  • While I don’t agree with OP’s view that the world as a whole is anti-intellectual, I also wouldn’t assume that these people don’t exist at all. I’ve personally had interactions with people who thought less of me or others for having a higher level of education, and (at least overtly) not in the sense that they were jealous. It was more of a general antipathy against people who know things / enjoy to learn, because they saw them as arrogant etc.

    But this is probably more an example of tribalism.




















  • The obvious way would be to just not cache content locally and always link to the source instance. While this would concentrate the strain immensely, it would also greatly decrease the storage space used by all other instances.

    There might also be other viable alternatives such as using a CDN and having it selectively cache content which is requested often etc.

    ~~As of now, Lemmy does not support either, though. ~~

    Edit: I want to clarify that I was partially wrong - Lemmy only locally caches content which is hosted on outside sites. It does (should?) not cache content that was directly uploaded to a Lemmy instance and just embeds the source media.
