Like, has an instance gone down and if so, why hasn't there been a comparable drop in users and comments?
Edit: Thanks to @[email protected] here for pointing to zerobytes.monster becoming more aggressive against bots as the likely culprit.
Is divide by zero becoming the most based instance? How did a single bro make best lemmy?!?
I'd say dbzer0 is probably the most leftist, at least from what I've seen. I personally don't go as far as being an anarchist but can appreciate the philosophy. I probably have more in common with anarchy than democratic/plurality governance, if I'm being honest with myself.
Wait... dbzer0 is "divide by zero"?
I've been reading it as "dibzer nought"
If I were to pronounce it outloud, I would say:
D. B. Zero.
Like D. B. Cooper, lol.
the... zer(o), 0 swap is... basically old school l33tsp34k... like uh... l00tb0x, pr0n, type of ... dialect? syntax?
I thought it stood for database zero.
Lately I've been seeing a lot of comments coming from that instance that are indistinguishable from the ones I see from .ml.
Clarification: Representative/Capitalist democracy. Not all types of democracy.
I'm not familiar with it
While this seems better than a lot of others, these types of systems are very easily manipulated by mass media, so functioning inside capitalism is already a massive problem. In any case it's difficult to judge the efficacy, only with one rich protected nation as an example. The biggest thing is that labour is pacified a lot by a high standard of living, which is supported by the imperialism of the other nations supporting them.
I haven't seen a "don't vote in elections" stance myself but the fact that you can say that and not get banned is a positive.
It's a pretty cool instance. The governance is transparent with a nuanced voting system, the rules and policies are indeed based, and db0 takes decentralization so seriously that he's apparently working on safeguarding the instance against his own influence with the governance system and admin recall votes and such.
Thanks db0 et al!
That's the most based thing I've heard all year--where can I learn more about this decentralization endeavor?
That's it--I'm making an account now. This comment sealed the deal
More details in the announcement post: "Adding two new admins and introducing radical recalls"
The voting system allows for the community to decide on instance policies, federation decisions, even a process for instantly recalling admins like himself. He acknowledges that as server owner there is only so much that can be done to limit his power, but he appears to walk the walk. Cool stuff.
Db0 is super into decentralization! Everybody should make their account there!
...wait.
Welcome!
[email protected] should be it
Bc he's just that chill, obviously! 😁
