Great this means I have to use Garuda or Endeavor 😮‍💨

Interesting solution 👍 Curious to see how this plays out!

Fair points. I’m warming up to the idea of making votes public so that people don’t have a false sense of privacy. I wish votes were actually private, but maybe it’s not a big deal if your account can’t be easily traced back to you in real life.

ActivityPub can’t evolve? Is there some insurmountable technical blocker?

I suspected this would be an issue and have avoided voting on controversial posts. But if everyone did as I do, there would be no open discussions about pressing topics.

It’s confusing enough understanding how federation works for the less technically inclined. I don’t think we should also expect them to figure out which instance is privacy-conscious. Privacy of votes should be baked into Lemmy. Even kbin users shouldn’t be able to see it.

If users want to advertise their approval/disapproval of posts they can use public comments in tandem with private votes.

It’s probably supposed to be a Godzilla-like creature.

Dual booting is also an option.

😭

Costs €5 but you can only play it once

Jokes aside, cool concept :)

So you’re saying zombies used to be real? 😱

Reminds me of the silverware from 2001: A Space Odyssey

I don’t really know the details of how “log in with your Google/Facebook account” works on other sites, but I imagine it’d work the same way. I’m no expert on this stuff tho.

It wouldn’t be centralized. There would be multiple instances and you’d choose which one to use to host your account.

I like your idea, though. It doesn’t solve the problem of moving your account from one Lemmy instance to another, for example, but it does reduce barriers to entry for other fediverse platforms.

Hmmm what if there was a new fediverse service dedicated to hosting fediverse accounts. You would choose an instance of that service to create an account and then use that account to register with a fediverse instance of Lemmy, Mastodon, etc. Kind of like you can login to various websites with your Google or Facebook account.

That would mean a single account could be used with any Fediverse service (Lemmy, Mastodon, etc.), all post history could be aggregated, and you could easily move from one instance to another.

Lemmy, Mastodon, etc., would have to be enhanced to accept this mode of registration of course.
