Problem solved, I found it.

Lets kill twitter by a boring ”X”

It's always the torus that brings everything together.

Im surprised how few people know about nix, nix or guix is the best distro.

The average users will show up when their friends start using it and talk about it more.

This is what OP concerns, we need to get the people, young people in particular.

The official web ui is ugly and unbearable. I am on liftoff which is decent.

We do need to attract young people, this is what social media do as well, very important.

Matrix protocol as a replacement for discord

If people want to a change on name, you better do it now than later when people feel attached to "lemmy".

I would like to see the host push ads, so that it's sustainable. It doesn't have anything negative to the community except it will sustain the instance do does the Fediverse.

I don't want to be telling the devs what to do with their software, but it is crucial for an everyday app like this to be open-source bc of privacy and security.

I want to know the software I run is secure.

It can go even darker, the capitalists don't have to go by their own name and be disruptive all they want, the community always need to sort this out or nothing in the open source Fediverse would work.

You are wrong at so many levels.

If you were to pirate something, not only it doesn't work all the time, doesn't scale to large corporations, the large corps control you.

The whole point of this is to gain full control, meaning legally, of what we think should be free.

We definitely need GPL-alike mechanism in the early age of AI, we most likely need that too in the distant future.

Not this man pls, he is too radical. No, im not talking about free software, im talking about Richard Stallman the person. He ate dirt from his foot in public lecture, shout at the crowd, throw water bottle. I mean, he is not the one and only person who has an ideal, the way he acts is rude to say the least.

Let's get back to the free software, GPL and FSF, i think it will work wonders when we have difficult time securing basic human rights, and save us from losing more to large corps and power. However, the legal system has to function according to the GPL to properly constraints large corps. With that being said, GPL is a powerful communism license or mechanism to fight the large corps and power. It is 100% free for all, but it is not 100% free in any sense. If you develop a software base on GPL licensed software, closed source, you can be charged and legally ask you for the source code. It is also radical af if you think about it, except that it is nowhere near as relevant as what we have to fight for right now, which is free software.

Brillant is not free, but I like the easy, friendly and progressive experience. It is very good for people who money to spare and learning even advanced topics at coffee time or on train.

I watched his recent interview (only for 10mins) but he described Reddit quite accurately. Namely, reddit(or platforms like ours) is a city, a city is living only if people are living. Also, he knew that very minimal and subtle moderation is the right way.

It sounds like a CEO who knows its stuff, but facts have been shown his actions and attitudes are outrageous. The moderation was good enough to reach success for 18 years, only bc people do it for Reddit for free. He only took the free ride on it.

The biggest problem I have with this guy is that the API charges is really selling people knowledges and memories as a product. It is supposed to be free and open. He is taking all the profits as business with no promises or giving back to the community. This model simply doesn't work well with us, I would rather stick to decentralised model as long as it is reasonably efficient.

Can't agree on this.

Small irc network and reddit-like public communities are vastly different. Both have their worth. Lemmy is surely capable of either of them.
