My problem is that people talk as if these are the only options.
There are other services, like VRBO, that do the same thing and usually have the same properties. AirBNB is garbage now, so just use an alternative that doesn't have the same bad policies and high fees.
I have supported Discord with a nitro subscription for as long as I've had an account. It's a terrific program and there's no reason to expect premium features for nothing in return. The mentality that everything should be free is why we have so many fucking ad driven online business models and I'm over it. I pay for what I use if it's a good service.
Just look at the ratio on this post for a gold confirmation of those numbers. 300+ comments and 1400+ upvotes. That a decent interaction ratio.
Even just upvoting is still participation as well. Wiki is different.
Wikipedia is a different concept though.
This is social media. Wiki is information. I come here to share thoughts, but I only go to wiki to find data.
Almost everyone on social media posts random bullshit. That's why there are tons and tons of comments on every post.
Things like reddit and Lemmy probably have at least 50% participation from their daily active users.
Yeah I'm having a hard time understanding this entire thread. Like... Is everyone here completely baked?
We touch our belts and then we wash our hands. Just like we touch our dicks AND THEN WE WASH OUR HANDS.
y'all are acting like I should be washing my dick too.
It's easy to missjudge how much of our society are just mindless drones.
Thanks for blocking that instance.
I tried to explain to their admin why the entire concept was bad for the fediverse but they didn't seem to understand.
People can do whatever they want with their instances, but something like that should defederate themselves and live in a void.
That isn't the way to try and build content or community over here. We have the high ground. We don't need to stoop down to their level.
Not at the moment.
There's an issue for it on GitHub, but it's unlikely to be implemented: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2397
Ha yes.
I may or may not have kids, but this video will stick in my mind forever. If I do, my focus will be on creating that community to surround my kids with people that they can look up to for good role models and hope for the best :D
Isn't a lot of Beehaws complaints the lack of moderation on other instances, not specifically their own?
If they're struggling with managing their own content, they certainly shouldn't have to worry about content from other instances. Any instance that hasn't managed to sort out their own moderation should be defederated until they figure it out.
Every individual community inside each instance should have its own set of moderators or it should not exist.
The beauty of the fediverse is that the last panel can't happen.
We control our own instances. There's no world where admins wouldn't defederate from any Facebook attempt to barge in.
Maybe a few larger instances sell out, but users hold the power here now. If an admin betrays our trust, we'll just make a new instance.
They only reason I started using hotels again is because my fiance gets good deals and they usually upgrade us because she works in the industry ๐
