@lemmy.fmhy.mlI don’t know what will actually end up working, but I hope we try something new soon.
Personally I don't think there is a one-size-fits-all solution. Each problem needs a different approach. We need to figure out how to have all these systems work in tandem.
This is going to be a total noob (and thus stupid) question, but is it possible to selfhost a vpn?
I take the occasional peek to see if it imploded yet. I do miss certain communities. Only last week I was looking for some info on a historical subject. Google turned up nothing so I wanted to r/askHistorians. I hate they decided to stay on reddit and don't switch to lemmy.
I do not feel thirsty nor do I feel when to stop eating. I also have trouble pinpointing where I feel pain. I feel it but can only tell you the general area. I have problems with balance and not sure if this falls under interoception but I see 3 images. My left eye, right eye and the composite. Edp when tired.
I get that, but it is irrational. They can plan such a thing, esp. when they do it in concord consort. Just prepopulate the new lemmy communities with some content, ask some regulars/power-posters to become active first. Then setup a site that simplifies the signing-up tot lemmy/kbin and make a big announcement before you abandon reddit. Sure, at first the amount of people will decline. But as Reddit will have problems assigning new mods to all those big subreddits the quality over there will go down further. It won't be an easy or even fast switch, but sometimes it's best to just start over.
I just don't understand why mods form big, popular subreddits don't switch over to lemmy/kbin/whatever? If it is sunk cost fallacy that is irrational. They have a big following, all they have to do is say "hey guys, we are moving to another site. Go <here> to sign up." If it is because (as some people suggest, not me) they are power-hungry mods and fear losing that power, it is also irrelevant since they can host their own instance and have all the power they want. If they could organize a blackout, surely they can organize an exodus? What am I missing?
I was looking at matrix today and like what I read. I also saw there is a bridge for other platforms like e.g. whatsapp. But I failed to understand how that works. Can I send and receive messages to whatsapp users with element or is this not possible (yet)?
