  • If users started to switch to it, how would the primary instance handle that level of traffic?

    They can’t. Not without enshittification and monetization. But I suspect that that is their goal. They have no interest in federation, not even on the future roadmap. The developer also stated elsewhere that he won’t support self-hosting officially, and it only became a thing after long back and forth in the community. I already know where that project will go and I don’t like it.








  • Just reading it is already profitting from the written work. The author should have the freedom to decide whether they want monetary compensation for that or not. Isn’t this a free world? You should respect it when people decide to publish IP under permissive licenses. It’s their work. They can decide. Everyone who is against this and for piracy needs to have their moral compass checked by looking in the mirror. This is a free world, if you like it or not.


  • The entire open-source scene grew out of that exact system before LLMs even existed. What are you talking about?

    Also, just because somebody has the right to make their code open-source doesn’t mean that everyone should be forced to do the same. If you decide to make a living by writing books under a permissive license you should be able to do that. This is a free world. Nobody is forcing open-source developers to make the code proprietary. But people like you feel to be in the moral right to force the opposite to others.
