Seems like poor metrics. Need an average across time. Also, if that’s the case even with that and with how easy it is for ordinary people to get an account on another server, does that mean we dumped a ton of bots?

As an atheist, it’s no more odd than any other religion to me. And since it’s more connected to nature, which I can see and touch, rather than fully supernatural like Christianity, it’s more interesting to me.

Wicca, witchcraft, and similar are generally are types of legitimate religions. I personally belong to a coven despite the fact that I’m atheist. These types of groups are generally focused more on community and connecting with the natural world than the supernatural or gods like modern monotheistic religions. Though many practice spells and other supernaturally rooted ceremonies similar to how many Christians prey, use rosaries, or take communion which are all types of supernatural ceremonies. And most have a huge amount of traditions from “pagan” religions to choose from to practice and have very little strict dogma forcing them to be prejudiced or exclusionary, so they tend to attract a wide variety of interesting people and thus have to be very welcoming of those who are less conformant like neurodivergent people, LGBTQ+ people, ethically non-monogamous people, etc. Many of whom are excluded from most modern monotheistic religious communities.

Reading on Summit right now. I tried all the free apps and this is by far the best.

I think this is a great idea and a great goal. It will take time and the process will not be easy as there’s always subjectivity. But I think if you make sure to include everyone, but also don’t waffle too much once the subjective stuff is given proper attention, it can be great.

I’ll take one. Feel free to DM me.

I never used Twitter really because Facebook filled that need and more. I might eventually go to Friendica, or at least have considered it. Basically, at the time, I was looking for two kinds of communication/conversation. One topic based and one user based. The user based side has two parts, friends and content producers. Since i don’t have many friends on the fediverse, that side isn’t as easy to fulfill. Lemmy covers the topic based, and Mastodon covers the user based for content producers well. If I get more friends converted, I’d probably be more interested in Friendica.

Primarily Lemmy and Mastodon to replace Reddit and Facebook respectively. Those are the only social media platforms I used extensively, really, anyway. And I’m hosting a Mobilizon instance to replace the lost event organizing of Facebook that moved to chat rooms on Signal for now.

Would prefer something that could be federated and distributed so the cost of hosting is distributed and doesn’t allow for a single entity to set ridiculous prices once they get popular, like Etsy did.

Cool for classified ads kind of stuff. Though personally I’d love to see more of a storefront kind of thing like Etsy. Etsy has become so greedy that it’s often not profitable for small businesses and definitely not for individuals doing stuff in their free time out of passion like it used to be.
