Blockchain is well suited for storing authentication and provenance information. The Fediverse could benefit from blockchain stored instance, user, and community metadata.

Proof of Stake will keep actual resource costs maintainable, and Blockchain does do some cool stuff for decentralization, and therefore federation. Right now Lemmy instances are tied to DNS. Hopefully in the future they will be tied to cryptographic assets. Distributed Autonomous Organizations are a great example of the potential.

Hate to say it, but I agree. I don’t like paying subscriptions, but I’d rather pay for something I can rely on than constantly have to move around. No one instance is going to be able to charge high fees because of competition, but some are going to have to charge maintenance costs.

TBM I'm close to posted this in a Forum. I just had to bite my (digital) toungue there to keep the peace, plus I wouldn't even know how to respond really. A lot of it is good advice, but it feels like I'm in crazy world when I read it, knowing what I now know.
This is my new favorite source of news. Social media and individual sites become echo chambers and GN challenges the reader to break through their blind spots.
