It’s not artificial reasons. This is just how markets operate. Once they’re pared down to a handful of players, they split territory like gangs.

This is the late-stage capitalism people keep talking about. This is what it looks like. It’s the normal, natural progression of the system.

I’ve never found any real issue with the interface. Now, their website…

Instead of recommending “peertube” itself we should point to servers that have open registration

I’m generally an advocate for doing this for the entire Fediverse. “Mastodon”, “PixelFed”, “Lemmy”, “PieFed”, etc., are not places people can go to experience the Fediverse. They’re pieces of server software that let you stand up websites, just like WordPress is. You’d never tell people to check out “WordPress” when you want them to see some restaurant’s menu or to look up your business or whatever. We shouldn’t be doing the equivalent with the Fediverse.

Or even, like, PipePipe. I’m pretty sure you can search PT instances using it.

WeatherCAN works great. It’s the official Environment Canada app.

Check out https://clip.place/. It’s a PeerTube-based site with open registration.

People need to stop recommending server directories to the newbies. People genuinely don’t grok how ActivityPub works out of the gate, and they trip all over that shit. There’s only a handful of open registration PeerTube sites, anyway. We should just point them to, like, clip.place.

Few groups have been bigger apologists for their corporate abusers than capital-G Gamers. They would have followed Nvidia into hell itself so long as Huang blew even the thinnest wisps of smoke up their unwashed asses. Discovering that their hardware suppliers have only ever used them for their money has seriously hurt their egos and broken their brains.

It’s like Gamers thought they were dating the most popular kid in school, only to discover that they were only hanging out with Gamers because Gamers’ mom had an old Mustang that she like them drive. Now they’re dating someone rich college student who owns a Porche, and they’re not returning Gamers’ calls, and they’re going through all of the phase of teenage grief.

But how can I have things my way, and also ensure that you have things my way, too, if we’re in different places?? Huh? Didja ever even think about that?

And I want emphasis on websites-as-community-hubs. Which means we have some significantly opposing desires.

Now what?

But with it being on a publicly accessible forum, there’s the implicit invitation to join the discussion.

Online community development and maintenance is actually a studied thing. The research shows that clear rules and a moderation team dedicated to community management and enforcing the rules is the best way forward.

One of the problems with Reddit – and now Lemmy – is the belief that the masses are the ones who should have the power to censure and censor, thanks to those little up and down arrows sprinkled all over the place. If we want to build better communities, we should be leaning away from that, not into it.

mods are elected by the users who generate the highest upvoted content in a community.

So, your solution is… cronyism? Because this just sounds like creating a special class of power-player users and a smoke screen for them.

How does this guy have time or energy for 3+ affairs? Having one non-secret relationship is already my limit for thr amount of attentuon I have to give to people

And it’s also free of AI.

It’s good for work when a woork-related website won’t accept a Gecko-based browser.

Not as related as they should be. Stock prices are based on belief, not on reality.

Yup. And there’s so much talk about the “old internet”, while ignoring that the old internet was small.

Oh, I’m going to have to check this out.

It’s been a couple of years since I’ve come back to Doom. I gotta check out the recent Cacowards, I guess.

That’s been an ongoing frustration for me here. People have wanted to merge communities, even to the point of trying to organize formal community mergers, or merge duplicate posts in the client, all of which works to reproduce the culture and structure of Reddit.

But, like, c/politics on lemmy.ca and c/politics on midwest.social are going to be wildly different communities. And c/technology on programming.dev and lemmy.ml or lemmygrad.ml should probably be having very different discussions, even if they’re about the same article, and trying to force those discussions into the same space doesn’t really make sense.

But people want it, because heaven forbid they miss one of 90 boner jokes.
