- Comment on How to make the Threadiverse a nice place and effectively make it grow 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think the timing is quite right.
I don’t really have anything meaningful to contribute to the feeds and most of the discussions are a bit pointless. They’re not really changing anything. So, in part those other platforms are fueled by outrage culture. Which I know is bad, so not having it is good, but then we also don’t have the growth from it.
The technology is there and that should help. Apparently people aren’t going to mass migrate from reddit quite yet, even though the push last year probably helped a lot.
It is a network problem. I think the slow growth will / should happen eventually, because the fediverse is an objectively good place to start a community. It’s just not going to be fast and other platforms adding push factors would help obviously. We’ll see where reddit goes with their paid subs.
- Comment on Private voting has been added to PieFed 3 weeks ago:
You’re a hero for making this happen in… 24 hours? 48?
The issue won’t go away, we’ll see how well everyone else deals with it, but this is a super strong argument for your system / server.
(Advertise it. Advertise it HARD. “piefed, we have private votes”.)
- Comment on Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say 4 weeks ago:
I would like a © where my instances collects all the votes on the post, and then transmits an anonymized aggregate.

- Comment on Here’s how much Valve pays its staff — and how few people it employs 2 months ago:
It is broken in the sense that it’s absolutely insane that they can take 30% and nobody can build a competing product that only takes 20%.
It is not broken in the sense that they keep doing what they are doing and developers and customers consistently choose their offer.
It’s not a monopoly because they exploit their position.
It’s a monopoly because nobody else is trying hard enough.
