  • What do you think human civilization will look like in 10 years?

    Jump

  • In 10 years we went through a huge jump. Mass use of smart phones, new PoS systems, the internet has become overly censored, forest fires like we have never seen before, covid, powerful handhelds, AI... Things are exponential right now

  • "Unidentified"? More like "Don't ask, don't tell"

  • I still vote we are some sort of experiment for aliens to observe, and have been under the microscope as they watched us evolve from primal creatures to the death of the world as we advance with our destructive technologies.

  • It is crazy to me how much the lemmy experience has improved since joining here from Reddit a few weeks ago.

    Jump

  • I was here early June when there was very little activity. I didn't really understand the fediverse, and how instances worked. I remember thinking "this has so much potential!" The average instance had about 4000 users. And now it's exploding. I know many people are going to continue to use Reddit, there's still more users on Reddit then there are on here, there probably always will.

    I feel the users that end up on here are smart, informed, fed up, we see past the lies, we are mature and chill as fuck.

    The fact Lemmy takes time to learn is a good thing.

  • Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?

    Jump

  • You just described me perfectly.

    I feel like the people who are really upto speed, read between the lines, know their shit, and know what the best shit it.

    Generally the people on here take their time, do their research, and invest in some quality product.

    I was a Windows user up until last summer, a daily Reddit user since 2011, I was born in 1991, always been somewhat of a computer geek growing up.

    In life I work as a barista/manager in a cafe, I set up the whole POS, trained staff, I do latte art.

    Outside of work I organize public boardgame groups and movies in the park using a projecto, connected to a steamdeck, connected to a harddrive with 1800 movies.

    The second Reddit hit the fan, I came here.

    When I go to the bar, I make friends easy, I talk people's ears off about geeky stuff. I eat mushroom chocolates a few times a week that I made my self, mushrooms give me insight and revelations.

    I am the only person I know in person who has a steamdeck, no one I talk to is familiar with Linux, and few people are familiar with the fediverse and what's happened to Reddit.

    It's odd feeling like the odd one out, but I am happy to have these forums to connect to other odd ones out.

  • Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?

    Jump

  • I refuse to go on Reddit, it sucks because it takes way longer to find the answers I search for.

  • The lack of ads!

    Jump

  • Here me out

    The only way Lemmy can remain this way, and be able to afford the rising cost of server upkeep is to rely on ad revenue generated by bots, generated on dead websites. Now ofcourse the people running the servers would need to also own these ad riddled websites.

    The way it would work, is droves of AI get trained to surf the internet, click on click bait, look at ads, and simply simulate human foot traffic.

    This money would then go towards server upkeep in the fediverse.

    It's kind of a loophole.

  • The lack of ads!

    Jump

  • As long as the API remains public there will be add free Lemmy on the ads. But your right as long as people start coming out to these "malls" where there is no shopping to be had, the food is free, lots of chatter and there's lots of seating. Eventually there is bound to be a catch, there's lots of people hanging about, if I was the monopoly guy I would be figuring out how to get these people to spend money, especially the cost of keeping the mall open goes up.

  • Do you believe Lemmy/Mastodon can become mainstream and fully replace their centralized counterparts?

    Jump

  • I'm there there are greedy mo-fo's watching. All it takes is someone with a nice big lump sum offer to the people that run the servers and that someone with revenue in their minds will sprinkle ads and premium features all throughout the instances.

  • My biggest worry is that it becomes over moderated like all the subreddits.

    I fucking hated writing a heated passionate post, only to have it automatically removed because I didn't read the fine print.

    I prefer when everything is voted on in the community, vs automatic removals and strict mod's.

    It actually took my motivation away to post, so I ended up just being a lurker.

    The fact that there are so many Lemmy servers makes me feel as if one server goes to shit, there will be another one that offers more freedom of expression.

    I also enjoy that that there is a specific instance for NSFW content, it keeps things organized.

  • Community moderation policy

    Jump

  • Why can't we just let the users decide what gets visibility vs what doesn't?

    I know it may be a stupid question. The problem with Reddit was it become to moderated to the point if you didn't read the fine print your post would get removed.

    I think users simply agree what is relevant to the community and what isn't and will vote accordingly.

    If the content is obviously NSFW take it down, and if they are spamming obviously ban them and remove the spam.

    I really would hate to Lemmy become overmoderated.

  • Website Owners Say Traffic Is Plunging After Facebook Algorithm Change

    Jump

  • It's fucking annoying. The amount of times I turned off autoplay and sound in my settings only to have it blasted in my face. It just makes me not want to use Facebook, it's become like a whiney annoying baby whenever I go on it.

    We need a new MySpace/Facebook esque platform that isn't corporate, I highly doubt we will get that, and even if their was an option, most people wouldn't even migrate.

  • Website Owners Say Traffic Is Plunging After Facebook Algorithm Change

    Jump

  • I was using Facebook as a means to see whats up in my area, everytime I go on now I scroll till I see something interesting, I get a few mins in and decide it's dead and close out of it.

    Facebook once was a great tool for local postings, it's now gone to shit. I am really hoping to see another platform, preferably in the fediverse take it's place.

    dot com is coming to an end, and people are seeking alternatives, I just hope it isn't a total fragmentation of the masses.

    Jump

  • This is proof

  • The Lara Croft Collection - Announcement Trailer

    Jump

  • The originals you can play on any old computer, can either get it free off the browser, you just need dosbox, or off the steamstore(installs dosbox for you), and then away you go. May want to use a controller.

    The games are extremely glitchy, often at times unbearable to look at. The ambiance is where the beauty is at, as well as the clever puzzles and platforming. The level design is incredible.

    Tomb Raider 1 - 3 and unfinished business are true videogame relics.

    Took a peek on Reddit, it really boggles my mind how oblivious and obedient people are.
