   @p @0x4E4448 @Zergling_man @graf @thor As far as I can tell what you're doing is that you're setting up a situation where people subscribe to multiple instances. I've done that already. What's so special about what you're doing?

     @Zergling_man @0x4E4448 @graf @p @thor I don't see the use case. Until people calm down with the banning of instances, just have multiple instances. Why put another layer on top of the whole thing? It strikes of brittle code.

     Having run FSE since 2018, you could either take my word for it when I say there's a use case, or you could stick around long enough to understand the use case, or you could continue to believe there isn't one. Those are all completely fine with me as long as I don't get peppered with questions about it. I don't need to justify the software's existence to write the software.

     Ha, they're not going to calm down. I like your optimism; I was in that camp a while. "Just have multiple instances" doesn't work for me: I'm here, just here. Anyway, it's not about instance-blocking, it's about resilience; it is just a pleasant side-effect that it obsoletes instance-blocking.

     If it were brittle, FSE (which has partially incorporated this code) would have fallen over way sooner.
     
     I am old and have been doing distributed systems for a very long time. Centralization is a very large problem on fedi. If FSE dies, FSE dies; if any node in a P2P system dies, the network is unaffected. Instances can and have died, permanently. Registrars revoked records, hosts kicked them off, Cloudfed kicked them off, sometimes an instance was just hosed with no backup. I aim to solve this problem.

     @peterweyand @thor @graf @0x4E4448 @p As far as I can tell so far, it's basically p2p fedi.

     @p @0x4E4448 @Zergling_man @graf @thor you're marketing smacks of bullshit. Resilience my ass. Publish or post a github repo. In the meantime I officially don't give a shit.
