  • I think people should stop posting news articles unless they have something to say.

  • would kill the community

    I'm of the opposite belief. I think some communities stay dead bc there's just one person constantly posting articles with zero input. I avoid these "zombie" communities. Regular dead communities are more enticing to post in for me.

    start one, and unsubscribe from the communities you don't like.

    This would create even more fracturing, which is already a big problem here.

  • Basically all articles end up commented on anyways.

    No. Small communities do not get this feature, and it is my belief that they stay small because (a) no one is willing to make the first comment and (b) the feed is just full of new dead posts, or "zombie" posts.

    At least that's in my case. I get this urked feeling and leave the community whenever the feed feels "zombie". Not the case when it's just dead.

  • but I want the community to not die.

    I understand this, but

    I don't have anything meaningful to say

    Could this not be true for everyone else? Someone needs to start the discussion. Otherwise it will just stay dead. Imo it's better to either leave it or come up with at least something.

  • Well, you can just not follow the communities you don't like, and let them be.

    I'd have to leave basically all of them, lol. I'm arguing against standard practice.

    Thoughts on Cryptocurrency?

  • Is there an app that could send me a notification every 30 minutes?

    Jump

  • Any app that you can setup Macros with. I use Macrodroid on Playstore.

  • Do you ever worry that you're secretly a psychopath that unknowingly manipulates people around you?

    Jump

  • Psychopathy is a popular catch-all term. "Low-empathy" is better, but I think you're just a critical person and most people don't like criticism or self-reflection.

  • First off, I think you are being very rude. I didn't call you names or make assumptions, so please treat this with more respect than a Twitter thread.

    WhatsApp, by comparison, is trivially easy to replace.

    Olvid, a French alternative to WhatsApp, was made in 2019. It took a law passing last month banning all ministers from using non in-house messaging services to stop people from using WhatsApp. I wouldn't consider that "trivially easy".

    Also, your reasoning is kind of skewed, because in order to even use something like WhatsApp, you need other, already existing services. Namely internet access.

    You didn't mention Internet access and so neither did I. I'm happy we both agree it should be a utility.

    I don't know if you're just speaking from a non-American context, or just don't know how "freedom of speech" is codified into law in the United States.

    I already said this is a "government problem". I said this in reference to the US government, because this isn't really an issue for most countries :/

  • When businesses ask you to contact their help-desk via WhatsApp, it's a utility. When people call and message friends, family, and colleagues almost exclusively on WhatsApp or Messenger, it's a utility.

    It's also putting the government in a position in which it functionally would have to provide a platform for everyone equally, Neo-Nazis [...]

    Godwin's Law People preaching [insert terrible belief] on a government platform would be removed and charged for hate speech just as much as they would be if preaching these things in public spaces. If your government gives people with terrible_belief.jpg the chance to preach on public property, that's not a public property issue, that's a government issue.

    Ultimately, saying social media should be a public utility is like saying casinos and strip clubs should be public utilities.

    No, it isn't. If anything, turning certain popular social media apps into public utilities would limit them from being pure dopamine hits. Let other websites exist to fill the cesspool void. Not the one my grandma uses.

  • I think flatpaks are good. The performance penalty for containerized software can be felt much more when you're not using a good CPU. So containers do not "solve" my use case.

  • I don't think Lemmy or Mastodon would be a good place to start necessarily. Don't be discouraged, I just mean that I think this should be something separate, like a library,

    True. I meant suggesting this idea for generally any website that uses tagging. Will update post to show this better.

    As a code library it could be maintained elsewhere and let these folks keep working on their projects.

    We would need a group like the Wiki Foundation to set this up. Though I wouldn't know how to pitch this.
