No, it isn’t just hype. The hype is justified.
Outside of security you have some very really world benefits, like performance gains in various scenarios as well as lots more people willing to contribute and a much better type system (more maintainability).
That’s not nit picky.
Both of those work on induction perfectly well.
I hate this mentality. There are things that are legit concerns and then there are things which aren’t. Please don’t use the same logic for taking up smoking.
I use Bitwarden for passwords and notes
Ecosia is building a custom search engine index, ETA summer 2025
Instances are stores (think Amazon or Etsy). Products are posts. Sellers are users.
Stores aren’t protected from being defederated. You can still search Google or whatever, still visit the site and buy stuff. It just will not be a unified search, just like how anything else works with ActivityPub.
The good stores would be run by admins who don’t have an incentive to defederate from others. Stores don’t make money or take a cut from sellers anyway. The sellers aren’t in charge of the instance, just like an Etsy seller can’t do anything about the fact that they have competitors on Etsy.
The need for decentralization is that the store / Amazon / Etsy is broken up but the search and interactions, reviews, etc. are unified.
I think it makes sense. It would allow a decentralized unified search across all stores. With Lemmy I can search posts as long as the instance is federated. With this I could find products.
…why do you think Twitter had anything to do with getting Musk into the White House?
That’s the whole point. That’s a good thing.
If you want to buy the app
GrayJay is free, just FYI
Addy.io + Posteo
I’ve had several places say they only deliver through DoorDash.
I thought that was a problem too, but then I realized I use email aliases (and basically everyone should too) and Addy.io and other alias services support custom domains. I have a custom domain working great and use Posteo.
Posteo + Addy.io + Thunderbird
You can do that but only under paid accounts.
What’s insecure about them?
It doesn’t matter what their definition of racism is. “Fuck white people” is racist.

Thunderbird is going hard on Rust all of a sudden. Recently they started using it in Thunderbird and now they’re starting a whole service in Stalwart (written in Rust).
Super awesome.
