  Especially BLUE lights can go right to hell.

  Good points, but hang on, I have an issue with the clustering. Let’s say I want to join something about “dice games”.

  First challenge is to find out, what such communities could even be named. My search-fu is weak so I might only find one such community, but there are others, bigger ones. How could I find them?

  Next, let’s say I find five communities on four instances. Wow, yay! Intuitively I would definitely want to join the biggest but I will also join the others so as not to miss anything. If everyone does this, it will never crystallise into one primary source.

  That may be fine for reading, but what about posting? I don’t want to bother posting on all the damn sites.

  In total, I really understand what Fediverse is aiming for here, but Reddit looked so much simpler. Like Linux (no coincidence I’m sure), Fediverse is a great idea with great features, but it’s juuust shy of being mainstream enough for the average Joe. So ultimately, the best community for my dice games… is Reddit?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happens when you try to buy a $1M domain?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like nobody pointed out the obvious here:

  Domains cost around 10-20$€£ per year. That amount is rent, paid to the registrar.

  If you find a domain that costs more than that, then you are not dealing with a registrar. You are dealing with a domain squatter that owns the usage rights to that domain name, and the price is what they demand to transfer that right to you.

  If you’re stupid enough to pay that, you’ll still need to pay the actual fee to the registrar when the next billing period starts.
