  • We have to solve the money problem!

    Jump

  • Feddit.dk is not a huge Lemmy instance but I've managed to not have to pay anything so far due to generous user donations. It works quite well I think. I think Mastodon is just not quite as effective in gathering people like this to donate, that's my guess at least.

  • Friendica's marketing is terrible.

  • It's very early. I have a prototype backend server and I'm currently starting work on the frontend. If you have any inputs on features, UX, UI, or anything else that you maybe are missing from existing fediverse apps, I'd love to hear from you, as some preliminary feedback. But again, it's early so there is not much to track yet. But thank you for the interest :)

  • But you're not saying it's just "precursors" - it sounded like you were saying the fediverse will never become mainstream. Never is a long time, I would say.

  • Propaganda is definitely not on the list of planned features, haha :)

    Appreciate the sentiment, I hope it will one day be worthy of donations :)

  • Don't want to shout too much about this yet as it's still super early but I am actually working on a new fediverse app that I plan should be covering the same sort of use cases as Lemmy, Mastodon and Friendica, all in one application. With a big focus on user friendliness, easy onboarding and such.

    It's still super early but drop me a private message if you're interested in helping or just hearing more.

  • I don't think that's true. That's just defeatism talking.

  • Isn't it a good start in any case? I would not say that it is pointless to start with this.

  • Slrpnk instance is down till mid July; they might relaunch their server on piefed.

  • That is, in theory. In practice, it can make a big difference. Source: Worked professionally with large services built in Python and Rust.

  • You might want to seek professional help in that case.

  • Besides mod logs, is there a better way for the Fediverse to keep track of malicious actors, such as Kiwi farms members, Nazi apologists, and genocide deniers?

    Jump

  • I meant more like trust in communities and admins. If you can trust that the admins and moderators will do their task well, you shouldn't have to worry about keeping track of these users yourself.

    Karma in the style of reddit is not and has never been a great proxy for whether a user is "good" or "bad". It mostly just says something about how active a user is and for how long they have been active, and how much they agree with the hivemind. Agreeing with the hivemind is not necessarily the criteria you want, as that just leads to more echo chamber situations.

  • I don't know, I've never done meditation. I don't think you have to overdo or overthink this. It's more about letting your brain have some moments of rest from stimulation. We're currently stimulated all the time. It's not healthy.

  • Tip for anyone dealing with this: it's not just a sleep hygiene thing. You're thinking about all those things because you didn't give yourself space to think about any of it during the day. Try to just sit without looking at your phone all the time. Try to have silence when you'd normally listen to music or a podcast.

    Basically, try being bored again. You'll find your mind will fill in with these thoughts and you'll have an easier time processing them when you don't have the pressure of needing to sleep.

  • Trust built up over a long time through well moderated communities is my bet.

  • Not sure I like this though. That kinda stuff can just as easily be used to enforce echo chambers and censorship.

  • actually starting a new instance on the same domain name would be... very weird, potentially extremely problematic. The system would not be able to tell apart users from the old site and the new site.

  • On the other hand, as far as I can tell, they only called for new admins/mods 4 months ago and not since then. I agree that if you care about something, you should support it and not wait until they cry for help, but there is also a matter of being proactive and transparent about how volunteer recruitment is going (well or badly).

  • I don’t believe admins should voice their opinion in this way

    Why not? Not every instance has to be neutral on all points.

  • That is a terrible and wildly inaccurate analogy. Running an instance is not comparable to a nature reserve
