Am I making up fediverse drama? No... it's the Beehaw admins that are wrong

  • I guess you haven't seen what ANY community in Lemmy looked like before May 28th. Relative to today it was a barren wasteland in terms of content numbers, whereas in terms of community feel it was tight-knit and cozy. The busiest communities had like 5 or 6 posts a day, most with 0 to a handful of comments each. Whole instances like Beehaw and lemmy.ml might each have had around 20 posts or so a day on a good day.

    Beehaw's top priority has been to keep that cozy feeling of friendliness and community even as we have grown more than 10x in size. It's not easy, and being a copy of Reddit or seeking mainstream levels of growth isn't part of Beehaw's current vision, as far as I've read into the admins' treatises on Beehaw ethos.

    • Discord, Twitter, Reddit, and Tumblr have something in common and it's not good

  • Discord is a tough one, since those communities aren't open to search indexer and archiver crawls, losing that would extinguish a lot more of our collective knowledge.

    Hopefully dedicated server teams branch to matrix or another more open platform.

    • Niche FOSS Android apps that are useful

  • Jerboa hehe.

    The one niche software I have used was Meshroom. A free alternative to software that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, to take input images, use similarities between images to place them in a 3d space, and output a 3D model.

    WebODM, OpenMVG and COLMAP are also open source with similar functions, but Meshroom is an easy-to-use one-stop shop for beginners to enthusiasts.

    • People who think Lemmy is too political and refuse to join is good.

  • Ah, perhaps you needed a translator to put things in terms this particular individual could understand. Let me help:

    • Should we abandon the idea that cancer is something to ‘fight’?

    Jump

  • Thanks for the TLDR and it's a very intriguing idea.

    On one hand, "battling/fighting" cancer kind of gives a kind of strength to the patient that they can possibly overcome and survive the illness, while struggling, coping etc. would not.

    On the other hand, the article is right that by using that term, many patients and people around them may implicitly pin the failure to fully treat cancer as a failure of the patient themselves.

    The best thing I can come up with off the top of my head is "dealing with cancer". Terms like coping with cancer imply a weakness. Dealing seems like a neutral middle-ground to portray the strength of the patient through the ordeal while recognizing that the situation isn't all in the patient's control.
