You’re probably using cloudflare as your dns?

Most people aren’t paying anywhere near $50/mo, and the headache from hosting and time $avings from letting someone else do it is worth it.

Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

It makes money but not American Football money… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so they invest less

Yes. In that example, the bigger instance defederated the smaller one, but banning is an extreme case. You’d be relegated to junk/spam filters for a while before that for only those providers but your email works everywhere else.

My main point still stands. Most email providers play nice but what if Gmail suddenly said “Your email won’t work except with other Gmail users”?

True. Except email

• doesn’t de-federate from each other
• doesn’t host a community (sub) that’s replicated on the others
• etc

For starters… it’s difficult even for those technically advanced.

My thought: IF it survives and outgrows a centralized site, it might still fizzle out and die when one instance outgrows the others and decides “why do we need the others if we have the bigger user base with the most subscribers?” And then we’re back to square one.

Oh wait… this is about Mastodon, not Lemmy… point still stands for ActivityPub as a whole.

Yeah, no idea. I’m still getting the same error on both WiFi and cellular service on my iPhone. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You get it, just like [email protected] (https://lemmy.management/comment/242797) idk how to mention on here.

Just the pendulum swinging again.

You hit the nail on the head brother

Basic

... But we do have one... It's just very... Minimal.
