Wow! Thank you so much for all of this. I’ll save all of it for future reference.

Beautiful

Suggest everything please…I’m all ears.

I wasn’t aware of that and thanks for letting me know. I’ll steer clear of the gooseberries.

Most everything on my property is perennial. So, not planting anything lately. Just trying to reduce the amount of lawn mowing by laying down landscaping fabric and covering that with bark mulch. I’ll come back next year and plant more perennials in those areas. Probably fruit-bearing bushes like gooseberries and elderberries.

One cannot be sincere / ethical and be a billionaire simultaneously.

Says who? You? Maybe they once were not that sincere and have since had a change of heart. BTW, the Gates Foundation has done a tremendous amount of good over the years.

Telling people that they have problems is NOT nice. It’s the only rule here at Beehaw in which you have broken. Take a 7 day vacation.

Yes. Those are good points.

Initial meetings and other communications like where to meet in person, etc.

Also, it isn’t ‘decentralization’ in the strictest technical sense. That’s what the Decentralization Scoring System is trying to show.

It’s meant to explain what decentralization is and is not. That’s all.

Please look at the big picture here. The Fediverse exists only because of a very niche user base that are technologically exposed to it.

The general public HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE that the Fediverse exists.

Therefore, it would take either an enormous amount of incredibly generous people to market/advertise the Fediverse OR a fuck-ton of money to pay people to market/advertise the Fediverse.

more people need to self-host, or at the very least we need more mon-and-pop style datacenters.

most would rather offload hardware costs and, more importantly, security, to those more knowledgeable.

running one’s own hardware is extremely time intensive, nevermind power and equipment costs

These three points that you’ve made are NOT accurate. I could go into great detail as to why this is but I won’t waste our time nor embarrass you.

The problem, unfortunately, always comes down to money.

This isn’t a technological problem.

All of the popular widely used corporate platforms gain more users because they have the money in which to market/advertise themselves.
