· Föderation EN Mo 12.05.2025 21:39:36 "Christine what do you think of the fediverse adopting relay strategies now" It's bad, I think? Seems like re-centralization? I am under-informed. I have strong opinions on how to do this right. I have written them in places but guess I should re-express them. Hard to find time. |

Föderation EN Mo 12.05.2025 22:16:02 @cwebber In what way are fediverse relays re-centralization? They're not really comparable to Bluesky relays in that they're completely optional and there's no single central relay, they're just for smaller instances to get more posts federated to them. |
Föderation EN Mo 12.05.2025 23:04:38 @noisytoot It's not the worst. I am not *that* worried about fediverse relays. But I am worried about them being used as a solution for archiving, if used wrong. More later. But it's not a big concern/threat. It's more that there's a better way I think. |
Föderation EN Mo 12.05.2025 22:53:13 @cwebber relays seem to be opt-in on a per instance basis. Given relays are not used for core functionality, I prefer to view it as collaboration, not centralization |
