When trump is out of office the dems need to do something crazy like publicly execute every member of trumps team for treason. Its the only way to signal that what he did was treasonous.
I wear my socks whichever way they are when I pick them up. Also wtf are toe socks. After reading it I thought you meant socks with holes but now I'm picturing a special type of sock that fits around each toe. That sounds like a nightmare.
Gimp doesn't have a marketing problem. Its well known its just that not many people like it. It is not a nice program to use. I think gimp3 fixes a lot of the janky ui but I'll have to try it out again
Yeah because reddit (and Lemmy) are different to what a lot of people are used to. Users coming from things like tiktok or Facebook need to lurk a bit before posting so they get a feel for the culture.
It is gatekeepy but its nessesary in my opinion. However I can see how the karma restrictions are super jarring for new users since it takes a while to get especially if your comments are always buried.
Mozilla should partner with all the Firefox forks to make them all as good as possible. Pool the ideas and developer talent to make Firefox a innovative browser platform. They can ship flavors of Firefox. Librefox for the fossheads, Zen for a speak tiling first experience etc
How are they going to make money? idk fire everyone who isn't in marketing, product management or engineering. Sell ads, sell subscriptions, take donations. Do normal stuff to make money.
Will commenting here federate the comment over to that video?
I think for fedi and Foss the solution is to locally trans the stuff you use and then you pay monthly. This shouldn't be a large payment to each service. Maybe a few cents.
That should still pay more then ads because ads are like 0.03cents a view.
Its not unrealistic. I don't think anyone expects 50% or 100% of users to donate. Also sites sustained off ads get less than a few cents per user. Donating literally anything puts you ahead of an ad supporting user. If Every lemmy user donated a dollar a year there would be 500k in rev to support the development. When the culture shifts from everything must be free to everyone giving a little to the services they use we can easily fund the costs of these platforms.
You can host an instance very easily on low spec hardware but its a lot harder than giving a small donation.
In the sims modding community people pay $5 for a dress and modders make over 100k a year. This is because sims players are happy to pay for things they find valuable.
You bring up some good points and I do believe that the model that Lemmy use can insulate it from a lot of those issues.
People posting whatever they want wherever they want and having very little understanding of nuance in language
I dont think this would be a huge problem, mods can remove unwanted content and instances can decide what type of users they want to accept. As for misusing downvotes I think that issue never has ever mattered and the difference between reddit and lemmy is we have a open source algorithm to decide how content is served. If anyone can think of a better way to server content they're free to put that in.
moderators becoming more power hungry
This is an issue on every platform but Lemmy is more insulated against it than reddit for two reasons. First is that we can have the same community name shared across servers. On reddit once someone gets the catchy community name they can camp it forever. On Lemmy you can just make the community somewhere else with the same name. Second, each instance can decide how it wants to moderate its communities on Lemmy ML they are OK with power hungry mods but on other instances its frowned upon. On reddit its ignored completely.
One thing that makes Lemmy better is that its made by the users for the users. We have the code, we have the protocol its built on. This means we can have Lemmy tailored to however we want. We are not at the whim of a massive company that only cares about profit. If I have an idea for a feature i can goto the github and suggest it, better yet if I could program it I could help build that feature. If I dont like a change that is made by the lemmy devs I can fork the project and remove the change and still interact with the rest of lemmy.
