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

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.

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.
- Comment on Google quietly paused the rollout of its AI-powered ‘Ask Photos’ search feature 1 week ago:

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

Switzerland is probably the country most likely to leave everyone alone lol. Because they’re a direct democracy and extremely decentralized. Plus internationally neutral.

any country in the EU

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.
- Comment on Improving the Fediverse to allow it to actually take over the social media space. 3 weeks ago:
I know but having a reddit style front page or trending like Twitter would look more engagefull.
- Comment on Improving the Fediverse to allow it to actually take over the social media space. 3 weeks ago:
Just to be clear each site, Lemmy, Mastodon… Would have it’s own front page under this idea.

A group of people who would all need to agree before action, a mini government of sorts, maybe elected idk but its the only way to gain a real foothold. The people running it are only supposed to act if illegal activity is going on and they are contacted by authorities in the appropriate jurisdiction.

Because social media is controlled by big corporations and thats why they are such shit. Once Reddit, Twitter and Facebook falls and if it falls to the fediverse it will be controlled by the average joe not political money motivated operatives
- Comment on Improving the Fediverse to allow it to actually take over the social media space. 3 weeks ago:
That can be worked out, have power shared by say 10 people who have to agree to any changes they make to it. or use AI (I know not ideal).
