What is the actual downsides to the fediverse? If anyone has resources for learning about it, I'm digging in this week because I've generally always avoided it.
If Lemmy had zaps, and by extension other federated social medias, would it not enable them with the same financial incentivizes we see on Nostr?
Nostr feels like it's caving under its own shortcomings, but us who use it regularly aren't going to just "give up" zaps.
We can't expect twitter or large platforms to integrate zaps, but why is the fediverse seemingly barren of them as well?
From what I gather, federations may have moderation policies that users disagree with.. but that leaves the door open for competitors, right? And I assume any instance can opt out of federating? Are there like different federations within the same ecosystem?
