  • Most communities are almost dead, we need to make a effort to pull enmass people from reddit to here

  • I don't know why people always bring this point up, like it wouldn't

    1. cause a ton of dysphoria to trans men

    &

    1. Cause an even bigger backlash by both the government and governing authorities

  • Can I log in with my Lemmy.world account

  • It could have several even as many as 100 different people with part of the key to access the center point for the passports so that any decisions would have to be unanimous and would keep things purely being monitored for technological updates.

  • Ideally on a platform similar to Gmail in its decentralized nature but connected to the fediverse and accessable through the main fediverse website as well.

    We could allow for duplicate username with a unique 10 digit code identifier allowing you to adjust your privacy settings for each platform.

  • No. There is no particular reason why there needs to be one (say) twitter alternative.

    Having multiple versons of the same type of platform artificially divides the Fediverse and makes it more likely that they'll split along ideological lines

    Heck, there is not even a reason why there should be a alternative. Fediverse is allowed to be their own things.

    While it would be awesome if we could figureout unique formats of social media, everything has basically been done, Myspace, Facebook and Linkton are the format of keep up with your friends.

    Twitter and BlueSky are the basic format for literally "see whats trending"

    Reddit and Lemmy are the basic format of Curated Community Content.

    Youtube is the basic video sharing platform.

    Tiktok algorithmic video sharing and platform which actually improves on youtube.

    It would be really hard to fine a way to make a truly unique social media site but would be awesome

  • When I say centralization I don't mean letting a few control the many. This is what I mean.

    1. Figure out what the alternatives are for these sites we don't need several Twitter alternatives.
    2. Each site needs a front page, Accessible on the Fediverse front page. This allows people to easily make an account.
    3. There should be one main site which will be the largest instance, people can edit the UI to feel how they like, but we need to allow communities to grow big.
    4. To safe guard against point 3, fund the sites with 100s or thousands of co-equal owners. Say you get 5K people donating $5 a week to each site, they each get 1 stock or piece of the "company" and now it prevents a reddit or twitter situation.
    5. The final thing, we need Fediverse user accounts, where once you make an account on 1 site you are automatically signed up to all of them and anyone can follow/subscribe and follow on all platforms, leading to a more cohesive biome

  • There is going to need to be some centralization of some form for this to work. The fediverse is a mess right now but its such a good idea.

  • oh thank you for this. That helps that specific issue.

  • While I can see why people might prefer it that way, we are preventing communities from growing and allowing people to find communities who might want to switch from Reddit. If you prefer the UI of one to another now you have to create a brand new community which is going to take time to fill. I use old.lemmy.world because I like the old reddit UI

  • Fediverse @lemmy.world

    Communities not existing on all instances is a big problem.

  • I prefer voice mail, If it's important enough send it, if you're not a contact and there's no caller ID I'm not picking up, I'm not screening your call I don't want you to know I saw the call.

    If you're a contact and I miss you send a text

  • The only thing I have a problem with is it lacks so many small things old reddit has, hard to explain. Fix them and it's perfect.

    1. Show posts and comments separately on a profile.
    2. Seeing comments should require us to click the big children not small + on controversial comments.
    3. Allowed videos to actually be posted.
    4. Show a number on the mail not just a red outline.
    5. But this is pedantic seeing karma totals.

    The first 4 would really help

  • It's undeniable that this UI is superior to all other formats of messages boards

  • Reddit started in 2005 and actually used bots to give the illusion of activity before it got big, it was a place for communities to have a hub and explore others when nothing like it had existed. Lemmy doesn't have that luxury people who don't like reddit for 1 reason or another will go to Lemmy if they know it exists.

  • Somehow make enough to pay for a legit ad

  • Fediverse @lemmy.world

    Putting ads for old.Lemmy.world on reddit would make this site perfect.

  • You think people didn't used to have jobs?

    Back then videos were a lot less produced and more raw style. When I first started using/watching youtube in 07 content was a lot quicker to make.

    "Quality" is subjective and doesn't necessarily require much money.

    The requiring money isn't about cost to produce its the time it takes. Most successful channels now have several hours of editing for each video because the average standard of videos now looks like it could be produced for TV.

    Thousands of people already are. Myself included. And it's not "just for fun", it's because we don't want to subject ourselves to abusive and invasive corporations.

    I agree with this on paper, but in practice the "customer base" is currently Youtube and TikTok. If I want to create a serious channel with a lot of views and a large community I'd need to spend all my free time making and editing videos and without a real chance to monetize its just not worth it.

  • Most people don't start making videos to make money. In the early Tube days there was no money.

    Not anymore, people have jobs which take up at least 8 hours of their day, sleep another lets round it to 8 hours, then other responsibilities. Anyone who seriously want to make quality videos on a consistent schedule wants to make money and the end goal being to turn it into their job.

    PeerTube only has 1 less avenue for monetization than YT, among dozens.

    People on Youtube are much more easily able to make money and make a living. Most of it actually has nothing to do with Youtube other than the fact that Youtube provides them with a base of billions of potential viewers.

    1. AdSense which is hands down the worst of them.
    2. Sponsors allow people to decide who they are willing to show on their videos and makes people decent money especially bigger creators. That's not going to happen on smaller platforms.
    3. Patrion this is probably the biggest one people are able to get consistent monthly income and make Youtube their full time job.
    4. Creator made subscription platforms. This is another big perk I pay for 2 curiosity stream and the history one.

    No one is going to a platform thats "just for fun" because content quality will suffer and be less enjoyable for creators.
