  • I agree that small communities are better, by the way, the way you talked about is mostly how it is in language learning servers, some are really comfy, even more if its of a single language only and one that isn’t usually listed as most spoken languages worldwide since people learning those others have very really specific curiosity/need/couldn’t find many communities on it. Maybe you’d like it more, I don’t know if there are Matrix servers like those yet, maybe I just haven’t found too.

    When it comes to Discord, I think it’s easier to sign up on Matrix than Discord though, Element is pretty straightforward and already pre-selects an instance when signing up for those who isn’t familiar with decentralized tech yet. I bet if Lemmy had a landing page for people to share when trying to convince others to join to sign up and pre-select lemmy.ml (since it is maintained by one of the devs, you are already trusting using their software anyway) it could help, or not, just an idea.





  • I don’t, maybe it’s the question for another that we will get to 42?

    I think there probably is no straight solution to this other than heavy funding in academics (including social studies - which is undervalued in most places) so we can have more questions to possible answers that will lead us to more questions.

    What if we knew how to solve it? Do you think every country would suddenly pledge peace and chip in to participate in such transition? That’s why I think it’s far in the future if that ever happens because it certainly sounds insanely crazy to say that would happen in this century.

    The top issues right now is misinformation and weaponizing it to make people make terrible political choices for their country (if it’s a democracy) and if not, it’ll just weaponize the hate against opposition. We are capable of bring rational but we are also capable of being emotional, how do we reconcile the two? One without the other won’t be healthy and I doubt most people can think of an answer to that in the tip of their tongue.



  • I think the most practical way of something like this is the Fediverse, it can be helpful to make this kind of thing you want, because I think one of the worst issues would be moderation. My thoughts: chunk of small social medias defederating from and to anywhere else but federate to each other, maybe like per neighborhood, so they could moderate in small communities better and properly distributed. Although then it’d maybe now a closed platform? Yeah… it’s not really practical. To clarify: by small community I mean a community under 100 members so it’s easier to be moderated and faster to react throughout






  • Make everyone use their real names.

    Yeah, because that won’t make people overly anxious and some fake a lot of their interactions or be too obsessed, the best part is: the examples of this are the biggest social medias such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn. Also, have you thought of those who are in danger because they have an ex or a random internet user stalking them all over? Congratulations, that’d not help those people.

    Anonymity can be good and bad but the good can overweigh the bad if you care that much to at least moderate the bad.

    If it’s something rude or something I don’t have the guts to say to a person’s face, or something I don’t want shared to everyone I know, then I don’t post it.

    This is a psychology community, talking is healthy, you’re thinking everyone must suffer of exposing themselves because the platform can’t be properly moderated? Then it shouldn’t even be public.


  • He said healthier not age restricted healthier, swearing can be healthy if not done excessively. Some people can’t go a day without swearing once because it is a stress relief, if someone manages to make an argument and still swear, is that bad? We don’t live in a perfect society, if you think anyone capable of reflection thoughts don’t even think about it, you’re probably a minority living in a 1st world country.

    You must click tbe link to the article before posting. No headline reactions.

    Wishful thought of you to think it’s that simple, some would click and read the headline and see pictures in the article and close, or just click and close so they can post. If you are that desperate to control this kind of behavior, it’s better to leave those kind of posts with comments disabled to avoid it altogether.

    The minimum of words and no slurs is where the line should be drawn, he’s not asking for SFW social media. Enforcing politeness is simply just enforcing people to follow the terms of service furthermore needless to mention. You’re being a lot more idealist than pragmatist.


  • From the repository which has some “See here” and no hyperlinks, is this a mirror or what? That’d explain so many claims and no proof to back it up, just point fingers but don’t make your case:

    Cinux

    Linus Torvalds has been sold out to big tech companies like Google and Microsoft. He himself is a billionaire and no longer writes any code.

    Since when he became billionaire? Explain more on:

    Linus Torvalds has been sold out to big tech companies like Google and Microsoft.

    It looks like more lack of understanding of licenses if you are talking about some of their employees being involved in the kernel development.

    Many people, including myself, are very unhappy with his decisions, like the removal of several Russian developers from kernel maintainership status.

    Many people like how much? Also lacking references.

    since Rust language developers and Rust foundations are very hostile to Russia and China

    Also heavy claim and no reference to back it up.
