I was told on another post that doing it this way works better for mbin users 🤷

Is there one format to rule them all?

Based on some of the comments so far, some people really don't like the videos, so it's probably good to have separate communities for discussion of Loops vs posting loops. People can block this community and still subscribe to !loops@lemmy.world

It took me a few hours to get the email. I saw somewhere that they're sending out ~1 email/sec.

For better or worse, there's currently 0 algorithm. You can have any algorithm you want, as long as it's "Newest". I sort Lemmy like that anyways so it's great for me. No idea if they've got other algorithms planned.

I could be wrong on this, but that looked like it was more about discussing Loops, the project. Seemed like would be annoying to spam it with lots of videos from loops

I haven't had any negative interactions with him. I know over on this post about the doxxing of Nick Fuentes, he edited the post to add "Report all you want. This is not getting taken down. Fuck nazis.", but I see that as an advantage of the Fediverse vs Reddit. Instance admins can decide what their instance allows, instead of everyone needing to follow what's socially acceptable to advertisers.

For anyone not familiar with the Miiverse, what's attractive about it over existing clients?

Some good discussion about this trend on HN:

Lots of rain. Should be snow 😢

Another comment explains the moon landing one. It's a hexbear comment and probably not federated to a lot of instances, so copying it here:

The Moon landing line is a pretty important thing to study, actually, since we know what the rehearsed line was: “One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” Without that “a” it’s a very silly line.

Armstrong for years claimed he said the line right and that it must’ve been garbled in the radio transmission, and in recent years has been vindicated as better signal:noise algorithms processed the recording and found the missing word. Researchers aren’t blowing money to find out if Armstrong was a liar, they’re using it to develop more sensitive receivers, better transmission protocols, and more advanced algorithms to parse signal out of noise, all of which have massive impacts in other domains. An algorithm that’s better at parsing data out of noise in particular is going to be useful in loads of places like MRI machines where improving resolution will take billions in research but improving parsing is just updating the software.

Can't really blame people for defederating though. It's a slog to find the treasure in the shit. In this same thread there's both "Death to America" and "kill all honkeys" non-sequiturs. I can see why they drove off their admins in a stupid struggle session recently. I'm just waiting for another struggle session when they discover the etymology of "bad" and have to rename !badposting@hexbear.net:

It is possibly from Old English derogatory term bæddel and its diminutive bædling "effeminate man, hermaphrodite, pederast," which probably are related to bædan "to defile."

That's exactly what I was wondering. Simple objective, very difficult problem, maybe have to invent new algorithms. Kind of like this:

Here's the tweet in question: https://xcancel.com/DOGE/status/1858540521096089876#m

Anyone know what studies it's referring to?

Send interesting Lemmy links to people you know. That's how they get interested, and check it out. You won't convince many people by extolling the benefits of the Fediverse, you just have to show them that they'll be entertained, and maybe they'll be somewhat more likely to switch if they know it won't enshittify. I'd say you should send links from instances that don't federate with some of the weirder places like Hexbear though, that's likely to turn people off until they realize how the Fediverse works.

One thing that we could use more of that draws people in is posts about relationship issues. Entertaining for almost everyone, and pretty much anyone can create them from their own experience.

Great accelerationist pick, appreciated by both nazis and tankies

I switched from Tuta to Fastmail. Tuta was mostly fine, but being restricted to only their client was really annoying. I can use Fastmail with Thunderbird/FairEmail/etc just fine.

I get what Tuta is trying to do with encrypted email, but IMO they're better off joining up with Fastmail on better specs that allow for the things they want to do, instead of limiting what email clients you can use.

The best description I've seen of hotel art is what happens when you go to the store and say "One Art, please"

Thanks. The good news is that if I'm right, we both win.

Organizing in person for change and being loud about it. Part of that is helping people direct their anger in the right place by pointing out the problem. It's a lot easier to effect change when you've got a critical mass of people that are pissed off and want the same change.

In a FPTP voting system, one party dicking around and fucking up is equivalent to giving you the other option. It's not fun or cool, but it's true.

Too lazy to make the meme, but you're literally personifying the Principal Skinner meme. "Am I out of touch? No, it is the voters who are wrong."

Hate the game all you want, the DNC still failed at convincing people that Trump was worse than their corporatist bullshit, because people are desperate for change
