The Fediverse Isn’t the Future. It’s the Present We’ve Been Denied.
  • The problem is information, there is simply too much. I decided to join social network other than reddit. From that to posting on lemmy should be a one step process. 1 signup page 1 app recommendation

    Really I should of just written Lemmy.com instead of being distracted by the whole concept of fediverse and looking into it before signing up.

  • Not completely convinced by the format, but worth a try
  • “We are safeguarded only by our irrelevance” it’s not just Lemmy. I’m thinking about the trans movement that progressed quietly without fanfare and the moment it was no longer “irrelevant “ for the majority it started getting massive pushback. Shocking how little it took to go from irrelevant to a danger to society.

  • The Fediverse Isn’t the Future. It’s the Present We’ve Been Denied.
  • The problem is that it’s “too complicated“ by presenting choices before knowing what they mean. It’s a decision tree without knowing the outcomes.

    I’m new to Lemmy and it wasn’t as easy to sign up and use as Reddit or other social networks.

    First I had to choose a server. To do that I had learn the consequences of choosing a server. Once I decided .ml had a sign up process where I had to be approved.

    Then I wanted to choose a community, I think it’s called, and found there were multiple communities with the same name. Once again I had to make a choose without knowing the difference.

    It all reminded me of the Paradox of Choice TED talk, https://www.ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_the_paradox_of_choice .

    Finally I had to choose an app, as there is no official one. Now I’m in Mlem, but I don’t know if it’s better or worse than the others.

    Choice is great but for easier onboarding a first stop for server and app would be great. Like browser, you’re given one when you start and if you want better, and you’re ready too look for one, you can go looking.

    Dead lemmyverse.net links?

    When I click on a community, for example from https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=Mazda I get take to a Error couldn’t find community on a lemmy instance that isn’t lemmy.ml, where I have my account. Is the community dead and how do I get the link to open on my instance?

    Tesla sales crash continues in Europe, with Germany down 70%
  • Deliver is not the same as sales. They are also launching a new model this summer so people could just be waiting. I know it’s a great news story, Europe bands together against Musk to show dissatisfaction with American politics, but it may not be true. If someone could find Tesla reports that delivers are far lower than expected I will change my mind.

    I wanted to find their predictions for production in Q1 2025 to see if they planned for less deliveries before all this Musk hit the news cycle. The closest I got as 2024 Q2 production numbers. https://ir.tesla.com/press-release/tesla-vehicle-production-deliveries-and-date-financial-results-webcast-second-quarter-2024

  • The Microsoft-Dilemma - Europe as a Software Colony (documentary, 44min)
  • Do you need a phone or do you need access to the internet?

    We have an ID system here that most have on the phone, but there is a dongle alternative for those that don’t have smartphones. Everything else just needs a browser.

    Of course the argument could just repeat, everything is based on Chrome almost.

  • The Microsoft-Dilemma - Europe as a Software Colony (documentary, 44min)
  • The video has multiple arguments, yes security is one, but the that stands out to me is that Microsoft is dictating the terms of agreement with national governments and hiding how tax payer money is used. Governments have just accepted to support a monopoly.

    The phone in your pocket is a private choice and not done on behalf of others.
