Lobsters and hackernews.

Lemmy and piefed can be deviated into being used as a single sub instance as an alternative but it’s just not the same.

Other than this, we are pretty fine with the basics, it would be nice to have more people working towards letting mods be mods with proper tools without involving CLI.

Also some combo like local first acting as a PDS being able to be written by different softwares. (Basically atproto or solid yes)(yes silverpill and holos are working on this but 2 different people working on 2 different implementation of the hardest thing in the fedi doesn’t seem optimal for a network made of devs lol)

tbf op said they made a flag, not “THE” flag :)

The road to hell is paved with good intentions

Post-capitalism is just “we are the good crypto bros”. It’s true that they are not bad people, but it’s still capitalism without any doubt.

Mastodon also got the rss for user’s media, useful to follow artists

It costed nothing to say Kenya instead of Africa and Solar power revolution instead of solarpunk

While the funds pour in, yes, startup are so nice, let’s see this fully integrated vertical stack with sensor for remote shut down how evolves with time…

The same article could be done with the fediverse “solarpunk is already happening on the internet” or whatever good thing is happening in the world

Sorry I just feel like the author is sugar coating a startup, a bit de-politicizing solarpunk and looking down on Africa complexity e_e

Still an interesting read

well, it depends on the culture of the commune but let’s skip this and i’ll just focus on commune as a tool

if it’s used as a tool for escapism, good but it will never scale and ‘‘everyone should be in one’’ it’s just impossible

if, like i dream, it’s used as a tool to offload work of a group of people to allow them to make better politics because being much more resilient to capital swings, cool af u.u

obviously it’s not binary and what i described it’s not even a model with 2 opposites, but i wanted to focus on these cases

weird in betweens like project kamp are very interesting but I still think they focus too much on the being indipendent rather than using the commune as a tool for “greater” scope.

‘‘about’’ is usually always ‘‘about us’’ innit?

btw on the homepage you also got screenshots

the thing is, bonfire is not a single software like mastodon or lemmy, ideally is more like wordpress for platforms

@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com someone in the GUI should be stated that you need to allowlist gui.fediseer.com to ensure the functionalities u.u

Solved by allowlisting it

Then someone could say that foss is too much, better go open source and then the environment will have to take care of the stuff that basic licenses won’t take care of

I’d rather strive for the better and look for copyfarleft licenses

Right now I have no time to watch the video, do they talk about the fact that foss is not enough because it’s still easily co-opted by capitalists?

In order from little to bigger:

• any ssg like Zola or pelican
• mataroa.blog
• writefreely
• ghost
• lemmy :)

Gandi got sold 2 times

Basically the company went from “no bullshit” to “just another asset for some capitalist fund who only cares about extracting as much value as possible”

It would be so good to have a no profit owned or cooperative European domain seller

Wow these were a lot of questions :D

Ahah, y e s

Thank you for the answers, I’ll avoid answering back to not make a mess u.u

I already hide them and my ego is already not touched by downvotes :P

I explained in another comment why I think they are deleterious nonetheless

It’s not about me, it’s about social dynamics :)

It expresses dissatisfaction with peoples cringe bad takes

I wish this was real. In those cases the right button should be the report button anyway…

Having one vote to incentivize hive mind and another to punish a different opinion is just much more polarizing than having just the incentive only

It’s not rare to see people downvoting someone who wants an honest discussion and bringing their ideas to the table. (to be clear I’m not talking about people wanting to justify their racism or shit like that lol)

everyone freaked out that the communist devs were controlling the narrative or some shit

I must have forgotten 🫨

Hi! As you might remember, i’ve been pushing for this platform for quite some time so i’ll just dump ideas in a pretty annoying way, hope you’ll spare me :3

• do you realize that the power of the threadiverse is that a forum can even fully exist alone and the federation between them is a plus while for microblogging it’s kinda a shit to not have the big reach? basically, are you going to bring lemmy in a ‘‘more forum’’ direction or a ‘‘more social’’ direction?
• will you ever take into consideration to eliminate downvotes? it’s clear that the reddit effect is already here and people are not incentivized to read the article and comment on point or discuss less agreable stuff just because posts gets downvoted?
• if on my instance downvotes are deactivated, do they still influence my home when I browse subs from other instances that have downvotes?
• more UI mod tools! they are never enough because a community manager has not to be also a sysadmin or a linux poweruser just to take care of the community; stuff like subscribing to blocklists and allowlists, stuff like deleting cached media and so on
• how is the plugin stuff going?
• wouldn’t it be better to drop the android client and the federated wiki to fully focus on making lemmy the best federated threadiverse software? now that nodebb has federation the competition is existent (mbin and piefed were never enough e.e) and other frontends are generally cooler (voyager basically brought me back on being active here)
• can we have a lemmy-first approach regarding comunication and contributions? basically i don’t want to make a github account to push some opinions and it seems like they kinda get ignored when on the lemmy community about lemmy
• ability to merge communities having them mirrored in a basic way i guess it’s already on his way
• would be cool to have tags/flairs but i understand that it is not easy (tags could also become a way to follow stuff on par with communities, with their pros and cons obv)
• would be cool to have lists to be able to browse lemmy from lemmy in a more rss way: for example there are communities i want to check once in a while but totally don’t want em in my home and having lists would help
• changing ‘‘favorite’’ posts into ‘‘bookmarks’’/‘‘saved’’
• would be cool to have the possibility to have a favorite users list to check what your friends are up to
• any other suggestion would basically be ‘‘can this thing that forums have also be ported to lemmy?’’, i just think that lemmy has to evolve into a forum first with a link aggregator ui; it’s kinda easy to use discourse as a bug tracker and feature request tracker for example (observation made because of the previous question of using lemmy instead of github for non code stuff)
• would be nice to have word filters and user notes
• also lobste.rs invite tree would be nice
• have you taken into account that maybe offering a service of lemmy hosting managed by you could help?
• dulcis in fundo, always about empowering non tech people, what about having lemmy on yunohost as one of the curated methods by the devs?

alright i think it’s enough lol; now one very big appreciation: thank you for the rss first approach, having rss for basically everything like it was on reddit (well still miss some query rss but i understand it’s harder to do) it’s really so fucking useful and cool and i really hope that lemmy will make niche communities shine again

The filter is being a pet peeve of mine too these days

I would like to be sure that I’m filtering stuff but looks like filters on miniflux and freshrss just work on future articles so I should do something like put a filter to an rss feed I control and then post and check if it works

We can agree to disagree for the tweets but I’m not sure that I agree on the part about throwing a good organization built on solid principles because of one person tbh. Yes he is not a random employee but on the foundation board there are also people like Tim Berners Lee…
