Not having admins spamming would already solve half of that issue lol

To use bonfire, to be even more local (me and the other admin actually live in the same province) and because apparently my social circles are too attached to telegram to post in the open web questions that they can make in our shared groups

Oh and because the main community that should have moved changed idea, so no more being the focal point for political organization in the Italian landscape

Also there is a bug in my ear that keeps repeating that we should just embrace this dark forest internet moment and hide in chat groups like everyone else

AniSocial got the same issues as EuropePub: ton of noise, 0 purposes and discussion.

Even just having the thread to discuss latest one piece chapter would be enough

I made a telegram group to have similar results but it’s still a bit annoying that no one in the open social world wants to fight the trend of hiding into chat groups e-e

yep, we have tons of news posting but few discussion i agree

Adding servers is not going to help the signup issue, it will just make it worse

Other similar servers yes, more themed ones i don’t think so…

what marketing?? there is none for the fediverse

Ye that’s a problem. Marketing as in market of mental space not as in ‘‘buy this one’’

someone jumped the gun on community creation

Yep, exactly why i feel hesitant partecipating in some subs :o

You are right that problably there is not enough interest, but not that someone shouldn’t try anyway u.u

Kinda agree but I’m not so sure about the egg or the chicken first

Belonging is very important and there is clearly a dominant techie culture in generalistic instances right now

slrpnk is a themed instance 😃 (also lemmini, even tho we may close it soon and then make a very local one)

I made the list for “hey look there are opportunities if you want the threadiverse to shine”

No pressure

No but forums work (or don’t if not shared enough) because they have a purpose

With too many generalistic instances you get:

• login paralysis not knowing where to sign up
• bad “””marketing””” because it’s harder to differentiate
• kinda flat culture? I mean every generalistic instance right now it’s mostly techies…
• centralization
• lack of curation because no sense of ownership and belonging

‘‘about’’ is usually always ‘‘about us’’ innit?

btw on the homepage you also got screenshots

the thing is, bonfire is not a single software like mastodon or lemmy, ideally is more like wordpress for platforms

I agree with some of the points of the original thread:

• having Twitter clone or Instagram clone but decentralized kinda sucks no matter how you put it and it’s probably not mass sustainable

On the other hand… Lemmy is just a forum that can connect to other forums. You don’t find cool subreddits searching for them, the good ones are the ones recommended by other people, usually not by search. The fediverse actually suffers from having a big user base that wants Reddit/twitter/insta but decentralized instead of having small forums/microblogs connected to each other. Also the reason why you see me often advocating for less “generalized instances” and wanting more vertical focused ones. This is easily possible with lemmy dividing by topic and with mastodon dividing by localization.

If you want the fedi to thrive, build lemmy instances focused on being a stand alone forum first and mastodon ones focused on being local first (same for mobilizon)

We can agree to disagree for the tweets but I’m not sure that I agree on the part about throwing a good organization built on solid principles because of one person tbh. Yes he is not a random employee but on the foundation board there are also people like Tim Berners Lee…

The situation in the US makes pretty clear what fascism is and who Trump fans are

2 tweets in which he said that the republicans could help small tech are definitely not enough to be called either (fascist or Trump fan) imho

But it’s not a hill I’d die on. Still a foundation, still not easily sold to a random rich guy, still other members on the board and so on. Opinions are opinions but facts are here to stay and I can trust that organization still much more than others even if one person of the board went crazy. Organizations over single people ftw

Fascism is when selling his own business to a foundation to ensure that it is more immune to capitalism?

Nah, I’d say no. He said shit but happens to everyone.

Here is the full board btw https://proton.me/foundation

Americans trying to post their way out of their own cultural endpoint

Oh i see. I did the post not focussing on americans tbf, i’m not one. The ‘‘i know too much stuff everything is broken’’ paralysis given by the social is real in the whole world where social media is present

then over-moderating when they don’t like hearing

ohhh ok

Please do inform me of any server rules that this broke

To me it looked like a non constructive rant born by a recent ban from other places and also ended up with a killing threat on an entire population (open season on every single american)

Buddy i understand your rage but i’m not sure how it relates to the post…

p.s. Try sticking to the rules of the server please ^ - ^

Idk to me every time a Marxist talks I feel like he is more focusing on defending Marxism and trying to say “Marx already said it he said everything so read Marx and be Marxist” rather than anything useful else lol

I’m not gonna read Marx because people who read it are insufferable and we can explain a better world in much easier words thanks to sociology and psychology anyway 🤷
