If you take a look at biger picture it becomes obvious what is happening.

But saying it will mark anyone as persona non grata, so I will leave it to reader to find out where increase in hate and violence is coming from.

And all of that is just an email, but different interface and a bit different rules will bring different people.

I am here for the comments, not articles.

I don’t care about articles since it is usually just one person’s opinion. I want discussion with other people, where ideas can be challenged and tested.

Adding links will not help that.

For me, personally, it is good enough right now. I do open reddit sometimes for smaller communities not active here, but if we keep it at this traffic, I will be satisfied.

And by commercializing it they would destroy it, since they will be promoting content that generates most clicks and everything will become agresive.

They did say “X milions of accounts were ACTIVATED in one day”, not “created”.

Simple as that, of some instances federate with them I will not use them.

We will have block list like with ads, if necessary.

I don’t think that FB even knows that lemmy exist, problem is they are so big they will crush us by accident.

Even back than with XMPP, Google didn’t kill it intentionally. No one expected it will be smaller than before google used it. I remember watching empty list where all friends were. But it happened, and I never thought that Google wanted to kill XMPP.

Maybe they want to use Activity Pub so that they can influence further development of it. I don’t know procedure how w3c is makeing decisions and updates to it, but I doubt someone that is not using it can have influence.

I also think they don’t care about us, I doubt they even know we exist.

That doesn’t change that they would destroy us unintentionally. Like Vogons.

XMPP akka Jabber was the chat back in the day, if you wanted to chat one on one, and didn’t want msn and other random corporate messangers - jabber was it.

All geeky/techy friends were on jabber, others were on skype and some other networks through time.

That’s why Pidgin ( https://www.pidgin.im/plugins/?publisher=all&query=&type=) was important it implemented all those messaging protocols together.

But one year, all of a sudden, everyone got on jabber! Thise from Facebook and those from Google. Google Talk was great, all my friends were online and reachable. Good days.

Than they killed it. And it all stopped. Not only for us on jabber, but for everyone. But jabber god destroyed, no one was there anymore. We all felt that emptiness and it was not fun anymore.

Wether they did it intentionally or by accident doesn’t matter. If you go with your truck over kids bike intentionally to destroy it or just want to pass - doesn’t matter at the end.

I can recomend to do just something easy. Find easiest and shortest routine (that lasts 2 minutes, literally) and do it in the morning.

Since I startet it, I feel much much better. It is not like full exercise, but at least muscles don’t hurt as much.

I do:

• Head and Shoulder Rolls x5 to each side
• Hip Circles:l x5 to each side
• Arm Circles x5 to each side
• squats x10
• some others similar warm up exercises when I feel like it (ex. malasana squat)

Idea is to move every muscle in my body. It is not hard, lasts 2-3 minutes but makes my day few percents nicer.

Maybe I should try Aegis, but andOTP does job perfectly for me

Edit: But it has not been updated for two years and is Unmaintained. F-droid should really start keeping track of this. Thank you for motivating me to check.

Wow! Uncanny!

KeepassXC on desktop with browser plugin, KeePassDX on android I find it less confusing to use than Keepass2Android.

It is only a bit difficult to setup sync, but you can use syncthing, or drive and it works nicely.

Peertube is youtube like federated software, while owncast is something like twitch I think. Like lemmy and kbin, while https://tilvids.com/ is one instance of peertube, but it’s owner is really trying to bring high quality content over there. You can get a feeling of what are they trying to make be reading their blog: https://blog.tilvids.com/ it is really something that makse me optimistic.

• some random bicycle long time ago, and is still working
• thinkpad x220 also being still used every day

I am, somehow, on both sides. I do think monetization is necessary, but would also like to keep part of it out of it.

I guess that I see monetization a bit idealistically, like having non tracking ads and sponsorships, or having separate instances with paid accounts that is also financing others… stuff like that. But that might not be enough anyway, as it is not for reddit, twitter, fb, yt… even with all of their data harvesting and selling.

So maybe donations are the way to go? Wikipedia is one of the biggest sites of the world and is managing to collect enough money through donations.

Lemmy/Mastadon is even easier, country/cities can have their instances to allow their citizens access to social network, companies can have their instances for their users and potential users or just as giving something to community.

And we can have this kind where we donate to individual administrators.

I think that even if I would enable adds they would get less than 1USD per month for me, let’s say I donate 10USD per year for lemmy+mastadon?

Maybe tutanota, protonmail can have their instances? They are already hosting stuff, so would be a big problem (except moderation).

I can see all of this fail, but I also see it can succeed.
