Thing is, infrastructure has more or less stalled over the last decade.

Andrei Alexandrescu, a software engineer at Facebook, very famous in C++ circles, said once in a presentation: if an engineer can optimize as little as 1%, on the software they run at their data centers, the savings (in power consumption) are enough to pay for that engineer's salary.

That's how expensive it is to run Facebook.

when you're in the business of selling data, you need to keep a lot of it, which would be unnecessary for a free speech social media alternative

Well, how are you going to pay for the infrastructure?

I work at a data center

One can go through the decentralized route.

But how would you feel about your computer being potentially used to serve ISIS or pedophilia content?

the internet needs to return to a more decentralized culture, with smaller sites that revolve around specific content or interests

twitter, facebook, instagram, etc. all these sites do is share text and video. we need to stop acting like that is so damn complicated

It's not so much the complication as it is the sheer infrastructural horsepower it takes

It's not static content though.

You do need some heavy processing power to update the dynamic part.

Rate my fursona

Is it a chirper?

Or whatever those are called

Fallout deathclaw?

Your fursona is perfect for target practice

Like all other fursonas

is it a trans wolf

Is it a drug?

destory furries

<:zucc:433402362447527936>

I actually went down a Furry YouTube rabbithole

it's a growing cult

don't

turn back before it's too late

it's the same kind of morbid curiosity that makes me watch gore

tremendous cringe

Yeah

Bakeon have a friend now

What causes the furriness?

How do i keep my children safe from furry influence

I'm especially curious about the ones who are obsessed with some particular cartoon

i bet disney is responsible for more furries than any other single entity

In my past social work job we had term called *perseveration*, the inability to let something go.

What about a disney production would make someone furry? Millions of kids watch these

poor parenting and relatable anthropomorphic animals

When I was a kid I was obsessed with Sonic The Hedgehog and had poor parents why was my dick not hard that whole time

different strokes for different folks
