How does it effect your internet speed, and does inhibit number of connections at all?

The number of folks interacting too is such a night and day difference. I dabbled in some lemmy instances before all this but never stuck around being there just wasn't much going on.

They do, but the difference is I can't go to another reddit instance when they pull shit. It's not flawless, but it certainly changes the power dynamics.

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 😅

I guess I don't know what you mean by that. My point was that nature doesn't speak in any language. There are things that happen do to processes and conditions, we can describe those processes and conditions, we can use them to predict future conditions with math. But the base reality is that things simply exist.

I would say there is no language of nature; there are things that happen, and we can approximate what happens using math. Math can be used to describe basically anything, so the fact that we can understand these things through numbers is not extraordinary.

HOLY SHIT, Look at that, there's exactly three trees, its like it's reality is based on math or something :O

Also exactly how it would be introduced. Intricate puzzle the DM spent hours designing, fucking it up instantly, then just being like oh shit, lucky we had this staff the DM made during his portal playthrough

I thought they did a really good job with the choreography in the barbarian fights. Also the slap dash A plan, B plan, back up plan, back to plan B, all felt very authentic to a dnd campaign.
