Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

On a bit of investigation, they run a small number and have endorsed some, but there's many more that you could tell your own node or validator to trust. What the exact interconnection is it's hard to say from just some searching.
The lower computing requirements come from no mining, and no by-default storage of irrelevant historical data. A bank account with only one "node" and no internal network communications going back and forth would be a lot leaner yet, though, so it's not the exact same thing.
Yep, exactly. There's no real substitute for it if you want to use the same internet as everyone else.
It's cool that my instance let me sign up with just an essay instead of going through all the hoops you usually have to, although we're unsurprisingly having the start of a spam problem.
I do, and it has, but I hate to say I can't be sure we met. When I started out it was small and obscure but not name-basis small.
