I just counted all my upvotes and it matches my rep now.

I’d say reduce the limit to 600 for verified accounts and unverified to 60 and new accounts to 30.
The world will be a better place.

Example. One of the better subreddits has a “few” rules.

The rules are too long for a post here… so you get a small image.

Just no. Upvote and downvote is all you need.

Weird. RIF still works here.

Fediverse gives me hope there is still life left in and on the Internet.

RIF was always a very very good app. Probably the best app I have used on android.

Why would I want pushed content from Meta of all places? I don’t want to see that.
And no, we don’t need to grow the Fediverse that way. It’s better to stay independent and develop organically and become the next big thing, not eaten by some overstuffed corporation not able to innovate.

Learn from history. Don’t repeat it!

Years or days?

It would be comical if it wasn’t so sad.
The richest country on earth can’t even maintain its own infrastructure. This is the 5th(?) such failure in short time that has made international news.
That same country suffers from economic troubles.
Solve both by funding infrastructure projects.
What’s standing in their way?

You know, by now I’ve Reddit.

Quality content creators are mostly gone from Reddit. Quality content submitters are mostly gone from Reddit. Quality content commenters are mostly gone from Reddit.
So what’s left?
Mods who think they have value and for some reason care about their /r , and working for free.
Ads thinly disguised as posts. Bots spamming and upvoting those fake posts.
And nobody important reading.

The quality difference on lemmy/kbin is staggering. This is the perfect time to be part of it.
It’s inevitable it will start to slide once critical mass of users have been reached though. I’m curious if federated and smaller instances will keep it agile and fresh and big corp influence free.

Photoshop was the last program that kept me on Windows. Photopea.com does 95% of what my old Photoshop 5.5 does for me.
I’m 99% ready to move over to a Linux distro for day to day home use, and 90% done for work.
All my users are already dualboot ready, they just dont know it yet.

I suggest to make a list of program on Windows that are critical for you, and then make a list of programs on Linux (that are maintained) and install everything on a 2nd SSD. The cost is negligible and you can tinker as much as you want without breaking your Windows install in any way.

WIndows 11 UI is only bearable with StartAllBack. https://www.startallback.com/
Neagtive. Costs 5 dollars for 1 license, more for more licenses.

I see sunshine and blue skies ahead.

As a new community we need to identify and stamp out bad actors immediately and thoroughly (spammers, selfservers, ads disguised as posts, brigading, illegal content, racism, you get the idea).
We can’t control if they create their own instances, but we can isolate them.

Total user karma is useless to gauge the quality of the poster.
Upvotes and downvotes are good in the moment, in the thread, for the community to promote good posts and bury bad ones.

That’s a good thing about Fediverse. Anyone can create their own instance and recreate the board/community/magazine there. Nobody needs to be under the thumb of some sore mod.
We just need a well maintained core and installer so anyone, anywhere can get an instance going.

That’s how I understand it anyway, please correct me if I’m wrong.

Oh wow. This looks eerily similar to the Digg exodus. Oh the memories.

Travel light. Be early. Be polite. Bring a box of chocolates for the crew. Say please and thank you.
