  • [Help Design Lemmy] How to describe Lemmy in a single Sentence?

    Jump

  • Seize the means of communication /s

    I agree that federation is the central feature of Lemmy, besides it being libre software, however the term "federation" is something that already requires a newcomer to open up a search engine at best or get scared by the unknown and leave at worst.

    It should exist, but in very layman's terms, something like:

    "A social platform for independent online communities of all topics, owned by people and not corporations, all in one place"

    Mastodon also does a pretty good job on their main page, it's easily understandable by anyone, and scrolling down gives you a much better picture of what it really does if you are interested enough to learn.

  • [Help Design Lemmy] Joinlemmy website and New User Onboarding

    Jump

  • In the instance list, the link to https://lemmyverse.net/communities seems broken right now, it only works if you remove the /communities path and then navigate to communities from the UI itself (it seems to be their own bug, it also happens if you go to the communities tab and refresh the page). Maybe the link could change to point to https://lemmyverse.net/ instead.

    Created an issue for it: 516

  • How to Combat Troll Farms and AI Bot Farms?

    Jump

  • I believe something as simple as moderated user registration along with their automated filtering goes a long way to combat this. The automated filtering can help remove the spam by recognizing forms filled with random bullshit, or detect input that has been copy pasted multiple times from other registrations, and a human moderator can then have a more manageable amount of registrations to go through and manually accept.

    This as well as the email confirmation after the acceptance should already be a big obstacle for massive bot farms. It's still very much possible for all those agencies that do it professionally and massively with state funding, but at least it would be much more time consuming and expensive for them to do so.

  • What happened to internet culture?

    Jump

  • As great as the Fediverse and Lemmy in particular are, I'd honestly prefer if this place kept being niche. Not that I don't want more people to enjoy online freedom away from corporate owned social media, but I fear that a surge of people migrating to Lemmy would cause the capitalists to turn their gaze over here and find ways to attack it or hijack it. The Fediverse does have its own defenses against these practices, it being completely open source and decentralized being the most important one, but it still wouldn't be a good thing to have their attention and consent manufacturing bot farms etc. entering here for example

  • Do you use a dishwasher or wash dishes by hand?

    Jump

  • Same, and even if I wanted to install a dishwasher for my rented place, there's no water supply to connect it to so it would take some very serious work to be done

  • Millionaire CEO warns US economic situation could lead to revolution

    Jump

  • Despite the US being the most propagandized people in the history of humanity, I think the cracks are beginning to show regarding any status quo politics for everyone to see. People have lost trust in the established parties both "left" and right, having been betrayed by them every single time, and now the situation seems to be getting so serious it can't be ignored.

    Seeing Mamdani be elected and celebrated by the people while at the same time the paid media from both parties have been smearing him and sounding alarm bells of a "scary communist danger", shows that the propaganda is no longer working as before. This is not to say that Mamdani will definitely stay true to socialism, personally I believe he can't even if he wanted to, but it does give the impression that the people are finally realizing that they have common class interests, and they can only win by fighting against capitalists and not bending to their whim every time and hoping to get a big piece of their crumbs.

  • What's a video game that you just don't get the hype about?

  • The item issue for new players has mostly been solved nowadays with recommended builds, you can't go THAT wrong using them exclusively for lower tiers

  • Are people interested in a Riftbound community on Blåhaj?

    Jump

  • I've been playing a bit since the release and it's really good, this is the first TCG that I play kinda seriously, and besides that I've played Hearthstone and veery little MtG.

    I was hoping I'd find a community for it on Lemmy
