnecessary load. So yeah local subscriptions are a low hanging fruit. I guess one way to solve it is to have some independent authority that keeps track of sub counts in case those are (made) public and queryable
If it’s true that people vote for right wings out of frustration then the tables will turn again at some point because fundamentally most of the voting population have problems with unaffordable housing, low wages, poor healthcare, etc. and these problems are unlikely to be solved by a populist government.
