Lets kill twitter by a boring ”X”

Im surprised how few people know about nix, nix or guix is the best distro.

The average users will show up when their friends start using it and talk about it more.

This is what OP concerns, we need to get the people, young people in particular.

The official web ui is ugly and unbearable. I am on liftoff which is decent.

We do need to attract young people, this is what social media do as well, very important.

Matrix protocol as a replacement for discord

I would like to see the host push ads, so that it’s sustainable. It doesn’t have anything negative to the community except it will sustain the instance do does the Fediverse.

I don’t want to be telling the devs what to do with their software, but it is crucial for an everyday app like this to be open-source bc of privacy and security.

I want to know the software I run is secure.

I watched his recent interview (only for 10mins) but he described Reddit quite accurately. Namely, reddit(or platforms like ours) is a city, a city is living only if people are living. Also, he knew that very minimal and subtle moderation is the right way.

It sounds like a CEO who knows its stuff, but facts have been shown his actions and attitudes are outrageous. The moderation was good enough to reach success for 18 years, only bc people do it for Reddit for free. He only took the free ride on it.

The biggest problem I have with this guy is that the API charges is really selling people knowledges and memories as a product. It is supposed to be free and open. He is taking all the profits as business with no promises or giving back to the community. This model simply doesn’t work well with us, I would rather stick to decentralised model as long as it is reasonably efficient.

Can’t agree on this.

Small irc network and reddit-like public communities are vastly different. Both have their worth. Lemmy is surely capable of either of them.
