Super cool. Would AGPL fix the issues with the loop holes they used?

Well, in that case, maybe this is interesting to you. I ran a user survey last year for my instance and anyone else wanting to answer and one question was age. Here’s the age group graph:

The y-axis is number of respondents, x-axis is age group. Obviously this only applies to the people that responded to the survey and thus might not apply in general to the fediverse, but it’s probably an indication. And, well, it’s mostly smoothly distributed without any major gaps or humps (slight hump at 30-34 but not sure if that’s statistically significant).

It’s inherently an american concept, which is what also annoys me as some Europeans have started importing the concept even though it makes little sense (I don’t really think it makes sense in the US either but the fact that it is imported is just extra stupid).

I think people just love putting other people in boxes. Consider people complexly instead.

If you ask me, these generation labels are bullshit and just a way to put people into a stereotypical box and make them an “other”. Not much better than astrology.

No, I’ve never really understood the point. I have bookmarks in my browser if I want to save something for later. I don’t really need anything more fancy than that.

… Fuck

How did they open cans before then?

active uses the newest comment time

I think this is what I don’t like about active sort. Just a single comment is all it needs to bump a highly upvoted post to the top. I feel like it should rather look at an aggregate of recent comments or something along those lines, so that a single comment doesn’t cause such a big effect. It’s kinda like if a single vote could move a post to the top.

Maybe try out [email protected]?

The majority of users are surely from the US

Hmm citation needed? I’m not so sure a majority is from the US, even if US users is the largest group.

What I find most annoying is stuff like /c/news and /c/politics (on any instance) being actually only about US news or US politics. And then you need /c/world_news to be actual news from around the world. I wish more instances did what Beehaw did and made /c/news into the world news community and then made /c/usnews to be… well, US news.

I think one other thing that might help would be to adjust the “Active” sort. I believe it has some kind of hard-coded 2 day limit? So posts older than 2 days will not show up. The problem is that as the sort is working right now, it often displays posts that are 2 days old. This isn’t great for getting new content. It’d be nice if the “Active” sort (or any other other sorts) parameters could be configured somehow.

Feddit.dk is doing pretty alright - it’s small, for sure, but it’s nice :)

[email protected]

Please link via !community@domain.com otherwise it doesn’t work for other instances.

Yea, it’s obviously not clearly defined. “Nice” is a box that we like to put people in or out of, but of course people and reality in general don’t fit in neat boxes.

Being nice is more about what you do in a specific situation I guess. You can be nice in one situation, mean in another. Whether you are nice in general… Well how do you decide?

I think I am. I think I’m nicer than most people (cringing at myself for saying that but I can’t think of a humbler way to phrase it while still being honest).

Very much depends where you live.

I always try to order from the restaurant’s own website, as I know I support the restaurant the most in that case. Sometimes it’s even cheaper on their own site.

Otherwise I mostly use Wolt. The other option is Just Eat. There’s not really any other options afaik which is kind of problematic (semi monopoly situation).

Because those spaces are just as accessible from other instances that may not use Lemmy. They’re not on “Lemmy”, they’re on the underlying protocol, i.e. ActivityPub, which is the major part of the fediverse.

It’d be like if you had an Outlook email and instead of referring to it as your email, you refer to it as your Outlook, even though other email implementations can just as easily talk to you. Outlook is just an email implementation, it’s not what email is. That’s the protocol.
