brbpostingFeedback about our name: someone's concerns on sharing
InEnduringGrowStrongI Iike both slrpnk and blahaj but it’s not like their domain names are magically not also part of this alphabet soup they’re talking about.
It’s… kinda the point of federation and decentralization.
Sure, Reddit or Facebook have brand recognition, they’re also centralized corpo garbage.
If a blahaj user wants to share a SJW post, but finds the sjw domain untasteful, they can also just share their instance’s URL for to said post.
This comment would be more relevant a year down the line if perspectives shifted and users begged for sanitization, but:
Is it technically challenging or financially costly or otherwise problematic to mirror content to another subdomain, or domain mask or something? I thought of this after seeing oldsh.itjust.works:
try.itjust.works leg.itjust.works share.itjust.works subm.itjust.works(2 & 4 don’t work as well as the current split word)
No reply requested unless it seems like it would be fun/interesting to type one
I’m not an expert on the specific of this, but changing the domain for the UI (as in oldsh.itjust.works) seems a lot easier than changing the domain for the backend, which includes federation with all other instances.
I don’t know of any way to change the federated stuff without breaking pretty much everything and starting over.
Maybe there is and I just don’t know about it, or maybe there could be an easier way at some point.
