I just checked. It seems they’re using activitypub as well. So yes, they‘re sort of in the ballpark with it, like kbin. So I suppose you’re right. But the others have to follow.
Don’t worry about the bullies. You‘ll barely ever meet them. Except if you ever make it to the board of directors which is unlikely. (Not you personally, just statistics)
We really need to make this a thing again. Not only for software but for anything. And we need legislature to enable us.
Don’t like how the banks treat people? Make your own. In the USA you need 12 million capital to even open such a thing. Since 2008, the banks have seemingly no competition from new banks (source https://www.upflip.com/blog/how-to-start-a-bank).
One could say that you‘re not allowed to take any of your hard earned money out of the company until you reach those 12 mil capitalization.
I agree 100%. Commenting on an old post was different over there. But I think my original point still stands. Peeps who want this place to thrive need to make a post every now and then. :)
Exactly. You hit the nail on the head imo. I didn’t even think about this particular mechanic until you mentioned it.
People are so used go „reaction content“ and „reacting“ passively that this place does not grow as fast as it probably could if people were more creative. Creativity is like a muscle. If you don’t train it, it’s really weak.
So, I think it’s very much a good idea to put some easily visible „suggestion“ somewhere that this place will improve as much as you make it by posting original content ie questions and ideas.
Another ex redditor here. The issue seems to be that a lot of people created communities but never bothered to post something. Even my little ubuntu server community has nearly 90 subscribers by now.
We should work on more visible „you‘re here, what to do next“. Something like „go to communities tab, all, subscribe to each one you like“, missing any? Make them yourselves, but dont forget to post on them since very few people will subscribe to an empty community. 10-20 posts over a month should be a good start. Generally avoid bots since they dont boost interaction at all (my personal impression).
Or a reminder for people who have made communities but no posts. That would stress them a bit I suppose but I thought I‘d bring the idea to the table.
I‘m baffled our usernames only differ by one letter. My idea was, if you „sprayed“ the item from afar, it would cool the surrounding air and only ever so slightly touch that item. I don’t think this would flash freeze it. Feel free to correct me.
Cool question. I‘d imagine the easiest way I can at least think of is spraying it with liquid nitrogen. The challenge will be to get the nitrogen back in the bottle and keep it liquid in the meantime.
In that case, it’s a pretty good model. Thanks for elaborating.
