But people here don’t really care that much about celebrities being here and maybe not even their username being unique. Could probably be anon1, anon2, etc and it wouldn’t matter that much, since real identity is probably not a draw for them. Focus on regular people wanting the userbase to want to use fediverse rather than celebrities which is an off-putting first impression and point of sale for lot of people here.

You need to pivot is what I’m saying to achieve what you want.

I’m not here for celebrities and they will always flock to centralized platforms anyways, since they are all about the views.

Makes me hungry. Really craving it as the weather is getting colder.

I definitely do not wish to see a push towards content that is created for the purposes of trying to monetize or self promote for the purposes of making money. The shilling is the worst part of lot of plarforms because of corporate interests that need to recoup costs or want to have a successful IPO so leads to inevitable ways to monetize users and monetizing users.

Leave the popular crowd drawing shills on the corporate platforms. While it would be nice for the fediverse to have more niche thriving communities if it means becoming filled with shills then at that point why even bother with the fediverse.

Yeah, I think until a solution is found image hosting should be blocked, and instead rely on external image hosting sites. That seems like the best immediate solution.

I need to make this for myself.

Yeah, finding the right instance can be tricky. If you want some more anonomity so you easily blend into the crowd then a general instance might offer that, but then the general community there can have problematic topics and comments trending locally that might brother you enough to want to move if you don’t like the general users.

But, then if you go with a niche instance that is immediately identifiable as holding certain values then it can be harder to blend in and instantly stand out from other comments if the instance exists for a specific topic as its image.

With your doxxing issues. I’m not sure the extent of private information was leaked, but it is best to see what information shared could have led to the doxxing being possible. Finding what led to that can help to try and reduce risks online, since any publicly viewable social media can’t offer protection. Only thing that can be done on public social media is to try to not share too much identifiable info or change details to try and reduce risk while retaining the core idea of the message.

Browsing an instance locally and deciding if you like the content generated from there is the best way to decide if the instance is a fit for you. It gives the best idea of the community there.

I went with lemmy.one because of privacyguides from reddit, and I liked that the move of actually being serious about the protest by making an alternative to move away from. Very few of the subreddits I subscribed to ever decided to make an instance or a fediverse community, so lemmy.one was what I defaulted to in the beginning. Since then Android has made an instance too, so that’d be my second choice. Anyways, that’s how I decided by going with what I was familiar with.

When bitorrent is still around how would that happen.

Threads seems worse to me because it is Meta, requires an app, and can’t be look at without an account. At least Twitter has restored visibility to people without accounts and now Twitter front ends are working again. Everything in meta has seemed to be account based with Instagram and Facebook where if someone sends me a links is usually useless since it requires a login. And I’m not creating a meta account. Even tiktok can be viewed without an accoubt or app.

Especially reddit redesign where it collapses comments instead of showing the entire comment chain in one go. So much clicking needed to read through and recommendations of other posts being shown. The redesign is intended to try and get non redditors to not leave when they come across it in searches.

Sounds to me that sometimes the community needs to actually see the consequences of mods leaving? Because a lot take the attitude of who needs mods just open it up.

And sticking the the status quo doesn’t even give the possibility of breaking it potentially leading to changes.

What if goal is to make reddit search results a frustrating experience that people start doing - reddit.com

This is incredibly useful so is this official subreddits that moved or include equivalents that aren’t associated?

I was on mobile so didn’t see the columns at first. I see that it let’s you know if it’s official or affiliated very cool.

Desktop launcher finally looks modern. I’m liking it. Haven’t had a chance to try out the notes feature. But, I’m guessing it remembers for each game?

If you aren’t paying you are the product…Wait…Aren’t we paying?

I went with good old lineageOS but I would like to pick up a Pixel device so I can give GrapheneOS or CalyxOS a go.

Does anyone have any tips on setting up RSS for twitter so it shows more content than what is just on the first page through the https://nitter.net/{{ twitter_account }}/rss method?

I’ve been using fritter but there’s no longer a way to combine feeds from all accounts at once. And when it comes to setting up a regular RSS I run into the feed quantity limitation for each account.
