Subs = subscriptions.
A sub on Twitch gives you a badge and special emojis on your subbed channel (streamer).
You also have the option to gift (randomly) 1, 5, 25, 50, 100 subs to random followers (users).
A sub costs $5 in the US, you can gift 100 subs ($500) if you want to.
That’s great and all, but it still wouldn’t disrupt any of that.
Real baffled with the met resistance, this is a huge QoL that would provide ease of access for new users.
I know how the fediverse works, been promoting it since the APIception.
A global login wouldn’t break a defedaration, it would simply spit out some error such as “Your credentials are invalid, your home instance is not federated with this instance.”
I got into a link posted somewhere in a post that took me to wikipedia’s mastodon but I’m registered on mastodon.world. And this has not been a single instance, happened plenty of times with other lemmy instances.
This a good workaround, but it’s a turnoff for newcomers without this natively.
But I would use my Gmail to login into other services like Evernote or Spotify as an example.
The big difference between Meta and the Dutch government, is that the dutch government’s aim is not to compete and “destroy” other instances like lemmy.world/etc. Their instance is sort of their official digital megaphone.
Try the Top Six Hours filter
Be the change you wanna see.
As long it’s not a single one, we need 3 big main instances to reach critical mass.
Experiencing the same, hope someone reports it.
