  • Ive never heard anyone say that its ethical for someone to be a billionaire if they are Gabe Newel.

    Ive heard people say they like steam and would prefer to do business with a non-enshittified private company.

  • What the fuck are you even talking about?

  • Sounds like some sovereign citizen bullshit to me.

    People deserve more control over their data and lives but lets not go kidding ourselves.

  • What is the link for?

    Why would this prevent us from doing anything?

  • Yeah agreed. Who am i cutting out by joining this instance

  • Thanks ml

  • Id like to see some polls tbh.

  • I dont think i ever used that on reddit. I dont expect volunteer devs to meet my list of demands to make lemmy like reddit, i just want ideas like this to be considered by their merit instead of community members shitting on stuff solely because reddit is doing it and "we arent reddit".

  • Thanks.

    I was frustrated because it seemed like people didnt want more people here, which is what prompted the post.

    If we do agree we want more people here then im happy.

    I mean honestly maybe this is a good project for me after im not so busy. I dont think we need to parse every new user to an ideal instance, but have a starting instance. Simple as that. Treat lemmy as if it were one website without additional instances and the only thing that would drive people to move from the default instance is their own motivation to customize their experience. So yes it would be a very simple, but inherently biased sign up.

    Personally i would love to understand better what instances are viewable to other instances to help make such a tool but i havent set out to research that myself.

    Sorry i dont have time to discuss further today, i appreciate your comment.

  • Lemmy.world users, and maybe other instances.

    Its not about demanding new features from people who volunteer their time and money, its about the community being understood and maybe having some consesus about what we'd like to see because i do imagine the people who manage this instance care about what users want.

    And its nice to talk about these things directly instead of having people speaking for the instance in a hundred conflicting ways in random posts.

  • And thats totally valid and also i hate you

  • I havent really kept tabs on how the "everything" feed works. Does it show posts from small communities here and there? Or is it the most upvoted stuff over the instance?

    Some engagement algorithms to showcase popular posts from smaller communities seems like a good way to get people to branch from politics abd linux a little bit.

    Edit: scaled view is really what im describing and already exists

  • Its just confusing to me because lemmy is made to give anyone their preferred corner.

    Asking for low barrier to the largest instances (entry points for new users) seems like a different ask than for professional lemmings to give up their platform.

  • Severance!!

  • I dont understand whats different about starting from nothing and curating your feeds... versus starting from a good default and curating your feeds.

    "Professional users" can disable or customize however they want. And it seems like a new user thing anyways... where established users wouldnt even notice a difference.

    Its literally just a more compelling starting point.

    I think proving that we dont need to be big commercial platform to be a big platform is an important milestone for foss. Big platforms should appeal to the masses. Any instance that wants to break off is obviously fine but when we are talking about the popular entry points to lemmy... thats where we should not be elitest.

    Thanks for your comment.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Where do we really stand on supporting reddit migration? We want to get people off corporate social media right?

  • You getting downvoted for this is hilarious.

  • Oh look a sane person.

  • Ah thank you so its just a convention.
