brave is also run by a homopobic alt right ass so…
please note: I do not support coil
I’m not a fediverse developer but as I understand it the activitypub spec identities people and communities by their domain, and does not define a way to mutate.
Translation: you would loose all your peers and your comments.
If lemmy.ml copied the databases to a new domain, then when websites start to peer again there would be duplicate comments, one from the old domain and one from the new domain.
Translation: it would require the cooperation of every instance to be clean
I’m not a fediverse developer again, this could be wrong
You can’t just change a federated domain like you can change from facebook.com to meta.com, it’s nearly impossible
Lemmy used .ml
in it’s infancy, and it’s impossible to switch domain names now.
I can attest to the cons of .ml domains
Not been able to find a good registrar. Gandi is a fake shithole, all the other ones too. I decided if I couldn’t get ethical domains I would just get cheap ones, so cloudflare.
Stay tuned for names.sr.ht, they will charge 20$ a year to allow you to register unlimited domains with zero markup, and profit sustainably without data collection from that tiny subscription fee (plus tons of DevOps). They are waving the 20$ a year for people who can’t afford it without any questions, and the platform is open source.
NOTE: names.sr.ht has nothing, go directly to sr.ht to learn more about the platform
Re ethical hosting:
I’m impartial to uberspace, so many pluses!

Hey all, I think it’s unfair for me to be the only moderator (plus the admins!). …
Hey all, if you notice any comments that clearly don’t belong here please hit the report button! In the next few days I will be checking in every few hours to ensure this community is in tip top shape. …
Email is already nicely federated, but I think it’s time for a change. Services like protonmail offer encryption between users, but you can’t host your own instance. It would be awesome if there was a spec somewhere for a federated email service that defines …
I really like this idea of coil.com, supporting creators based on how often you engage with their content, but don’t really like the cryptocurrency and the closed source aspect. Flattr seems better but is still closed source. Is there anything I can use to fund my website? …

Hey! Back after a large break from lemmy and after returning to the community it seems it is more advice focused: what is the best way to learn programming
vs story focused what is a bad mistake when you started programming
