The only thing I have a problem with is it lacks so many small things old reddit has, hard to explain. Fix them and it’s perfect.

1. Show posts and comments separately on a profile.
2. Seeing comments should require us to click the big children not small + on controversial comments.
3. Allowed videos to actually be posted.
4. Show a number on the mail not just a red outline.
5. But this is pedantic seeing karma totals.

The first 4 would really help

It’s undeniable that this UI is superior to all other formats of messages boards

Reddit started in 2005 and actually used bots to give the illusion of activity before it got big, it was a place for communities to have a hub and explore others when nothing like it had existed. Lemmy doesn’t have that luxury people who don’t like reddit for 1 reason or another will go to Lemmy if they know it exists.

Somehow make enough to pay for a legit ad

It won’t get bad there it’s the richest country and has direct democracy, CHF 5,430 post tax median salary. There’s nothing for an authoritarian party to say to convince voters who are the wealthier people (actual citizens) of Switzerland

Also the average assets for adults is over $700K they’re too rich to fall to power hungry parties

Switzerland is probably the country most likely to leave everyone alone lol. Because they’re a direct democracy and extremely decentralized. Plus internationally neutral.

any country in the EU

What’s the Facebook alternative? Also blue sky is by far the closest to replacing Twitter with millions of users

Ideally it would be hosted in the EU and thus only things illegal there would be enforced.

Lemmy.com Mastodon.com … If those were the front pages that curated the top 25 posts and top 25 sub groups in the last 24 hours and it was a space where you could search for the groups you fit into or are interested in. No more confusing mess.

Email is a utility 💀 not a social platform

A group of people who would all need to agree before action, a mini government of sorts, maybe elected idk but its the only way to gain a real foothold. The people running it are only supposed to act if illegal activity is going on and they are contacted by authorities in the appropriate jurisdiction.

Because social media is controlled by big corporations and thats why they are such shit. Once Reddit, Twitter and Facebook falls and if it falls to the fediverse it will be controlled by the average joe not political money motivated operatives

That can be worked out, have power shared by say 10 people who have to agree to any changes they make to it. or use AI (I know not ideal).
