Lobsters and hackernews.

Lemmy and piefed can be deviated into being used as a single sub instance as an alternative but it’s just not the same.

Other than this, we are pretty fine with the basics, it would be nice to have more people working towards letting mods be mods with proper tools without involving CLI.

Also some combo like local first acting as a PDS being able to be written by different softwares. (Basically atproto or solid yes)(yes silverpill and holos are working on this but 2 different people working on 2 different implementation of the hardest thing in the fedi doesn’t seem optimal for a network made of devs lol)

Oh wait, apparently not on Lemmyml but yes on slrpnk

@poVoq@slrpnk.net is it something about us? Lol

Ellipsis get rendered as flying points…

Originally, solarpunk was to talk only about solarpunk itself

Basically solarpunk theory

Why do you think this is a solarpunk approach to governance? Are there examples that work like that? What could go wrong? And so on to give it more depth and not just be a “news” link

Only half agree here. I get the low effort posting issue but it’s not like I expect every solarpunk to explain every win every post. It’s like saying “add why do you think it’s solarpunk if someone stops Israel”. Anticapitalism is one of the basic values of solarpunk as much as not liking genocide, racism and so on.

It’s also true that it’s much easier to spot a genocide rather than the practicalities of capitalism…

wow, that is ugly

Cannot seem to find it that spokesperson is still working for them tho

I don’t have LinkedIn access so if someone can…

We kinda agree I think. But we see differently what I posted probably. It’s true that it’s not about the tech itself but the development of tech; at the same time, licenses and engineering won’t build solarpunk alone…

I would ban news from almost the whole server to be honest, I just don’t see this as one but more like a communication from me to other solarpunks to say “yo people we’ve got another tech foundation we can use to not give money to capitalism”

In the latest rework of lemmini before the shutdown I just reimagined the main community as a solarpunk hackernews to ease this

It’s a lot more than domains and it’s still a tech company turning more anticapitalist

Selfhosting should be more for mutual help

But again, you know I intended slrpnk kinda differently so maybe I’m wrong compared to present times lol

Do you happen to have a way to search without making an account?

@poVoq@slrpnk.net

tbf op said they made a flag, not “THE” flag :)

as you sensed, it’s under the website control: readers just check the rss ‘‘file’’ and show it to you in a nice way, every now and then they check for new articles and if your readers supports it you can save the older ones as they come

there can be also limits hardcoded in the reader that don’t let you take more than x items from a new feed but anyway the most majority of rss files just have the last y items, it’s rare that they expose everything (it would be a mess)

The road to hell is paved with good intentions

Post-capitalism is just “we are the good crypto bros”. It’s true that they are not bad people, but it’s still capitalism without any doubt.

That’s not happening to me… I’ve installed it from brew and there is no need for me to do anything weird except the occasional “this app was downloaded from internet so you allow it” when updating from brew (stuff that gets updated natively doesn’t even ask this)

I think people are retreating more and more into chat groups. Those people are not on reddit anymore, they are probably in discord related to certain products hobbies etc.

I really wonder how long until we will start seeing the effects of not having more updated general knowledge in the public web, but oh well 🤷

On a side note, after all, the web always had a bias and a lot of fields never had easily available public discussions…

I would rework the other stuff, like the whole branding because all that hacker green doesn’t help in feeling the communities. And the images for the same reason… Also there are some features that are worthless listing like “you can have an avatar”

Also the censorship thing…

Let’s say that the homepage kinda reflects the state of lemmy people as a group right now and it’s not so nice imo

Focussing on being a clean forum with nested answers and human curated algorithm and idk, just pointing some low hanging fruits

On a side note I wonder if having the page as onboarding for users instead of explaining the software is the right target. Ideally it should be communities trying to outreach to have people on their servers, not the software asking to join people who use the software (?)

But I digress.

On a marketing level point of view, while we are clearly the small fish, it’s not bad to leverage being enemies of Reddit. Like in the past we’ve seen much more Apple vs Microsoft while now they ignore each other.

“Reddit if was not owned by venture capitalists who keep ruining your life” lol (too long)

Anyway, is there any kind of data to know if people actually join lemmy by joinlemmy site?

A community poll for Lemmy users would be good.

Mastodon also got the rss for user’s media, useful to follow artists

As for Reddit, go away from the main subs

unluckily niches are not yet developed enough but still better than nothing and you can help with posting

It costed nothing to say Kenya instead of Africa and Solar power revolution instead of solarpunk

While the funds pour in, yes, startup are so nice, let’s see this fully integrated vertical stack with sensor for remote shut down how evolves with time…

The same article could be done with the fediverse “solarpunk is already happening on the internet” or whatever good thing is happening in the world

Sorry I just feel like the author is sugar coating a startup, a bit de-politicizing solarpunk and looking down on Africa complexity e_e

Still an interesting read
