Update: post deleted Most popular thread on /r/Redditalternatives is promoting Discuit, despite it having 185 weekly active users compared to the 44k on Lemmy. Feel free to chime in

  • Maybe they just expect users to accidentally type in the name of a Lemmy instance into the URL bar? Is that organic enough?

  • You know one Christmas I would like the family to just quietly enjoy a good Christian Star Trek meme without someone mentioning Doctor Who!

  • Absolutely

  • Ok sorry, where I'm from saying you are "truly tired" of something implies you think it's bad.

    • What Linux software is good for managing a household budget?

    Jump

  • Actual Budget is software. It can be run on a home server if desired.

  • "Smaller more personal stakes" doesn't mean something will be good, either!

    • We’re about to fly a spacecraft into the Sun for the first time

    Jump

  • Yeah I learned this playing Kerbal! It actually requires more energy to send something into the Sun than out of the solar system entirely.

    • NY woman who used to own "NCC-1701" license plate ticketed thousands of dollars because of cars with Star Trek novelty plates going through traffic cameras.

  • Excuse me, were you talking to me?

    • How Lemmy public modlog allows to call out toxic and troll users, and should we have a community about this?

    Jump

  • That user was literally banned from StarTrek.website instance for harassment of it's users, this is a textbook example of the problem with "call out" communities you are advocating for. They are more about creating drama than any kind of fact finding, let alone justice.

  • Well said!

  • Calling out mods for what? Not allowing your brand of freeze peach? Personally I think Lemmy needs more strong moderators because right now most instance's "all" feeds are just another stale parade of "memes". There is a lot of junk filler, and very few unique communities that make the Lemmyverse something that stands apart from Reddit.

    I would also encourage instance admins to de-federate instances that host your idea of a "community" purpose built to publicly "call out" users. It's toxic.

    • Interview: Garrett Wang On The Joy Of Harry Kims In ‘Lower Decks,’ And Anger Being Written Out Of ‘Picard’

  • This makes me glad that at least he was cast as a central character in a LD episode.

    • National Film Registry Adds Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

    • How can the Fediverse protect against AI slop?

    Jump

  • I have had similar thoughts, I think the answer ultimately lies in active mods that can really get to know a community and it's users and identify when users are pushing a narrative even if they can't confirm if they are a bot or not.

    Also as @dessalines@lemmy.ml pointed out, user registrations. On startrek.website we have a question that is easy for a star trek fan to answer but not easy for a bot (although getting back to your concern, chatGPT probably would have no problem)

  • That is absolutely brutal lmao

  • It is yours.

    • What advertising slogan would you give for Linux?

    Jump

  • lol I was going to suggest "it just works"

    I would not have suggested that before this year but it's definitely true now, or at least truer than for Windows/Apple.

  • I hate to be that guy, but "they" (the people with power to change course) have absolutely listened and understood. They don't care.
