omg… why would you work for a company like this? Working with shitty technology all day could lead to depression.

Imagine you would travel back to the 1990s and tell someone that in the 2020s people will pay about 200k for a link to a jpeg, but everyone can download the jpeg. They will not even understand why the future is so messed up, but they will ask if we have flying cars, yet?

How does one even made such a decision, who is sane and knows technology?

Why would you throw away so much money for new and shitty hardware, if Linux runs perfectly on old robust devices, which can be bought for a fraction of what you invested?

How is Dropbox making money and how is it possible it is still around? It can be easily replaced by an ftp server.

Oh wait, they sell data for money, my fault.

Scammer: “Buy a Jpeg everyone can download”
Investor: “Sounds like I can get rich with that. How much does one cost?”
Scammer: “20,000 to 50,000”
Investor: “Okay, I take four!”
People download jpegs instead of buying NFTs and making fun of it
Investor: “I lost all my money. I sue you!”

Have you found something? Would be nice if you could share it :)

You can find all those bad people who got banned on reddit here and they have to be banned again :D

If that would be possible, how would you moderate comments, seeing how random things can get?

I don’t know what you mean? If I am the admin of an instance or the moderator of a group, I could delete comments or is this just not possible?

Federating with only approved finstances (federated instance)?

Why doing this? Wouldn’t it be enough to block the illegal instances and those who are explicitly against your topics?

What if you keep your blog, then push every post you make there to your solo-community on a finstance? You can engineer your comment section on the blog to pint here or fetch the comments content from fediverse to your blog…

I am trying to be as green as possible. Having a blog on one server and the comments on another sounds like an inefficient way of using resources. Why not just put the articles where the comments are?

With Mastodon I had the same idea, that I will publish an article, post a link with short description on Mastodon and then use the Mastodon post as the comment section, then edit the blog article and put the link to Mastodon on the end of the article with a simple text link like “Comment section”.

But even this idea felt a bit odd and more unprofessional.

Lemmy looks like a really good solution to this atm.
