Lakota elders helped a white man preserve their language. Then he tried to sell it back to them.
  • Bruh, did you even finish reading my comment? I know it's fucked up. But you were wondering why it'd be such a big deal to provide them with free materials when there are only 16,000 of them. And the answer is because they were always planning on selling it right back to them.

  • Lakota elders helped a white man preserve their language. Then he tried to sell it back to them.
  • If the goal was really to sell educational materials, then yes, those 16,000 people are the vast majority of people who would ever buy intensive Lakota language instruction, and that's why he's refusing to donate.

    There are a small number of linguists specializing in Native American languages, and probably an even smaller number of non-Lakota amateurs. For the rest of people, a YouTube video will satisfy their curiosity and they would never pay for a full course.

    But it would be a dick move for them to spend all that time with a community for the purpose of preserving an endangered language, and then make it harder to preserve the language.

    Why do I still see new post from Beehaw even though they defederated with us?
  • No, we are not getting any Beehaw posts from Beehaw, and nobody outside of lemmy.world can see any of the posts in question.

    The only time we see any posts that say Beehaw, it's because someone from lemmy.world is trying to post there. Nobody on Beehaw, and nobody on any other instance can see them.

    Go to another instance and check the Beehaw communities. Posts created from lemmy.world aren't there.

    Beehaw defederating effective immediately from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works
  • Yeah, but then is Beehaw just going to defederate with every instance that has open registration or limited vetting, past a certain user threshold?

    That includes lots of instances. Kbin.social has open registration and is growing, for example.

    At that point, is a federated social network really what served their goals?

  • Beehaw defederating effective immediately from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works
  • Yes, but in their post they wrote about how the large influx of users from other instances made their specific goals too hard to accomplish.

    It wasn't a philosophical difference with lemmy.world, which is a case that federation would have worked well with, it was simply that there were enough new users that they couldn't maintain the tighter moderation that they want. And that's fine, they have the right to administer their instance however they'd like, but if they are having trouble with new users from lemmy.world then they're going to have trouble with any federation with enough cumulative users.

    Does lemmy.world really have 19000 users already?
  • Do we want the lemmy.world to be the fastest growing, though? At some point it will require server capacity beyond what the admins can easily provide, and then the Lemmy experience will be worse for those of us with our home here.

  • Lemmy is federated, but still, the instances with the most activity dominate people's feeds

    Instances with funding sources will have the best hardware capable of supporting the largest communities, and will have the most activity, but then aren't people's feeds still influenced by capital, like with reddit, in the end?
