Hmm… I’m no expert, and probably not even competent at these sort of matters, but the thing that popped to my mind was “something something encryption something something trust”. I wonder if this has a smart solution.

This looks great! They even figured out Intel GPU and per-process GPU support.
@CleoTheWizard Furthermore, you can encourage creators who make OC to do the same. Many are also fed up about Reddit’s actions and are likely to agree.
The way I’d imagine official instance accounts working is the governments launching their own .gov instance and restricting accounts to only verified government officials, or corporations doing the same thing on their own official domains. Then their posts are federated to whoever wants to see them (or people can just go to the instance).
Yup, it has to be made clearer what instance a post is from. Instance icons and addresses maybe? Or is that too much clutter?
I really appreciate that Valve seems to be ethical about the way they’re going about this, at least so far. I haven’t heard any bad news nor does it raise any “extend embrace extinguish” alarms. Rare for a company these days…
Yeah, it’s literally very early days. This is new, everyone here has just flooded in, and things need time to sort out and stabilise. There isn’t a “system” that works for everyone yet. We’ll see new instances getting popular, drama and controversy, and so forth. That’s normal on the internet.
Ah, yeah. That makes me want the ability to undo a boost or have a confirmation for boosts even more.
I just wish boosting had a confirmation or a way to undo/delete (not sure if the Fediverse/ActivityPub supports this). My itchy Reddit migrant fingers have accidentally boosted several posts just because my monkey brain goes “ooh, large number” at this point :P
I think corporate instances should be allowed only as hosts for accounts of their own employees. Letting large companies dominate the fediverse kind of diminishes the idea of putting control of social media back into hands of the people. If the companies really wanted to help the fediverse out they should be donating to fediverse projects rather than trying to monopolize it.
