@hacktopus Yes. I mean travelling can expose you to all sorts of new things but I don't like the idea that people who don't travel are automatically closed minded.

There might be some truth in that, but I don't like how the idea is being asserted. It comes across as classist to me.

You could take the same idea and say that going on a package holiday to Ibiza doesn't count while 'real' travelling is going somewhere less touristy. You see?

Ironically, the quote about being judgemental appears to make judgement on how people get their life experience - ie. you have to get it in the right way by travelling.

@stux And it was a lie right from the start.

They just kept making it bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger.

What are your usual corners?

Thanks for including https://coding.social/blog/prosocial-web

Though linking it as "mainstream appeal" misses the point of the article, I think. Mainstream appeal is what 'growthhackers' of the fediverse are seeking. Prosocial web isn't about that.

It is about finding a new way, gaining a different perspective, on what social networking entails. It is about "reimagining social" online. Social networking is what we do for ages offline. We need natural extensions of that into our digital worlds. Where that becomes seamless, we shape a peopleverse.

Right now fedi is one big microblog, soapboxes on public squares where I can only shout this msg to you.

@nev No one’s mentioned Therac-25 yet.

Oh crap. I just volunteered.

First, here is my brief guide to Jodorowsky https://projectedfigures.com/2017/01/09/brief-guide-alejandro-jodorowsky/

It’s a lot quieter, so feel free to contribute or… it stays quiet :)

Lemmy is only one part of the Fediverse, Mastodon is there as well

look around and enjoy

Welcome, I like your energy!

Try to be an active participant, comment, vote, post if you feel like it around the topics that interest you.

And a word of advice : heavily curate your experience. block people, communities and instances if necessary to cut down on negativity/noise and you’ll have a great time here.

Hope you stick around!

CLOSE THE DOOR we’re hot boxing the place

Welcome.

I’ve been here for four years and I love it. No ads. No AI. Human moderation.

I donate a few bucks to my instances monthly and I’d recommend you do the same. Keeps things nice.

Yep, the AI bot farms finally drove me away from reddit! Lot better atmosphere here as well!

Remember to thank all the community moderators and admins that tirelessly take the spammy, horrible and bot posts out to the trash for us, so we can have this nice space without being overrun by the trash!

I kind of wish I could remember what it was like to find federation confusing so I could explain it better to newbies.

I actually worry for when Reddit fully implodes, because the ensuing migration wave to Lemmy will bring the same problems and solutions with them.

Yes, i miss some aspects of Reddit, but I’m aware of the hypocrisy that comes with that statement as well

Probably what’ll happen is lemmy.world will become the new reddit and we’ll all have to decide if we want to stay federated with them.

I welcome the schism if it ever occurs. I think it would be really interesting to see how a fully “scaled up” but non-corporate social media handles a challenge like that.

Even if we have almost exactly all the same problems reddit has, but without being a monolithic corporate platform, I think it would be an improvement.

Welcome! Glad you're liking it.

The big complaints that people tend to have are that federation is a bit confusing, and that it's no where near as big as Reddit. They're both valid, and probably won't change any time soon.

But I think sometimes people overlook the positive aspects of federation and smaller communities. Reddit is damn near unusable these days, and it's full of bots, slop, reposters, ads, and power tripping admins/mods. The Fediverse has been around for quite a few years now and still feels like a place for actual human beings with a lot of freedom to take things in different directions.

is that serious? what the fuck is wrong with people

No. They're my friends.

@arstechnica SSD caching of HDDs was terrible years ago and it will still be terrible. I removed lots of defective Seagate "SSHDs" from laptops in that era.
