- Comment on The Social Network That Can't Sell Out: Understanding Mastodon vs. Bluesky 3 days ago:
The mastodon is not a platform though, it’s a protocol/standard and the software to run it. Individual mastodon services/platforms will come and go. I think if they become too much of a product (and enshittify), then people will leave, because they can without much pain.
- Comment on The Social Network That Can't Sell Out: Understanding Mastodon vs. Bluesky 6 days ago:
Still useful to post though, it’s a decent simple over view that can be shared elsewhere
- Comment on The Social Network That Can't Sell Out: Understanding Mastodon vs. Bluesky 6 days ago:
Twitter is the first time a global social media giant has seen a major exodus (I guess the second if you count MySpace, but the reasons were pretty different). The sample size is very low… It’s easy to forget how new all of this is.
- Comment on The Social Network That Can't Sell Out: Understanding Mastodon vs. Bluesky 6 days ago:
Why are you on Lemmy? Or, why do you think the decentralised model works here, but not on mastodon?
Or is it only working because there is no third party VC-backed reddit clone?
- Comment on The Social Network That Can't Sell Out: Understanding Mastodon vs. Bluesky 6 days ago:
I don’t think anyone is claiming technical superiority. And certainly not financial superiority.
But maybe some kind of resilience to the forces of destruction plaguing commercial social media.

Sounds like you need a union

Awesome, thanks!

Hey Mods, any chance you could add some links to some.of the communities mentioned here to the sidebar?

I’m happy to help mod, if you like, sure :)
- Comment on How do people develop feelings for someone? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t thing you can make others do that. Just be yourself as much as you can (I know that’s not easy for some people), and don’t be a dick, and it’ll happen eventually.
I think maybe coming at it obliquely is best. Don’t make it your main aim, because desperation is off-putting, but keep it in your awareness so that you catch it when it presents itself.
Personally I found doing stuff with others based around a common interest the easiest way to meet people who had a similar world-view. And from there it’s easier to stumble upon people who might find you attractive. Getting mutually excited with someone about a shared interest can be pretty attractive.

Sooo… Narcissists are a type of vampire?
- Comment on Dramatic sell-off of US government bonds as tariff war panic deepens 2 weeks ago:
Trump could undo everything of the last 10 weeks and investor confidence in the US would still be shot, because he’s unpredictable. I can’t imagine anything short of him stepping down would turn this around…
- Comment on "Suggest a community" community? 2 weeks ago:
Not quite the same thing, but that looks very complimentary, thanks!
- Comment on "Suggest a community" community? 2 weeks ago:
Makes sense. It would be good if the mods added linkes between them to each community’s sidebar.
- Comment on "Suggest a community" community? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s basically the idea. I have actually seen that before, now that you point it out, but I didn’t find it when searching, because “desired” is a kind of unusual word in this context (at least for me). I wonder if you could add “suggestions for new communities” or something like that to the title?
Also, do you expect the suggested communities be implemented on hilariouschaos.com, or are you up for them being hosted on any server?
- Comment on "Suggest a community" community? 2 weeks ago:
It’s riffing off a canadian telephone directory. Agreed, not a universally useful name…
- Comment on "Suggest a community" community? 2 weeks ago:
That seems like a related, but different thing. More like a community search?
Also the name is meaningless outside canada, so not that easy to find for the rest of us…
- Comment on "Suggest a community" community? 2 weeks ago:
That seems much more like this community, !newcommunities@lemmy.world …

Absolutely agree that that’s high on the list. I don’t really understand how it’s so popular.

Are you interested in economics?
- Comment on What's the point of /c/economics? 2 weeks ago:
What about the economics-related news posts? How would they fit in?
- Comment on ‘We’ve made a mistake’: Peter Dutton backs down on work from home policy 2 weeks ago:
I’m hoping that him backing down from stuff won’t play well with his base. They like someone who appears tough.
Albanese drawing a hard line on the biosecurity/pharmaceutical stuff with the US is a nice juxtaposition.

What a bunch of numpties

- Comment on How would I describe myself? 2 weeks ago:
I reckon “polish american” means something like “culturally polish, but living permanently in america”
Beyond that, does it really matter? Labels are just shortcuts to give other a broad overview. Tell people what ever you want. You can always add more details later if you get to know them better.
- Comment on What is the shittest beer in Australia? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I don’t love it either. Has a weird after taste. Someone left a can at my house the other day…
I think Tooheys New is in the same boat for me, but not so much for the taste as that it’s weirdly gassy. Like, it makes me burp in an unpleasant way.

I’m new south welsh, I’ve heard of it, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it, let alone had a go

Ahaha, shit, I forgot how bad that was… Definitely Red tier.
