That was just rules to make it work on the technical side - you’re not helping the user experience if you have to wait half a day until someone manually approves your registration.
The rest would need to be discussed and actually thought out (and agreed upon with Lemmy devs, who own the join-lemmy domain).
I haven’t given it much thought because I see no point if it never gets implemented.
My proposal have been a little more complicated, but IMO works well for a BFU:
I’m willing to work on this if we can sit down and agree on the criteria for the pool. I can also ask my UX guy to help a little.
Feel free to text me here or on Matrix if this is something you think is worth pursuing. I’d also appreciate if you let me know it’s not the direction you want to go in.
That doesn’t help at all, I’d say. Most people won’t ever create communities.
Read only instance would put them off too. The best solution, IMO:
Well, not what I was pointing at. It’s pretty much an American thing to just use the preinstalled messaging app and pretend there are no others, that’s why the whole blue bubble / green bubble drama is pretty much exclusive to the US.
Any chance you’re American?
Feel free to hit me up if you need some assistance with setting it up, I can help with the initial setup, making sure it’s secure and setting up backups.
My instance doesn’t really take a political stance, you’re welcome unless you’re an extremist (left or right, doesn’t really matter to me).
Edit: But I think you’re not gonna get better content anywhere that’s federated, after all, your instance doesn’t matter that much if you’re seeing the same content everywhere.
Many of the points are bullshit and that’s without even having any context, it’s evident from the posts themselves.
Like the part where he allegedly “threatened legal action” - all he was saying is that outside fedi/oss that would mean a legal action, sounds like pointing out the advantages of oss/fedi, not threatening a legal action.
Just a reminder that there’s more non-native English speakers than native ones.
All of those just sound easier to pronounce, even though “sympatico” is kinda longer than necessary. My point is that almost all the Fediverse software has awkward to pronounce names which doesn’t really help with the initial adoption.
Nah, it’s a good name, has a nice ring to it and if two syllables. Friendica is hard to pronounce and sounds awkward.
Stop naming Fedi software with shitty names, you’ll have more people.
Dude, just get over it. I think you’re charging more than you should, I’m not gonna change my mind if you tag me.
Especially if I can see just from the scale and price that it’s not cost-optimized, they simply hit the scale where they need to get smarter about optimization, just throwing money at the problem is no longer there.
Comparing your small-scale service to that is dishonest.
The real point here is that this kind of behaviour is one of things that made Reddit fucking awful and I’d hate to see it flourish here in the fediverse.
Too late, I’m afraid, it already does.
No moderation without representation. IOW: mods should be democratically elected.
Mod elections should be annual and no mod should enjoy that status for life.
There should be a mechanism for inducing a ‘no confidence’ mode election at any time otherwise the communities are likely to splinter into “real_” communities just as they did on Reddit which no community in the fediverse can currently afford.
How do you enforce this? You would need the admin’s cooperation. What if the instance admin is also the mod? If someone starts a community, is it fair to take it away from them, if you don’t agree with their moderation?
There really isn’t any way to prevent all this, it would have to be built into the platform itself and it’s too late to do that now. Furthermore, there are very few communities large enough for people to even want to vote for mods.
Can you stop just creating communities and actually moderate them instead? Anyone can manage to make them and they sure as hell don’t need you to be the mod there when doing so.
I mean, it’s the same, except you don’t get a total number across all your posts.
The hive mind is here as well.
