Yeah, they are talking about platforms, not protocols.
Lemmy.world is the platform. Or mastodon.social. Or Gmail. Or Outlook.

Email is not a platform, though.
Imagine using dailymail as a reason for why news are factual.
Interpreting that into the ad is just seeking for something to be annoyed about.
The post is about true wireless earbuds The comment is about how lemmy makes it about jacks and wired earphones for no reason The counter point is that wired earphones last decades I said that the market for them is already satisfied, while those are the first fair true wireless ones, which is great
Now how is it irrelevant? I seriously don’t understand what the problem is, and I also don’t know what kind of strawman I apparently made
The whole thread is about earbuds?! Where do jacks on phones come in all of a sudden?
On true wireless earbuds? How?
So you basically said there’s no need for fair wired headphones because cheap 20€ chinese wired ones perfectly serve that market?
Even better that fairphone builds true wireless earbuds with all those fair features, because there is no alternative there already.
Lmao. Just because I disagree with you? ^^
Nope, doesn’t need to end in lung cancer for it to be bad.
Take it this way:
You can drive motorcycle for hours every day for years and not take any health casualties from it.
You can’t smoke cigarettes every day for years and not take any health casualties from it.
Motorcycles aren’t bad for your health. Crashing them is, but just driving them isn’t, even doing it a lot. Unlike the other things you mentioned where doing them a lot is unhealthy.
I use brave because it doesn’t apply chrome or edge group policies. If someone can tell me a better chromium based Browser (or firefox based) that does this, I’m all ears…
Are most of your services just a single pod? Or do you actually have them scaled? How do you then handle non-cloud-native software?
They don’t need to be. When you’re posting a comment, that’s a database query. Not from you directly, but you’re submitting a comment, which tells the frontend to tell the backend to tell the database to save that comment.
Now do that a thousand times and you created a thousand database queries. Now do something more elaborate, like filtering search results or something, and you put a bit more load on the database.
And apparently there seem to be some queries that a user can create that cause issues if submitted by the thousands.
My point is that you can’t compare a platform like reddit to a protocol like email.
While gmail and outlook are insanely big, how much of all email traffic do they handle? Sure, they are insanely big, but I doubt they are above 50%
On the other hand, how big is reddit compared to all other link aggregators? I think it’s pretty surely far above 50%.
Or how big is YouTube as a VOD platform?
I’m not advocating for discuit, but being like “they think federation can’t build a mainstream platform, but look at email” is kind of missing the point.
Also email is the only example for federation. It’s an outlier, mainly because it was one of the first things on the net. Everything else is platforms, unfortunately.
