Premium subscription is ad free, It's easy to judge but maybe that's what he needs to do to make a decent income.

But yeah some financial transparency would be nice, maybe have a fundraiser where raising X amount of money would make it ad free.

Would help if they have a repo with a test suite anyone can run, like in science making it easy to reproduce results.

Tagging users (for example "lemmy developer"), keeping scores of upvotes and downvotes, and marking comments as read and hiding them.

See the feature requests for lemmy i made for details.

It still has advantages, you don't have to depend on some server and trust it will keep your data, you can build features on top of a certain front end and don't have to re-implement functionality and maybe even support multiple front ends.

Have you tried nix? I wonder if it works better.

I think he’d also do well to make a “this is why you should use bcachefs of ext4” sort of post to bring awareness to the project and its benefits.

Isn't that what the website is for?

It might be useful to have some sort of graph showing if the donations are increasing or decreasing, something like graphtreon or liberapay view income history, If they are decreasing (which might be the case as active user count and number of servers is decreasing), it might be an indication we should evaluate or reevaluate some things about the project.

I really like this linus torvalds quote:

Don't ever make the mistake [of thinking] that you can design something better than what you get from ruthless massively parallel trial-and-error with a feedback cycle

People have opinions but lets be completely honest here what do they know? Why not trying to build it and see what happens, it might work, btw I myself thought about having something like "fediverse greatest hits" that would show the most liked posts for a particular hashtag so maybe that could be configured to do that.

I suggest people add anything really great to !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world .

100%. I never wanna work for public company again. I left a huge one after constant thrashing of canceling projects and trips so the accountants could move money around for the quarterly earnings reports only to revive after. Went to a couple small private ones then yr ago employer went public. Been so downhill so fast. Company isn’t recognizable to the one I accepted offer from. I’m leaving when I find a private fit.

I would consult a lawyer, basically iirc you can add to the bylaws that you are not just about making money and then you are only obligated to share dividends if you keep the majority of the voting rights.

That's yet another example of why you should not believe everything you read online, see this .

milk-v is going to release a pretty powerful system, iirc i read it will be released in about 10 months, ventana also reportedly will release a server cpu in 2024.

Edit for a note: This tool does not save, proxy or store any of your user credentials or data to me, it is only ever stored locally in your browser.

Shoudn't there be some backup on dropbox or nextcloud (or even downloading a text file) for this?

I’m not sure how to deal with this, perhaps I could read your user settings for blur_nsfw and apply that as the default? Or, perhaps a toggle setting that just turns media embeds on/off completely that defaults based on the same user-setting?

Yeah default off seems like the best option, if somebody reports that i would just hide it because it is not worth the risk), especially if there are multiple reports, i don't know if lemmy has an "appeal" system but maybe that could help too.

Showing a user total karma and the number of downvotes he got could also be a decent indication.

Thanks for the feedback, i opened a bug here.

I also like nix because it is lighter on resources.

any idea why makertube does not appear on fediverse observer?

That does not seem like what i mentioned, it does not provide moderation for a fee.

How many people do you know are willing to look at child pornography in order to moderate it?

The number of instances lemmy has (about 1,000) is not even close to the number of servers mastodon has (about 11,000), so if i am trying to be objective and look at the evidence i would say the attractiveness of lemmy at least currently has peaked.
