<Linux from scratch joke>
Is it the user-created part? The subscribing part?
Yeah basically those parts, i guess , for example if i want a multireddit i want “news” without the politics and certain communities (e.g. business and “the police problem” i don’t want), i guess that’s a typical use case for average Joe, he wants news but not too much news. i think there is research showing too much news is bad for mental health and social media might cause radicalization (see a scientific systematic review of the subject)
multireddits is the most requested issue on lemmy , any chance it will be implemented for piefed soon? . the ability to subscribe to posts and incrementally read them is really great so i hoping your project might be better at prioritizing and using feedback effectively. It could really attract more developers/donors/content creators which is good.
So it will have good mainline linux support?
the monthly active users count didn’t really seen such a drastic drop, seem like something disappointed lemmy most devoted supporters , i didn’t notice a drop so big in such a short amount of time. there was also an increase in users after the initial surge of users in july due to the API drama. so i think the cooling down is over.
openhub defines it as “moderately active”.
It’s good to see enhancement in moderations tools , there was a lot of feedback on that so i am happy this is being worked on.
With that said donations seem at a all time low (3,524), lower then when the new website started reporting donations ($3,962). on june 2 it was €4,010 , could the lemmy.ml censorship drama be related to this? maybe there is a way to mitigate this event?
fediverse observer shows no growth (actually it shows a continual decline), could it be threads?
Some of them are paid , they get donation money , and also from the NLNET iirc (which is tax payer money iirc).
Anyway this isn’t how you handle feedback , there is a reason wikipedia has a guideline called assume good faith , because if you are not assuming good faith you are probably assuming bad faith and that makes it difficult for an organisation to function for obvious reasons.
He is locked in California, a fairly progressive and leftist state i think , I am not entirely certain all that therapy is a good thing, i think i watched a documentary saying that psychopaths only learn from therapy how to be better manipulators and i feel like he sounds like psychopath even now.
With that said if he gets out of prison i think he should be allowed to participate in FOSS (when someone reviews his contributions), i can’t help but wonder if his reportedly unhinged behavior on the kernel mailing list was handled better (e.g. mandating he will go to therapy) the murder would not have happened.
TL;DW?
This is another case where multireddits will be helpful, having a “positive information” feed when you feel too negative. even having a “public” multireddit people can discover and subscribe to.
You realize that the owner could be a truck driver for texas? that’s what mutual funds and pension funds do, they manage assets.
and taking a fixed price is like having a grocery store where all the products have the same price, businesses do a cost benefit analysis (estimating stuff like costs and expected income), having a single price does not make sense.
Create proprietary software project , sell the software and give all the profit to starving kids in africa beside taking in a modest salary (say the US median salary) and call fair code, it’s more fair then hashicorp CEO getting something like 100K a month in salary and stocks.
Integrating with patreon or opencollective where one of the rewards is access to supporter only lemmy communities might be a good use case for a plugin system.
I have been with multiple different communities that had GPL and other licensed code stolen for profit in proprietary programs. In all instances, the FSF, SFC and EFF were all contacted and nobody cared.
at least the SFC did some enforcing that worked, but i got the feeling these organisations are too “nice” , If the case is a slam dunk maybe it is possible to get a lawyer who will work by getting a large percentage of the earnings.
avoidance is generally considered harmful for mental health, what would be better is giving users the ability to curate their information diet, news sources should be trustworthy , display rational reasoning which might help users learn by observation (aka observational learning) , this will be helpful for mental health and mental fitness because rational thinking is associated with mental health.
multireddits could help with that because instead of getting just news about ukraine/israel/sudan/iran from a general community, you could get it from communities specific to those conflicts , the people subscribing to these communities are probably more motivated to discuss it so they will generate more rational thinking (which is more effortful so it requires more motivation).
