I think that will change over time as developers choose specific features/platforms to work on and when admins start customizing how their instance displays info more heavily instead of just cosmetic or federation changes.

2·1 month agoPersonally something that I would love to see is a lot of Temporary autonomous zones popping up at once and staying up for as long as possible and moving to another area if necessary. This way people are able to one learn/practice how to live together without the government so when those services start to fail or become hostile they will have alternatives. It will also be important for these spaces to be defend-able and movable.
12·1 month agoA lot faster than I expected. I mean its good for the fediverse anyways.
7·1 month agoAgreed. No one needs to answer this thread. Actually don’t upvote either. Just think and share with others.
Yeah, I hope that no one that answers this gives full detailed plans I just want to know that I am not alone in feeling that we need to change our behaviour and hopefully prompt others to start thinking about what they are going to do. Things are fundamentally different now.
7·1 month agoEdit: Also get some books on intentional communities and group survival while you’re at it.
Edit2: Sorry just looked at the title didn’t read the text. I mean you could try sorting by category or you could get an online list from a librarian about queer books and then manually download from that list of books.
Edit3: You might also be able to ask for help from the person who made this list: https://openlibrary.org/collections/LGBTQ. Most of the books seem to come from the internet archive which makes it easier for a mass download I believe.
Bots have good reason to do it, because it makes them more relatable.
Humans sometimes can’t help themselves.
I want to say that I appreciate the effort.
Curating this volume of content is impossible, and there are legitimate dangers in giving the government too much ability to shut down free speech
Agreed. We have already given more than enough control to the government in other areas of our lives. We now have alternative social platforms that give us a chance to actually have more direct control over our media landscape which hasn’t been true in such a long time.
you have to build a society that doesn’t want to engage with bigotry, and explore and question its own assumptions (and that’s not ever a fixed state, it’s an ongoing process).
I think this is what they were trying to get across when they mention media ecology. They were pointing out how the structure of where media is shared and its sources can be more important for quashing disinformation than the actual content itself.
So when something is shared through YouTube there are certain pressures that over time mold the source of information into a specific format.
I’d say the same is true of the Fediverse as well. That’s why its important we get the structure here right because it will determine what kind of platform this place turns into.
Edit: grammar
61·2 months agoYeah there has also been an increase in the amount of companies either making FLOSS work more closed off or just not caring about them if it benefits their bottom line.
Unrelated I like your new profile pic.
3·2 months agoAlso THUNK. Not necessarily that close to what is on your list but I like his takes on philosophical takes on a bunch of technical fields.
Primitive Technology. Heard of this through lemmy. Pretty nice overall. No talking but you can follow along through the subtitles.
such that your model could be “riding along on a human surfboard with human guidance”
Sorry I don’t really understand what you’re saying here.
Good point. I have been a lot more active in tailoring my experience here compared to other social media. I wish there was more tools for deciding whether or not you want to block someone though. Sometimes its not as simple as just looking at their post history. Also as an aside I wish it was possible to block votes as well so the ranking of the content was also able to be personalized.
I’m going to be bold enough to say we don’t have as wide of an AI/LLM issue on the Fediverse as the other platforms will have.
Why do you think that? I don’t think that there is anything systemic in how the fediverse operates that will stop LLMs polluting the discourse here too. Actually I already think that they are polluting the discourse here.
That sucks. So much research is being twisted by humanity’s greed. I hope that whatever comes after the internet becomes useless is better.
A few but none that were as good at collecting up to date episodes.
2·4 months agoMaybe, I’m not sure because I don’t really have much knowledge on self-hosting. I did find this on their website though so you could start here:
Does it have to be online? If not then you can try LibreOffice Impress. Otherwise not sure.
In the process of doing that admonishing you are inherently changing the kinds of conversations that happen in that space.
Sometimes it okay to take some positions for granted so you can have deeper conversations about specific ideas and that only happens when there is agreement about certain facts.
Constant disagreement paralyzes action and is the same tactic that people use to sterilize social movements.
