I like these federated services being kinda "rough around the edges"

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

As a soon to be 30 yr old this reminds me of the internet I grew up loving lol, feels just the right amount of old school to me
When I see the notifications popup in the top right corner, it surprisingly reminds me of old FB. Back when instead of an app buzzing in my pocket 24/7 with notifications that are actually just ads or BS, I intentionally choose to log on, see the notification, and think "Oh, someone interacted with me, let's go see what they said."
Oh man, I never thought about that, but you're 100% right. I've had this nagging feeling of nostalgia while using Lemmy for the longest time, and that's exactly what it is.
It’s beautiful and I hope the rest of the internet has a revolution like this.
Idk much about servers or anything but I hope someone finds a good way to replace YouTube next
That'd be PeerTube, but federated video is hard. It's very expensive in terms of bandwidth and storage. In comparison, hosting a mostly text-based website with very little embedding of images and no embedding of video and sharing it with the world is relatively easy.
