If the goal was really to sell educational materials, then yes, those 16,000 people are the vast majority of people who would ever buy intensive Lakota language instruction, and that's why he's refusing to donate.

There are a small number of linguists specializing in Native American languages, and probably an even smaller number of non-Lakota amateurs. For the rest of people, a YouTube video will satisfy their curiosity and they would never pay for a full course.

But it would be a dick move for them to spend all that time with a community for the purpose of preserving an endangered language, and then make it harder to preserve the language.

True, but Cubans are the only Hispanic group I know of that lean Republican as a whole.

As a millennial with gen Z teens, theirs is worse, though somehow not illegible, lol. They just write like literal 6 year olds.

I thought the point of paying servers a living wage was to make tipping unnecessary.

I was one of those 350 complaints. Submitted one after her ridiculous testimony.

Relay is that best reddit app that I used. I'll be sad to see it go, because I'm not subscribing to a service to browse reddit.

No, we are not getting any Beehaw posts from Beehaw, and nobody outside of lemmy.world can see any of the posts in question.

The only time we see any posts that say Beehaw, it's because someone from lemmy.world is trying to post there. Nobody on Beehaw, and nobody on any other instance can see them.

Go to another instance and check the Beehaw communities. Posts created from lemmy.world aren't there.

No, check from another Lemmy instance. Those posts aren't there.

Yeah, but then is Beehaw just going to defederate with every instance that has open registration or limited vetting, past a certain user threshold?

That includes lots of instances. Kbin.social has open registration and is growing, for example.

At that point, is a federated social network really what served their goals?

[-] crwcomposer@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

Yes, but in their post they wrote about how the large influx of users from other instances made their specific goals too hard to accomplish.

It wasn't a philosophical difference with lemmy.world, which is a case that federation would have worked well with, it was simply that there were enough new users that they couldn't maintain the tighter moderation that they want. And that's fine, they have the right to administer their instance however they'd like, but if they are having trouble with new users from lemmy.world then they're going to have trouble with any federation with enough cumulative users.

Beehaw has good intentions, but I don't know if those intentions are entirely compatible with the fundamental architecture of Lemmy.

Unless all of the other instances defederate it, people will still see the content in their feeds.

Instances with funding sources will have the best hardware capable of supporting the largest communities, and will have the most activity, but then aren't people's feeds still influenced by capital, like with reddit, in the end?
