Comment on Federated 3d printing design hub like Thingiverse?

  Fediverse itself is still “early phase”

  There are plenty of proposal of features social web community, handled W3C organization, such as easier way to find content (if the instance want it to be public.)

  There’s definitely a value of community being able toset up instance of their own 3D pirinting models.

    Yes, because everything needs to be a social web. Fuck off with that nonsense. Sometimes a database just needs to be a database. The last thing we need is more echo chambers in every damn hobby.

      There are always needs for self-hosting for everything.

      I can see some education institution set up their 3D model instance, and make it federated with other entities.

      The problem is content discovery, right? As I said before, people are working to fix that right now.

      Social web is basically similar to early internet, where discovering new things is hard.

        Yeah, I don’t need to make friends to find stl files. A database with a lookup function will do fine.

  I’m not against distributed storage but treating a file catalog like it is a social platform seems like being a hammer seeing everything as a nail.

  I don’t want to have to dig through 100 communities all spread out to find things.

  So don’t. Hang out on Lemmy.world. You’ll be fine here. It’s as centralized as you can get. All you’re really asking for is to deny others the ability to choose or run their own instance and still be able to talk to you, like I’m doing right now.

    You realize a bunch of instances have blocked/defederated Lemmy.world. exactly the kind of fragmentation I’d like to avoid.

    This is a hard pass.
