That's flux, isn't it?

Yep, ded. So sad.

I blame capitalism

It is a lot of fun! Right now I'm back to arch, since I don't have a lot of time, but funtoo does right those older decisions in gentoo which do not make sense in these day and age. And the updates are fast, really fast, since they use git!

The downside is the docs aren't as good. Not even close. The wiki for gentoo is a great source of information.

Gentoo isn't cool anymore. You should switch to funtoo, so you can have fun too!

I've been using kagi for a few months (6 according to my bank). It is paid. It is great. It's so good I've switched my wife to it since Google was giving her a lot of garbage (she's a non techie) and she says "it feels like Google used to be. The answers are what I was looking for. I forgot I was using Kagi"

Something like that already happened on Mastodon! Admins got together and marked instances as "bad". They made a list. And after a few months, everything went back to normal. This kind of self organization is normal on the fediverse.

Votes were just a number on reddit too... There was no magic behind them, and as Spez showed us multiple times: even reddit modified counts to make some posts tell something different.

And remember: reddit used to have a horde of bots just to become popular.

Everything on the internet is or can be fake!

Yeah, but now you're moving trust from the instance into trusting masto.host...

Would that be possible? How would other (normal network) instances federate with you?

If you don't trust your admins, you can host your own instance. That way you'd control what is federated and with whom.

Buuut your server ip would be public, so idk...

It was late yesterday and I didn't realize I made it sound scary! Yes to all you said! The heatsink is a great idea, too.
