Kagi (paid search engine): "Peertube results now show up in regular searches, plus you can filter by "source" to see more Peertube content."

  • Functionally there's no difference.

    The person I replied argued that you are obligated to donate if you want to keep Lemmy free. Right now the Lemmy developers are asking for donations, and people are saying no.

    The developers are openly communist, and if you want to use Lemmy you'll have to learn to live .ml, it's not going to change.

    • Lemmy needs more donations

    Jump

  • Not sure why you are getting downvoted, pretty much everyone is also saying they aren't going to donate for one or other reason.

  • Ironic considering the pinned post on .world is the admins asking for donations and pretty much everyone is saying "no"

    • Lemmy needs more donations

  • The comments are a full microcosm showcasing why Lemmy will stay underground and it will never overtake reddit

    • Chances for the fediverse? Elon Musk takes hit as Europeans ditch X in droves

  • Oh boy, where do I even begin:

    1. Federation. People have no idea what it is, which means that they have to familiarize themselves with all these technical concepts just to create an account.
    2. Servers. Most mastodon servers are locked, and you have to petition the admins to let you in, which often implies waiting more than a day. In other sites, you can create an account in 5 seconds, so mastodon is at a disadvantage.
    3. Lack of an algorithm. This implies people won't see the content they like, which means they have to go and actively look for content. Most people don't want to spend time doing that, they just want to log in, laugh at funny memes ans look at pretty pictures.

  • Make mastodon more accessible then.

  • Yes. People don't realize algorithms are one of the main reasons decentralized sited haven't taken off. Most people don't want to spend time looking for their content, they just want to log in, laugh at funny memes and look at pretty art

  • Even then, how many people actually left their Twitter accounts?

    I can't tell how many times I've seen people say "I'm leaving Twitter" only to come back after a month

  • That's the normal stance on Lemmy.

    It was founded by communists, so you'd better get used to it

    • For me, it's going to be Fediverse or nothing

  • There are a lot of artists on pixelfed, but lack of an algorithm makes finding them very difficult

  • He definitely has. A few years ago, San Salvador was known as the murder capital of the world, but nowadays it's one of the safest places to live.

    • What will it take to grow open source Lemmy, ActivityPub, ATProtocol, & other platforms/apps/websites?

  • Lack of an algorithm makes finding new content much more difficult. And most people don't want to spend time actively looking for stuff, they just want to log in, laugh at funny memes and look at pieces of art.

  • Also go forbid you have any criticism towards Linux.

    • The best thing you can do for the fediverse is just be kind

  • "Tankies"

    The irony with this is that Lemmy was founded by communists and it follows a lot of communist principles.

  • The real reason is that German unification was done poorly and it benefited West Germany in a very disproportionate manner.

    Most people and jobs migrated to west Germany and East Germany was left to rot.

    Couple that with the fact that communism/socialism became a big taboo in Europe and capitalism's faults were completely ignored, even when it was visibly failing.

    When you ban and stigmatize the left so much, people will turn to the only side that actually acknowledges something is wrong, and in this case, only the far right has done so.

    • YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy

    Jump

  • People expect to pay a carpenter or a plumber for their services, why shouldn't entertainers and content creators be allowed to get paid for their work?

    • YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy

    Jump

  • It is kinda bad. Especially when it comes to finding content or getting noticed

    • Heaven on earth = Communism

    Jump

  • Which is why it's a big irony when people come to Lemmy to complain about communism/socialism.

    Like, man, you are on a decentralized network run by volunteers who don't want to be monetized. You want to enjoy the benefits of socialism but at the same time complain about how bad it is and promote capitalism.

    • It’s over. America has ceased to be leader of the free world

  • It begrudgingly half-way adopted things that were already common everywhere, then for the next decades went around the world spreading fascism and ultra-conservatism everywhere it went.
    The US has always been a deeply regressive country
