Oh no no no. Sorry, it was probably my fault since english is not my native language. I was referring to theirs instances! in your example, the neo-nazis instances.
In other words, I was trying to say that I agree with instances (like beehaw) being able to block what they consider to be toxic instances, but I’m against removing instances from the lemmy fediverse if that’s even possible. Like, removing them from the network.
Sorry, I didn’t understood what you meant. Especially the parenthesis part.
Take my reply with a grain of salt because I’m also very new to this. From what I understood, although you can create instances and interact with everyone, other instances can choose to cut ties (blocking) with your instance. For example, beehaw blocked lemmygrad.ml which can be seen at https://beehaw.org/instances (on the bottom of this page there’s a link in “Instances”). So, if your Lemmy account is on Beehaw, you won’t be seeing lemmygrad.ml posts. I don’t even know if it’s possible to comment on them (maybe someone can elaborate on this).
I wish the fediverse is able to contain all the ideas, all the political positions and that disconnecting/blocking an instance is only used for behaviors like spamming. Not giving every political stance the opportunity to be a part of the same world fuels extremists.
Beehaw and other instances can kick all the users with far-right beliefs. That’s fair. But Lemmy users shouldn’t be blocked to listen to or even interact with them, in their own instances, if they wanted. Don’t help creating political ghettos.
I’m not familiar with a lot of the stuff you just explained :) so I’ll just compliment you on the great work! It looks great.
Yeah, I guess you’re right.
I just saw the video and was impressed by the amount of detail Apple puts in their “apple way of doing what already exists” but at the same time really discouraged to even try this stuff. Can’t explain much better than saying: everything seems dystopian. Like Marques says: who would be at their child birthday party with a headset on their head? I just think it’s another step in the long stair of individualism.
Olá. O outro lado do rio é sempre relativo :)
Great Post, really inspiring. But I’m mesmerised by the design. How did you achieve this? Is it a template or did you built it from scratch? I’m returning to blog after leaving ten years ago and this is exactly the kind of look I was looking for. Congratulations.
It’s going pretty good because I think I’m finally making some progress towards being more focused. Although I need to confess that was pretty thrilled with the onboarding on lemmy and checked it a lot during the weekend.
Apart from that I’m cutting ties with general stuff and news and focusing on: books (reading The Stranger right now), one single magazine about current issues in the world, hearing good music and starting to play an old RPG after great advice I received on c/gaming. I’ll workout after work and then start a campaign.
Me too.
I think that even if they don’t close old reddit now, it will be on the horizon, so I might as well build a new home here. This message-board-look-a-like is jus what I was looking for and not wanting to sound elitist, I find it a good deterrent for the tik-tok crowd and other “follow the person not the subject” networks.
Thank you very much. I think isometric RPGs will be the sort of thing I’ll definitely try.
Sorry for not being to focused but yeah, after this brainstorm with your help I think I’m searching for something that mimics board games (which I love and play) more than anything else. Maybe it’s this year that I finally get into D&D playing, since I have the books for 5ed and enjoyed reading them very much but never played.
I’ve played Stardew Valley and loved it until the part where it’s only about getting that perfection score. Dwarf Fortress seems very complex. Can you play it casually? I saw that it involves a lot of reading which doesn’t threatens me but if by playing it casually I would be missing most of the stuff maybe it’s too demanding. Legend of Grimrock look very old-school, remembers me of Elvira!! Does it have any sort of a community?
I will definetely check it. It seems like a cool story and not very stressful. Does it have an online community?
Thanks for your time in answering me.
Yeah, that’s exactly what I meant, just didn’t know that they were called “shooters” but it makes sense! I’ve played FF VII on PSx and definitely is the kind of game I like (maybe because it’s turn based, so no stress is involved). Also, Stardew Valley was the last game I’ve played. So, you’re right on spot.
I was searching for something more story driven and with a more mature community, so I think I’ll check the Fallout series. My CPU is a i7-10510U. I don’t know if there are open world games with turn-based combat, but that would be like the soft-spot for me. Also, community is very important, because I feel that, at my age, I just want to connect with nice people who casually have a same hobby. World is too fucked up to let ourselves vanish in the foam of the tide.
A have a couple of friends who played WoW for many years and although I never got into it, their community sense was really cool. If I could find something not so tight in terms of scheduling your gameplay and with a nice community, I guess I would dedicate my time to it.
I just want to say thanks for such an honest and comprehensive explanation. I don’t think I have much to offer, but I feel very welcomed (is that a word?) here. The choices you made and the ethos you hold yourself and the instance against seem very well intentioned and a good way to circumvent some of the nastiest things social networks brought to this world. There are lots of places in the internet to get ethically subjective content, for those who want it. This doesn’t need to be a place for it.
The “growing” part of the network project it’s very subjective. Of course that a network needs a good amount of users to generate enough content and discussion, but at the same time, crowds usually don’t add much to the niceness of any place.
Thanks once again for creating this.
