  • It should have. This is why I joined, and in fact there’s no technology reason why it shouldn’t have. The CEO et al simply did not understand that the content creator was their customer and viewed them, somehow, with disdain—despite being anti IP anarchist types, they were oxymoronic when it came to understanding who they needed to serve.

    I think the best way for it to live on is as a software fork / side chain to BTC/BCH. Or you could refactor it completely against Celestia. Ethereum it wouldn’t work because the data shards demand too much and would cause L1 fee spikes.














  • built off of Lemmy

    Not “like” Lemmy, FWIW. Lemmy already allows for permissioned users and those servers can still be federated with something like Lemmy World.

    If you wanted to do it quick and dirty, you could have a permissioned Lemmy (like other closed Lemmy servers) whereby the permission was say, pay-as-you-go with a Stripe portal. I pay $50 for a year to be a user.

    On the other side, this user does not have permission to post content/links (this is also a feature of Lemmy today, whereby a community owner can allow only mods to post content).

    Creator-permissioned accounts (ones that can start communities and post) are white-listed effectively by the server operators.

    It is with these users that the $50 is shared after server costs are considered.

    These users can do the default which is content is posted and closed on the instance. But an “open” community could effectively be the place for free content, and those “freemium” links would be shareable with federated servers more easily.

    The real trick is: can you implement it such that I could pay for this server as a user of Lemmy World and not have to create a new account. That’s the hardest part of federated, subscription Lemmy-as-YouTube.




  • Which small farms get this privilege?

    Your thesis relies on the premise that it’s possible to elect an incorruptible politician or series of politicians to occupy the power seat required to do a particular thing. But buying politicians will always and forever be the game; so rather than put the scale there for someone to play favorites, it has to be preferable to remove the scale so the temptation cannot be revisited.

    If the government gets to pick a winner of an industry, whether it’s on paper a “little guy” or a corporation, then even if for the first few years this is working, you cannot ensure that the next guy won’t use the same tool to pick a different winner.
