This is also true, just makes folks look silly when they think that half of all millennial wealth is one guy.

Most people misunderstand this stat, it is not that half of all wealth is Zuck, it’s that 2% of that 4% is his.
Interesting work, and an absolute fediverse way to look at a problem lol.
Also love the rule they pointed out that instance had of, don’t do things that would make us write new rules.
I do wonder what insights can be drawn, from a skim it seems more about understanding how rules connect to each other, rather than build a broad rule base.
This whole exchange is interesting, but the second half I think this sums this point well.
Ultimately any real world problem has lots of history and different justifications, and I think mask of nuance is being weaponized to pull the conversation out of reality and into a rhetorical space of inaction.
I don’t know too much about self hosting, so it might be worth asking on a self-hosting community to see the specific issues. But from my ignorance I think there are some hindrances with smaller servers and the speed of their comments propagating through the fediverse.
Beyond that I think there is something that would jump out as a bit strange to folks if every comment or post was from @username@theirLiteralHomeIP, and If they are running on a phone their IP would be really volatile which might run into issues as well.
So I don’t think there is anything fundamentally wrong individualized instances, but there are like practical issues with it. Further, it is certainly not foolproof, but different cultures of different servers has worked well in the fediverse to allow blocking posts from spaces that you don’t wish to experience. If each user had a separate instance it would be much harder to do in practice.
Again, I’m a dumb dumb, so I would hope that someone with more knowledge can clarify, I’m just speculating on what I could see being issues 😅
Completely agree, and it’s obscene that this weird creep that made a stalking app for this college can now push industries with how much money he has in this amorphous value. But I just hope that people can be angry at these facts without being lost in a misunderstanding and think that half of all millennial wealth is one guy.
