You jest, but that has potential.

Buried cost fallacy

Just imagine how his missus must feel!

Default instances would go a long way, I know there’s a lot of hate for lemmy.world but defaulting to the biggest instance or a random one in the top 10 would help ease some of the early friction.

I'd rather join-lemmy (and join-fediverse) were smarter.

Have a series of questions (for join-fediverse add "what service do you want?"):

• Where are you?
• What languages do you speak?
• Select your hobbies from the list below:

And it then spits out 2 or 3 instances.

It's what I'd do if someone asked me directly for a recommendation and should be relatively easy to do.

As we say with someone posting a link to db0 on r/piracy, if you just say to people "this is the instance for you" and it seems relevant then they make the jump. I'm tempted to go to the main subs for Canada, Australia, the UK, etc and just post a link to the relevant instance.

It's something I've raised with the other Admins and we may see if our users would be up for swapping the default frontend to one of the others.

I know I favour this, but I may be biased.

My main tip for picking an instance is go for a region or topic specific instance so your local feed is manageable and relevant.

Run by us, for us.

Thanks, didn't realise some were unlimited. I've only just moved to peertube.wtf and I'll stay there for now. Any sign of pixelfed.wtf?

I'll see how Tumblr federation goes as I do fancy trying to find ways to take advantage of their storage capacity. However, well see...

Now that is Interesting.

I had some thoughts about getting public domain short films into the Fediverse but you'd rapidly exhaust the allowance on most instances. However, this might just be the ticket. Time to brush off my Tumblr password...

Maybe PeerTube can already do that, haven’t played with it enough to know.

You'd think Peertube would be able to.

The company released documents in December that it said showed Musk previously supported turning OpenAI into a for-profit but walked away because he couldn’t get control of it.

Sounds about right.

We should be fine, just working through it all now.

Yeah, I added that footer to the Lobster.rs post:

Cheers.

and to be sure he should join the mission.

As he can't trust his lackeys, it's the only way. Someone should definitely tell him about the Face on Mars too!

There has definitely been an uptick in sign-ups - first around the Inauguration (despite being a UK instance) and then with Reddit's pornmaggedon. In between it didn't drop back down to the old rate in between. db0 have seen a.massive spike recently too.

A lot of people are.

If Karl Pilkington says it, then it's The Truth.

Yeah. I just made it.

Olympus has fallen folks, r/rule34 has been banned!

I never thought I'd see the day.
