Lots of options here TBH and I haven’t put much thought into it. Providing a service by running and managing software updates, migrations etc…, is one. MongoDB Atlas and Confluent Cloud are good examples of what I had in mind.

Why do people hate the “as a service” model?

The “as a service” business model is interesting. It may be a good funding path for mastodon, lemmy devs etc…

I see. I don’t know much about authorized fetch, I’ll have to investigate a bit (I’m able to follow the linked account from mastodon however).

I was able to find greg_channel@flipboard.video on this instance for example, a wild guess was that maybe lemmy expects peertube « communities » to have the « channel » string in the name but it’s unlikely 😂

Tried to follow the dot_social@flipboard.video channel from Lemmy but it doesn’t show up.

Shouldn’t it contain the « channel » string in the name ? :/

C’est intéressant si les « IA » sont entraînées sur du contenu spécifique, type manuel scolaires, livres d’exercices.

A mon avis c’est très opportuniste comme annonce. C’est facile, y’a rien à résoudre, pas d’humain à gérer, pas de salaires à augmenter, pas de recrutements, pas de formation. Juste du cash à balancer…
