  Isn’t basically any software like mastodon where you change the maximum length of posts to be long enough a good alternative? say 1 million words per post.

  For group discussions there is piefed/lemmy. And mobilizon for events. for reviews there is neodb.

  When i last tried friendica. it was missing the feature which i thought was really good on facebook. seeing what people i appreciate are into by seeing stuff like movies and or even things like meditation or stoicism on their profile page. and maybe reviews of businesses

  I would go with the short explanation of fediverse platform built for customization and extension as a one sentence explanation.

  besides you could just try it.

  I might be giving out boomer vibes saying this. but i believe chris rock said it best:

  In the old days, if somebody wanted your job, they just worked harder than you. Now, somebody wants your job, they just wait for you to say some dumb shit.

  And lets not start talking about richard stallman opinions about child sexuality … (although tbf eventually he retract his statements).

  Imagine if he would have got cancelled before the GNU project started. open source would not have been where it is today. and as someone who likes biographies let me suggest that there is a reason they say “never meet your heroes”. but the problem now is you can read about them on the internet. martin luther king cheated a lot, benjamin frankling owned slaves (although at some point he released them) and the list can go on. All people that did very good things.

  People might do great things. but they are not infallible . in fact they could spend so much time and thought on achieving great things they might not have time and attention to develop “normal” attitudes about day to day living.

  and adding an extra constraint when hiring for a project that is already competing with companies with billions of dollars in budget is not prudent.

  It actually reports about 27K monthly active users and is one of the more popular platforms on the fediverse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CrowdBucks is a new payment system for the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  lemmy indicates clearly liberapay is preferred . and it does seem to have an effect because patreon donations went down at some point while liberapay donations went up.

  With that said liberapay fees are cited as being around 3.1% and maybe higher. some digital currencies are almost free (nano, ripple) and despite the hate you see i don’t see a rational reason not to offer them as an option.

  For user tagging. see this . its implemented on the server side but not on the UI side. give it a thumbs up maybe it will help the developers prioritize it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy/Fediverse/Kbin(/all) monthly active users - graph 2022-2025?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  also the wayback machine works with the fediverse observer. so you can look here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened to the fediverse stats here?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am not noticing anything on fefiverse.observer. so i guess some glitch on fedidb?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨peertube recomendation algo alpha build⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wouldn’t it be better if this was a peertube plugin?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is a filter for muting Lemmy 'power users' possible?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you can program you can probably create an instance and then a moderation bot that bans people with more then X comments or Y posts a day. maybe that would increase the average quality of content. sounds like an interesting experiment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A little essay I wrote about "mods are power tripping"⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use to use old forums, i don’t think the fediverse is worst then those old systems.

  I think you could just ask a one time fee when registering or a monthly fee if you want to reduce moderators burnout or increase professionalization (in the best possible sense). maybe even just have the money used and publicly donated to some non profit (or stuff like funding lemmy development). maybe having a place where people know everyone donated to achieve some worthy goal will increase the trust between people.
