Cockroaches are also likely to survive all sorts of catastrophic events, yet we don't think of them as somehow competing with us. I'm not trying to engage in a battle of wits. I'm just saying that there is no win for you by o

Yeah, that's exactly the issue: I thought that enough people had seen the extent of damage caused by Surveillance Capitalism. I thought that a large enough percentage of these people would be willing to pay a for social media / me

You misread the original comment. I was talking about my CV , because I am talking about rejections in job interviews, which I have been also pursuing.

by rglullis 2y ago
The rejections I'm referring to are in regard to job interviews... not competitors.

There is no jealousy. I'm just stating my limitations. I am in a point of my life where I can not give every ounce of my energy to work, like I could 10 years ago. Also, I did not mention rejections by customers, did I? The customers I

Well, if you have some other revenue through some full-time then any time horizon is fine, but is it really fair to put yourself in the same type of conversation as your competitors who've raised money?

How slow is acceptable to you? I've been working with Communick (managed provider for Mastodon/Lemmy/Matrix) as a side project for almost five years, and my main focus for over an year, and I am yet at the point where I can b

Oh, nice! Where have you been all my life? Do you work with founders in Europe as well?

Your parent is exaggerating. The admins from .ml are not persecuting anyone, not exposing anyone and not even kicking out the existing subscribers that are ok with following the rules of the instance. The "drama" is just that they

by rglullis 2y ago
Right, the incentive will be to create accounts on the popular instances, not on the paid ones. There was a spam wave some months ago. The spammers were using Mastodon and Sharkey instances that had open registrations. They were not signing

Should we start complaining about HN's "spam problem" because of all the "Launch HN" posts? And what about YC companies that have job ads pushed to the top of the frontpage? Hell, I don't even have to be a comp

Because number of subscribers does not mean activity momentum, and recommendations for communities on topic-specific instances are preferred over communities on the "larger" instances. Lemmy.ml was the first instance, so naturally

by rglullis 2y ago
This is absolutely not true. As long as your instance is federating properly, you can follow communities regardless of where they are rooted. If your problem is in discovering the "canonical" community in case there are duplicates

I'll be honest with you: I have been having more trouble finding mods than with the mods themselves. Also, I've always stayed away from the controversial/political subreddits, so I never experienced much of "power trip

I meant spam as shorthand for "bulk send of messages of similar content". Cheap to produce and to send. If bots paid by some government count as spam, then we should also say the same about sponsored content or PR releases. Anyway

That's the spirit!

Bots being paid by a state that is a misinformation campaign is not the same as spam. Assuming the Fediverse was as popular as Twitter/FB, they could simply run their own instances, no need to pay for access through any specific server

Thanks! Something like what you want is in the works, but I'd like first to be able to authenticate Lemmy accounts in a way that does not scare users.

First: citation needed in spammers using paid accounts. Why would they pay to spam, go through credit card fraud detection and so on when a free account is (by definition) zero cost? Mind you, I am talking about pure spam and not crazy soph

Looks like it's time for me to plug my fediverser [0] project. It can help people migrate away from Reddit by letting people sign up to a Lemmy instance [1] with their Reddit credentials and automatically subscribe them to the corres

No need to charge per message. Just make every user pay an annual membership fee for entrance. This is how https://communick.com works. I have a small userbase, but zero issues with spam and abuse.

Why can't this be a Lemmy instance?

They do not have a monopoly on video streaming, and if they did piracy would be the morally acceptable option.

Out of curiosity, how many lines of code are we talking about here?
