Size and commercialisation generally go hand in hand. After all, how do you keep something running with infinite users submitting infinite content for free?

This is a big issue for everyone, it’s important that the fediverse understands that size might some day increase the importance of sensible business models or proactive funding initiatives to counter the growth. This doesn’t mean harmful profit models necessarily, but it does mean keeping revenues under control for individually run nodes or for archiving services for old fediverse domains that might not exist forever.

Continuing work on getting variable sliders (inspired by Geogebra) in Graphs. You can do pretty fancy stuff once this is all in.

The dream is to eventually be able to output these as GIF's. But have no idea yet how to get started there, getting the design and behaviour right here has the first priority.

@drq the problem part is, these people are common in upper management

På tal om integritet, så tittade jag igår på Dödsdansen av Strindberg, som han skrev år 1900. Den ligger i två versioner på svtplay. Bl a diskuteras möjligheten att kunna kommunicera utan att någon lyssnar.

KAPTEN
Livet är konstigt, och vi också!

[Det knackar i telegrafen.]

KURT
Vad är det?

KAPTEN
Det är bara en tids-bestämning.

KURT
Har ni inte telefon?

KAPTEN
Jo, i köket; men vi bagagnar telegrafen emedan fröknarna talar om allt vad vi säger.

KURT
Det måtte vara ett fasligt samhällsliv här ute vid havet.

I don’t know, size made it pretty bad. Subreddits with hundreds of thousands or more users create environments where no one is trying to have a discussion. People are just vying for attention. That creates an environment where comments are either all jokes, or all snark. It’s really, really hard to have anything that resembles a human experience in a place like that. People stop recognizing each other as people, and just treat everyone as an audience.

That makes for a pretty bad experience.

Also, is a 2 day ban really worthy of an indignant post like this?

Yes. Why is this even a question when we all know it’s part of a bigger trend with that awful instance?

Wasn’t worthy of a post, yet it’s worthy to look at and comment on? Lol.

Genuine discussion is good, which is exactly why I view banning people for saying things as minor as what I said as insane. I’m not just blanket statement assuming all Russians are bad.

Didn’t see it was two days, may as well be a lifetime ban though now that I know the mods ban for effectively just mentioning other countries. It’s bizarre.

Estimated costs and expected duration of the impact (until the next storm/surge) should be included 😑

A position like "we would accept contributions made with slave labor" demonstrates how a schematically exclusive focus on personal liberty gives FOSS advocates permission to suspend all other ethical considerations when it's convenient to do so. Any genuinely liberatory movement must build from a recognition of the messy conceptual borders at which freedoms and ethics interact. Personal freedom gained by suspending ethical obligation is indistinguishable from the exercise of tyranny.

@tionisla Looks great

I don’t disagree, but I think the heavy-handed moderation was often in service of “cleaning up” to make the website more commercially palatable. Like when they pulled r/atheism as a front-page reddit.

For me, the out of control engagement bots constantly commenting on my comments was the last straw that made me leave.

Det er også uetisk selv uten sponsorlenker. Hele produktet er skapt for å inspirere oss til å kjøpe mer dritt vi ikke trenger.

Det er kjipt nok å bombarderes med reklame fra selskaper som ønsker å selge oss ting, men å pushe oss til å konsumere mer søppel er virkelig ikke jobben til Vipps.

De burde heller introdusere en anti-assistent som advarer om klimaavtrykket av skoene du har i handlekurven, og minner deg om at du kjøpte nye sko for tre uker siden. Eller bare tie stille.

Saw a post saying some shitty Christian lemmy instance was spamming bullshit on one of their latest posts, I said something along the lines of “probably Russians”. Come to find out my comment was removed and I was banned… then to find out they effectively have a CCP agent running town… lol.

I’ve seen people mention they were a garbage instance, now I know why! They said I broke rule 1 … this might just be the app I’m using but they don’t even have any fucking rules to look at lmao.

Glad they did the work for me and made it easy to avoid them.

We know…

Just amused by the juxtaposition, obviously they weren’t contradicting you (or replying to you). lol.

I’m easily amused. :)
