Being mainstream is exactly what I liked about reddit. It was the reincarnation of usenet. It has attracted all kinds of people doing all kinds of thing. Are you interested in swastika knitting? Piano jumping? Bathsponge sculpting? You can sure as hell find at least 2 other guys already doing it there.

If you come from IT, you never really quit. A little parser bug here, a small race condition there, or a fucking baking oven refusing to bake until you tell it what time it is. No hope, no escape.

I’m surprised as well. We put our posts up for anyone to replicate and republish, yet we still get mad when somebody replicates and republishes it. It does not make sense. Activitypub is an open network with zero privacy expectations.

I’m not exactly sure what it is that I’ve just seen, but I am mildly aroused.

One would think that polish is all jokes and laughs, but the course on duolingo is just “The boy is eating the bread”, or “The woman is drinking the milk”

No lagun or bober in sight.

There was a cuban peso and convertible peso, but apparently they’ve been merged 3 years ago. So the sanctions probably are the main barrier to free trade now.

Aren’t cubans still banned from using the real money?

more checkboxes == more better

Yes.

Thank you for your patience. I’d have lost my cool a long time ago.

Instructions unclear. Trunk stuck in the keyboard.

And keywords. I’m not interested in Musk or Zuckerberg in any way. Most of the articles mentioning their names in the title are just sensationalist clickbait anyway.

Activision, Steam, and GameFAQs all combine their forums about it?

That would be pretty great, tbh. But what many demand is more like cross platform multi-player than this.

If I play Overwatch, I want to be matched with other people playing Overwatch. I don’t care what network or platform they use to access the game.

Additionally, you could even automate certain decisions. Let’s say you are a pro-monarchy activist instance, and there is a post with title “Digest the aristocracy”, containing pictures of peasants playing football with the king’s head.

You could’ve easily set the following rule: if mods from both hermajesty.co.uk and puppiesandkittens.org flags the post, AND freedomforpeasants.com does not, auto-flag the post here as well.

In this scenario, even the “enemy” instance is making it easier for you to make the decision.

You can’t force collaboration

You can. There’s always the lowest common denominator. If there’s a guy peddling viagra pills in the astronomy community, it’s clearly offtopic. Most mods would flag the post regardless of their political or ideological affiliation. That takes care of the obvious spam.

• cooperation = advantage
• noncooperation = no advantage nor disadvantage

instances that have different views and rules on moderation

And that’s ok. They will do as they always did. Hide posts, or users that violates their terms of service

• cooperation = advantage
• noncooperation = no advantage nor disadvantage

I 100% agree that what you suggest could be a valid usecase. However, from my subjective point of view, people are not using it that way. Let me present an example.

There are 12 communities dedicated to Bitcoin in general. I can’t imagine 12 different points of view to discuss this topic from. Lemmy.ml somehow has 3, but 2 of them are completely empty.

All of these are mere duplicates of each other. Let’s put the technical difficulties aside, and imagine we have a global namespace, and each instance just has it’s own mod team to which users would auto-subscribe (with an option to opt-out, or use a different list). Now we have more users seeing each other and being able to react to each other. Sure, that would put more strain on the individual mod teams, but, there could be a system in place to make it easier for them to cooperate. Two or more mod teams flagged a comment? Let’s auto-suggest it for the review to the rest.

TLDR; More users, more mods, more fruitful discussion.

Then, there are more niche communities. 1 dedicated just to the lightning network, 1 dedicated just to the markets, 1 probably dedicated to trolling and memes, 1 dedicated to bitcoin from the point of view of the united kingdom.

All of these indicate their nature by the name.

Freedom! Freedom to crosspost between 20 identical communities!

Nostr is for everyone.

Just frame it as a success. Like our GM.

GM: Roll a d100

Player: rolls

GM: You’ve turned into a fairy.

Player: What…

GM: And as you look at yourself, you notice you’re naked.

Player: But I’ve rolled 90 out of a 100!

GM: Yes. The fairy IS actually the GOOD outcome!
