Lemmy NZ

Mastodon is at risk of falling into the trap that a lot of free/open source software does, where the idea of the software being "free as in speech" is expected to outweigh or explain away deficiencies in its usefulness.

Aside from the usability learning curve he talks about, the other very pointed criticism is scalability problems that instance owners face. From what I understand, Lemmy and Mastodon are both similar in that they use the ActivityPub protocol. Could Lemmy get too big to scale and still be decentralized?

Things to think about and lessons to learn.

Don't like this article 😠 posting it in search of rebuttals. ~~The word "moderation" is not to be found anywhere in it.~~ Oops. Guess I didn't read this closely enough 🤦‍♂️

Thought this might be an interesting read for some.
