Unfederated news thread? Unfederated reddit? *i then struggle to explain reddit
Is it social media? Is it a forum?
I live around more tractors than people for context of my audience. I can explain what unfederated aspect is no problem but i sould like my grandpa describing facebook to his older siblings when i try to explain what a lemmy or reddit style forum is to my peers and family.
But it’s not “unfederated”, it is federated.
Not that that necessarily matters when you are describing it. That happens to be a feature of the software architecture. Users might not care about that detail so much.
I would just describe it how you would describe Reddit. So then the question becomes how do you describe Reddit? I might call it a link aggregator. People posts links, and then users comment on those links.
Huh yeah i knew that but always used the term unfederated and this is first time im being corrected on it lol
“Federated” or “decentralized”
What do you think federated actually means? Because calling it unfederated makes no sense
Its built in for me to default to hating federations. Lol I understand the federated context, idk why ive just always thought it was unfederated and google’s peers of coorporate whores were the federated. Noone ever corrected me until I made this thread.
