Makes sense. They make startups, many startups fail for all the reasons highlighted. Some don’t. That’s the point of using competitive forces to create an industry when you don’t know how to do something well. They did it with their EV industry, among others. I think they’re finishing the competitive stage where many firms fail and entering the consolidation phase.
Good stuff. Donated.
This sounds somewhat similar to what circles used to be in Google+. A collection of users that can be created and followed.
Wait, I thought you’re French, dad sniffing the Fox from France?
No need. Multiple communities provide redundancy against instance failure, just like instances provide redundancy. If .world is dead tomorrow for whatever reason, even temporarily, I’d post an article here, or vice versa. People subscribed to both would see my post in either case. If I were more diligent, I’d even cross-post to both when both instances are up. Then none of my posts would be lost if one of the instances goes. Subscribing to multiple communities of the same name/type is the norm on Lemmy. There’s no need for same-name communities to be unique, quite the opposite.
Doesn’t look preachy to me. Reasonable opinion stated reasonably.
That was a good reminder to renew my donation in LiberaPay.
Thank you!
Damn this hits hard.
This word salad sounds expensive. It probably won’t make it into my ZFS pool anytime soon even though a mirror of these would be nice.

I see there’s an instance blocking feature making its way into 0.19, nice.
Thank you for the work. I’m already subscribed. I hope more folks would follow suit as their means allow.
Yes. You can even use it outside, connected to the NAS via USB. 😁
Support development
There’s no present danger of making the development team rich enough to dismantle the capitalist state. The funding is yet to reach normal subsistence level. You can see the sums collected in each of the platforms.
I’d argue no state has any shortage of money, not only PRC. Financial capital in fiat systems is factually unlimited. The ability to direct it in areas of public interest instead of private financial capital’s owners’ interest is what the PRC has over many others. The real limits are the real resources that are needed for that industry and a major one is highlighted in the article - the lack of expertise. But this exercise, along with investments in higher education and pushing boatloads of people through it are building that real resource.
