They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won’t last. They’re going full Microsoft Skype mode and it’s only a matter of time.

    platforms can be peer to peer too, with maybe a cheaper to host tracker. i think its viable for a chat app, like matrix, for example.

    overall yes though, i wonder when lemmy is gonna start having these issues, its still mostly run by unpaid volunteers…

      I think it’s why many decentralised platforms don’t want very big instances, and prefer them to split off into smaller federated sites.
