Indeed thankfully for us, covid which can reasonably span from 2020-2022 but yeah true.
- Comment on YSK Employers do NOT verify your total work history unless you're applying for a government position. 5 days ago:
The only way to know where you worked is really via tax documents. Unless the company has access to government databased they aren’t able to verify anything.
There isn’t really any data that can prove you worked somewhere other than tax info.

- Comment on The Fediverse Passport: A needed tool. 3 weeks ago:
It could have several even as many as 100 different people with part of the key to access the center point for the passports so that any decisions would have to be unanimous and would keep things purely being monitored for technological updates.
- Comment on The Fediverse Passport: A needed tool. 3 weeks ago:
Ideally on a platform similar to Gmail in its decentralized nature but connected to the fediverse and accessable through the main fediverse website as well.
We could allow for duplicate username with a unique 10 digit code identifier allowing you to adjust your privacy settings for each platform.

No. There is no particular reason why there needs to be one (say) twitter alternative.
Having multiple versons of the same type of platform artificially divides the Fediverse and makes it more likely that they’ll split along ideological lines
Heck, there is not even a reason why there should be a alternative. Fediverse is allowed to be their own things.
While it would be awesome if we could figureout unique formats of social media, everything has basically been done, Myspace, Facebook and Linkton are the format of keep up with your friends.
Twitter and BlueSky are the basic format for literally “see whats trending”
Reddit and Lemmy are the basic format of Curated Community Content.
Youtube is the basic video sharing platform.
Tiktok algorithmic video sharing and platform which actually improves on youtube.
It would be really hard to fine a way to make a truly unique social media site but would be awesome

When I say centralization I don’t mean letting a few control the many. This is what I mean.
-
Figure out what the alternatives are for these sites we don’t need several Twitter alternatives.
-
Each site needs a front page, Accessible on the Fediverse front page. This allows people to easily make an account.
-
There should be one main site which will be the largest instance, people can edit the UI to feel how they like, but we need to allow communities to grow big.
-
To safe guard against point 3, fund the sites with 100s or thousands of co-equal owners. Say you get 5K people donating $5 a week to each site, they each get 1 stock or piece of the “company” and now it prevents a reddit or twitter situation.
-
The final thing, we need Fediverse user accounts, where once you make an account on 1 site you are automatically signed up to all of them and anyone can follow/subscribe and follow on all platforms, leading to a more cohesive biome

There is going to need to be some centralization of some form for this to work. The fediverse is a mess right now but its such a good idea.
- Comment on Communities not existing on all instances is a big problem. 4 weeks ago:
oh thank you for this. That helps that specific issue.
- Comment on Communities not existing on all instances is a big problem. 4 weeks ago:
I love this leave it up to the individual. Someone who knows how to code please do this.
- Comment on Communities not existing on all instances is a big problem. 4 weeks ago:
While I can see why people might prefer it that way, we are preventing communities from growing and allowing people to find communities who might want to switch from Reddit. If you prefer the UI of one to another now you have to create a brand new community which is going to take time to fill. I use old.lemmy.world because I like the old reddit UI

- Comment on Putting ads for old.Lemmy.world on reddit would make this site perfect. 1 month ago:
The only thing I have a problem with is it lacks so many small things old reddit has, hard to explain. Fix them and it’s perfect.
- Show posts and comments separately on a profile.
- Seeing comments should require us to click the big children not small + on controversial comments.
- Allowed videos to actually be posted.
- Show a number on the mail not just a red outline.
- But this is pedantic seeing karma totals.
The first 4 would really help

It’s undeniable that this UI is superior to all other formats of messages boards
- Comment on Putting ads for old.Lemmy.world on reddit would make this site perfect. 1 month ago:
Reddit started in 2005 and actually used bots to give the illusion of activity before it got big, it was a place for communities to have a hub and explore others when nothing like it had existed. Lemmy doesn’t have that luxury people who don’t like reddit for 1 reason or another will go to Lemmy if they know it exists.

You think people didn’t used to have jobs?
Back then videos were a lot less produced and more raw style. When I first started using/watching youtube in 09 content was a lot quicker to make.
“Quality” is subjective and doesn’t necessarily require much money.
The requiring money isn’t about cost to produce its the time it takes. Most successful channels now have several hours of editing for each video because the average standard of videos now looks like it could be produced for TV.
Thousands of people already are. Myself included. And it’s not “just for fun”, it’s because we don’t want to subject ourselves to abusive and invasive corporations.
I agree with this on paper, but in practice the “customer base” is currently Youtube and TikTok. If I want to create a serious channel with a lot of views and a large community I’d need to spend all my free time making and editing videos and without a real chance to monetize its just not worth it.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Most people don’t start making videos to make money. In the early Tube days there was no money.
Not anymore, people have jobs which take up at least 8 hours of their day, sleep another lets round it to 8 hours, then other responsibilities. Anyone who seriously want to make quality videos on a consistent schedule wants to make money and the end goal being to turn it into their job.
PeerTube only has 1 less avenue for monetization than YT, among dozens.
People on Youtube are much more easily able to make money and make a living. Most of it actually has nothing to do with Youtube other than the fact that Youtube provides them with a base of billions of potential viewers.
- AdSense which is hands down the worst of them.
- Sponsors allow people to decide who they are willing to show on their videos and makes people decent money especially bigger creators. That’s not going to happen on smaller platforms.
- Patrion this is probably the biggest one people are able to get consistent monthly income and make Youtube their full time job.
- Creator made subscription platforms. This is another big perk I pay for 2 curiosity stream and the history one.
No one is going to a platform thats “just for fun” because content quality will suffer and be less enjoyable for creators.

It won’t get bad there it’s the richest country and has direct democracy, CHF 5,430 post tax median salary. There’s nothing for an authoritarian party to say to convince votets who are the wealthier people (actual citizens) of Switzerland
- Comment on Improving the Fediverse to allow it to actually take over the social media space. 2 months ago:
Switzerland is probably the country most likely to leave everyone alone lol. Because they’re a direct democracy and extremely decentralized. Plus internationally neutral.

Ideally it would be hosted in the EU and thus only things illegal there would be enforced.

Unless peertube has a way to properly monetize and at a much higher rate it’s not beating YouTube which in conjunction will sponsors and patreon is doing great for creators. pixelfed has potential

Lemmy.com Mastodon.com … If those were the front pages that curated the top 25 posts and top 25 sub groups in the last 24 hours and it was a space where you could search for the groups you fit into or are interested in. No more confusing mess.
