Why do the instances keep going down? It makes me think that this is not a reliable social network, but the alternatives are not as good.

    It’s already happening. I saw a sh.itjust.works user impersonating a lemmy.world admin and presenting opposite positions to what that lemmy.world admin believed. I use keyoxide to help provide confirmation that yes, @Cube6392@beehaw.org and @Quill7513@slrpnk.net are the same person, both of them are me, don’t panic.

        I mean slightly bad example since Microsoft migrated a bunch of their hotmail users to outlook addresses hahahaha. But yeah. I especially feel that way about people who want all !news communities to just be aggregated together when that doesn’t actually make sense when you think about it for more than a second. !news@beehaw.org and !news@ttrpg.net don’t actually have much in common, in terms of what they’re about. I know !news@ttrpg.net doesn’t actually exist, but it feasibly could exist as a community for discussing table top role playing game news, like if Dungeons and Dragons has a big new release of material or something

          Oh they did… Yeah I don’t know about microsoft these days, I don’t follow what they are doing. :) But yeah, just making a point.

          I think it makes sense to use the fediverse in a semi-anonomous way and not strive for centralized login systems since it will lead to being tracked.
