Hi,

I’m hald-european, half-asian. from y expeiebce, blending in is an obvious choice. But I reallized, I’m not really asian, because I have european traits and references, and I’m not really european because I’ve asean traits and references. You will not be really part of any and both at the same time. You want to belong to a group, that’s understandable. But you are in between, or better said you are the bridge between these groups. This is what’s defining you. You can be part of each of them, using what you know about one group, and add spice or knowledge from the other. you are more that one group.

My experience, and I had a former superior who also was between 2 cultures : we don’t really fit in to one pot. we are our own pot :)

My german side love a nice german beer, but my vietnamese side loves viet coffee. I love Frankfurter, Nürnberger, Müncher sausages in a bread, but I can’t help my self with Cha Gio.

Go to group that are accepting you. And if they don’t, too bad for them, there are plenty other groups, until you find your balance. And may be it means being in ultiple groups at the same time, and that’s really really fine.

From my understanding, you can’t post to an instance, until someone from that instance either subscribes to your lemmy account or the community or search for it. This will force the intance to pull your post to that instance.

If I follow your concept “not being fediverse”, then Matrix or XMPP are not good because thy aren’t fediverse neither. I would disagree. Fediverse is only a part of the internet. Pinksky is linked to ATproto, which in deed is developped by the company Bluesky. If the company Bluesky is sold, then nothing forbid to build a new relay, however, the cost of building a full blown one is quite high. But smaller dedicated relay can be build. True that isn’t yet happening. PDS can be hosted privately already, and there are thousands non-bluesky-tied servers. Apps like Pinksky exsist and are not tied with the company Bluesky. The only part that is currently worrying me is the PLC server. Remember the very beginning of fediverse when it was under StatusNet Inc. It’s only years later that it became decentralised as we know it today. StatusNet Inc. could have it enshitiffied multiple times. I may be an optimist, the company Bluesky can go wrong, but can do right too.

« They » is « a full-stack developer whose work has largely focused on working with web technologies ». You show you dislike lone developers building their own apps.

Oh, ok for the explanation. I didn’t know about the name change. You can find on jounpeertube too. It’s only talking about plateform.

Your list shows that out of currently 986 known instances only 6 are federated to more than 500 platforms. That not a lot, and show peertube is very fragmented.

You should explain what you mean with “Peertube platforms”, are they instances or something else ? I’m curious to know how you know they federated to x number of other “platforms”. Is is shown on each “platforms” anywhere ?

That’s a huge task you are doing ! Kudos
