I feel like the concept of “decentralisation” is good for the consuming users and people who want to discuss an interesting topic/subject, but not really for OC/content craetors… They just want their work to be as exposed to as many people as possible (exposure -> more clients -> bigger brand/value -> profit???), and defederalisating goes against that principle.

Uhhhh I read your title as “futaverse”… a-hem.

So in order every single Fediverse instances, I’d have to include all of them? It’ll be more fun if something that can exist to globally search every instances (and give us filter to opt out of some that the user do not enjoy) instead of making it a long long string like site:kbin.social + site:lemmy.world… Like kind of how greasyfork is doing with their search engine, I like it.

Wouldn’t this just encourage SEO clickbaits more though? Also, a lot of these blogs can die over time, so it’s also not the most reliable (like the owner can die or the domain providing service has expired or some shit). Also, how can this solve the problem of confabulated misconceptions (let’s say that there are blogs that are feeding misinformation)? Without a moderating system, a comment section that can exist to engage and debunks those statements, and the upvote/downvote system… I think that it’s hard to tell reliability of the information. Feel free to debunk my doubts though.

I think that instead of the brute-force solution “Reddit alternative” like the fediverse, I think that we need a transitional period for some people to still access highly pertinent information… which can be potentially be done by self-hosting Reddit, a Reddit clone (much like with dead forums), or all that dataset of Reddit archived somewhere where it’s easy for querying and viewing for the end users. Granted, that might take extensive server capacity and violate the TOS of Reddit… (But I can’t query nor know anything more about the topic of self-hosting Reddit with the flag site:reddit.com/r/selfhosted because the subreddit /r/selfhosted is private! Oh the irony!)

Seems like how slow-ass and inept the implementation of regulation has being going to be the main problem with all these techs. Bad intention people will always try to spun off the advancement in a money-grubbing, harmful way. Nothing is ever spared.

Bruh I just registered a domain with Google Domains 2 months ago.

I only got it done through Google Domains because I’ve heard the ease of setting it up and set it up and forget about it with Netlify (since I have no experience whatsoever with website administration procedures)… how does Squarespace compare? Should I look for other services?
