If anything there should be SOME centralization that allows other (known, somehow verified) instances to vote to disallow spammy instances from federating. In some way that couldn’t be abused. This may lead to a fork down the road (think BTC vs BCH) due to community disagreements but I don’t really see any other way this doesn’t become an absolute spamfest. As it stands now one server admin could spamfest their own server with their own spam, and once it starts federating EVERYONE gets flooded. This also easily creates a DoS of the system.

Asking instance admins to require CAPTCHA or whatever to defeat spam doesn’t work when the instance admins are the ones creating spam servers to spam the federation.

qBittorrent is what I’ve been using since uTorrent went to shit. Well there was a brief period where I used Transmission but it’s so feature-limited.

I used to pirate games and software. Then came the ransomware, and the crypto stealers.

So I’m afraid of pirating certain things, but not because of the IP issues.

If you don’t understand why he’s doing it then you’ve never done anything of value w/r/t community projects and your opinion belongs in the toxic wasteland with all the others.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at but he’s right, it’s incredibly simple to setup a new redirect site.

I hate Elon as a person as much as the next guy, but I’m sad to see Lemmy users with the same inability for emotional override as the average redditor. How this has downvotes is beyond me.

I was using Joey but deleted it along with my accounts on the 12th.
