I’d recommend you sign up for their mailer. I don’t have the link off hand but it shouldn’t be hard to find.

Again, ghost is actively working on this?

So two things

Activity pub is federation. So you’d be publishing to anywhere. Which as I said before, ghost is actively working on. They have a weekly mailer.

If your looking for an algorithm publishing centre, your going to find open source to be lacking. Generally speaking people who are looking for open source, don’t want the algorithmic feeding that your describing.

I self host ghost but they do offer a hosted version. It’s open source as well. They’re even working on activity pub integration!

That assumes dev resources are limitless. And for a company the size of proton that’s certainly not true.

They can only have X amount of devs. So how they allocate them says a lot.

Also given that most complaints I’ve seen at the top are about specific missing features for ages, I think it’s safe they’re putting their eggs into too many baskets.

That would defeat the purpose of federation.

It becomes a central choke point of moderation. Who gets to decide what instances are part of global and which ones aren’t. Because a free for all isn’t going to end well. And then you’re back at Reddit.

That assumes you don’t value your time spent dealing with troubles that come.

Like the other person said, it’s fine if you don’t, but for me it’s worth a little upfront cost to have to deal with less ordering new drives, putting the drive in the server, monitor rebuilding of the array, ect…

None of that is an excuse for lack of proper backups. Because even new drives can fail catastrophically.

NASA also consistently provides new innovation and new science.

What will the dome keep contributing to society for the absurd electricity cost it takes to keep running? Advertisements?

Yeah, there not really the same argument.

That’s an appeal to authority fallacy if I’ve ever seen one.

They’re doing proof of concepts, not mass production. They’re at best answering is it possible, not is it a viable alternative.

Please describe to me how someone who offered up changes to change “he” to “they” for them, and then the contributor getting pissy about “politics” is denying work.

Okay but like, you also realize gas fees for transactions can get stupid expensive right? Banks don’t have variable rates.

That’s what they said about bitcoin, and there’s still nothing useful at any kind of scale outside of scams.
