Due to how poor twitter is run, he can’t get it back.

I wish celebs would just ditch the platform already.

    I am fairly savvy with what makes the internet work. If Lemmy is linked then it must have a central control point. This is the piece that I was unaware of. I was under the impression that each server is freestanding. I have a log in for Feddit and also for Lemmy.

    So is each instance (eg: Feddit, Lemmy.one, Lemmy.ml) on a host machine in someone’s home or is it hosted on a main server?

        Ok you made me research it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmy_(software)

        Lemmy instances are federated with each other, allowing a user on a given instance to participate in a “community” on another Lemmy instance without having to create an account on the other instance;[4] and with other instances in the Fediverse that use different software. ActivityPub is the protocol used to allow Lemmy instances to operate as a federated social network. It allows users to interact with compatible platforms including Mastodon and PeerTube.[16]>

        It works as I said. I never realised Lemmy was linked. TIL

          @Syldon Did it clear up your belief there must be a central control point?

          (If I get to that WP article I might change “are federated” to “may federate” because it is more precise, and because that is part of the methods which substitute for central oversight.
