  Gatekeeping, nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not a problem on PieFed, it’s mostly been delt with

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Reddit already requires it in the UK, afik.

  But it’s mostly speculation form my side.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d also like this, but I feel you’ll get pushback against this on the Fediverse

  Perhaps it’s a feature instance’s can set as default or not themselves

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think we should just hide all of that complexity and just set defaults for everything that the user can decide to change if they want.

  BlueSky has 40+ million users, and it’s also technically decentralized like the Fediverse.

  aka. you can use the eurosky.social or bluesky.social server etc.

  You can try without having step 1 in place, but you might get picked up by reddit’s filters.

  If you have a brand new account you often can’t post in most subs or will get flagged for Advertising etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Only visible if someone makes a comment in a sub that you mod.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Text posts simply don’t get the same message across though, which is why they aren’t as effective.

  You can communicate a LOT more info in a short time-span with a image.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a different community

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The post will get ZERO traction if it’s not a image post, I’ve tried.

  Did you read what my post was about?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s unethical about it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I really hate the elitism / gatekeeping I so often see on here.

  People scoffing at those still using other platforms, thinking they’re better than them etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So you don’t want to share your community with me?

  I still find reddit enjoyable. I use both reddit and PieFed. PieFed lacks niche communities, for that I go to reddit.

  Also reddit’s UX is still a lot smoother, I hope PieFed gets there but I’m not going to kid myself and say it’s as good as Reddit just yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The might not be the brightest tools in the shed, but we also don’t want the fediverse filled with a bunch of rocket surgeons, we want people from all over creating their own communities etc.

  I’m not a fan of gatekeeping decentralized alternatives because people aren’t “smart” enough. I don’t think people don’t switch because they are stupid, but instead because PieFed doesn’t yet offer what they need in a replacement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Here are some more examples, it’s quite interesting

  Why are you like this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  People moved on long before he moved to Japan, or at least most people, there are still some that hate him for a mistake he made many years ago.

  People can change and grow up and deserve second changes, I grew up racist just because of my environment, but as I got older I grew out of that and saw that it’s wrong and hurts and divides people.

  Am I also unremarkable because of what I used to be like before my brain was fully formed?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I fixed it, just gaslighting you.

  Or maybe I’m not

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  His redemption arch is in full swing.

  He has a video on “I switched to Linux, and you should too” and a geGoogle video

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It really is 😅

  I never thought that I’d want to spend my Saturdays fiddling with servers, but here I am

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For longer than anyone else has Afaik

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Neither do I, but I’m all for it

  I’ve got Docmost running now, and fairly happy with it.

  It can be improved in some ways, but I might just make those fixes myself in a PR on their project
