Not sure if you’ve seen the various Reddit cross posting bots but the threads they post aren’t very active. I think people see that it’s a bot and switch off.
By the nature of the community though there will obviously be questions on here that have been asked on other platforms. I think it’s mainly about trying to keep this place active and let it develop its own vibe (for lack of a better word)
As a member of Beehaw I haven’t seen any reason not to trust them so far. They’ve been transparent about why it was done and they’ve spoken with other instance admins.
Think we have to be conscious that this is all still at an early stage and generally it’s wise to give people the benefit of the doubt at first. I get the cynicism but this isn’t a privatised space- people across lemmy have been constructive and open so far, so maybe give them a chance?
Yeah I would agree with this. It’s good to know for anyone new coming in but should be taken in good faith unless and until a reason crops up to change that. Not seen anything like that so far.
That was just a typo. Beehaw has advertised itself as being a largely positive, safe online space. People who sign up for it would generally be considered to want that same ethos.
It’s not ideal at the moment but until the moderation tools improve it’s the best way forward if they want to stick to their ethos. I enjoy Beehaw and the admin do seem like they want to refererate when it’s possible to.
I’m on both Beehaw and Lemmy.world so I between the two I can interact with everything I would want to see.
I’m not a prude but I genuinely had no idea it was that big a thing on Reddit. I thought it all generally disappeared a few years ago. Just shows how huge a site it was I guess
Good point. I know SEO isn’t the be all and end all in a federated world, but if we do want this place to grow we do have to make it easy to find.
Both ‘Lemmy’ and ‘kbin’ aren’t the most memorable names
Oh good that’s promising. Ultimately this platform generally is only going to work en masse if everyone tries to work with each other. I know they don’t have to necessarily, but it’s nice to get along
I was going to say that I wish there was a decentralised way of sending messages… And then I remembered text messaging is a thing.
Incredible how quickly these things become embedded in everyday life
I find Jerboa times out quite a lot, never quite sure if my posts go through
Not just them either. Netflix has an ad based tier now and I wouldn’t be surprised if other platforms have them too as they realise there’s a limit to how much they can realistically charge people. It seems like we’ve circled back to the start of cable
Yeah I agree. They’ve been quite open about everything so far and their main issue was the modding implications of open sign up. The tools just don’t exist yet to manage it effectively and keep the kind of community they want, so it’s just easier to defederate for now until they do. They have a dialogue open with shit just works and said that the admin of lemmy.world hasn’t replied to their message, but that it’s fine if they don’t want to talk too.
I am a bit disappointed that inter-instance sniping has started so early though. I personally am on both instances and am going to try and treat both in good faith for now
I’ll be honest, I think I understood three words of your OP. Sounds like the general gist though is Woo so great 😃
Thanks for all your efforts, glad someone knows what they’re doing
