I’m genuinely curious of a real answer on this as I have the same concerns having registered on InfoSec.pub. Apparently signing up there means I am locked to that community? What happens to my account if they shutter? It’s not like I can login using Lemmy.ca as my community.

As cool as this is, it’s not fully thought through IMHO. There’s a reason centralization tends to occur naturally. We are already seeing that with people in droves showing up on lemmy.world. for that matter who owns the instances? I’m lazy I’ll get around to digging more eventually but right now this is a curiousity.

You forgot one thing. Fuck /u/spez

That’s all conjecture of course, he could just be an insane despot cutting his nose off to spite his face like Steve Huffman.

I luled. Fuck that dweeb.

What site post Reddit is he tying into?

The decentralization has its warta for sure. I’m curious how it’s all going to play out. As an example I’m in IT so not an idiot but I’m registered on InfoSec.pub. now I’ve learned there’s better “home” nodes but even though the comments are federated I can’t login to a node that isn’t my “home” node which is weird to say the least.

This made me lol. Thank you for my first morning laugh.
