When I say centralization I don't mean letting a few control the many. This is what I mean.
Figure out what the alternatives are for these sites we don't need several Twitter alternatives.
Each site needs a front page, Accessible on the Fediverse front page. This allows people to easily make an account.
There should be one main site which will be the largest instance, people can edit the UI to feel how they like, but we need to allow communities to grow big.
To safe guard against point 3, fund the sites with 100s or thousands of co-equal owners. Say you get 5K people donating $5 a week to each site, they each get 1 stock or piece of the "company" and now it prevents a reddit or twitter situation.
The final thing, we need Fediverse user accounts, where once you make an account on 1 site you are automatically signed up to all of them and anyone can follow/subscribe and follow on all platforms, leading to a more cohesive biome
While I can see why people might prefer it that way, we are preventing communities from growing and allowing people to find communities who might want to switch from Reddit. If you prefer the UI of one to another now you have to create a brand new community which is going to take time to fill. I use old.lemmy.world because I like the old reddit UI
I'd say it should only apply to adults, airlines are a business which means they aren't likely to willingly ban a paying customer unless they deem them an absolute liability. I can see potential situations where staff intentionally instigates the situation but it would be rare and they'd need to explain what happened which is harder to lie. Plus in the age of social media someone is probably filming right at the start to show who's right or wrong
I prefer voice mail, If it's important enough send it, if you're not a contact and there's no caller ID I'm not picking up, I'm not screening your call I don't want you to know I saw the call.
Reddit started in 2005 and actually used bots to give the illusion of activity before it got big, it was a place for communities to have a hub and explore others when nothing like it had existed. Lemmy doesn't have that luxury people who don't like reddit for 1 reason or another will go to Lemmy if they know it exists.
The rich pretend they're all powerful but really they have a much less secure money source. Where as we know our money is ours the rich can lose everything like that. Elon could go broke in a single day he's on his way out of the billionaire club because now everyone hates him
We could use gene editing to get the DNA of an organ and use it to clone a copy inside a pig for example and then use it for the patient.
While I know someone have benefits being a carrier in the west has zero benefits. People should at least be able to sign up to be test subject if they have a chronic or terminal illness
When I say centralization I don't mean letting a few control the many. This is what I mean.
