I have a soft center and part of me wants things to slow down and be more inclusive and understanding and to have time for more connection… and generally shift our culture away from survival of the fittest.

That didnt get me anywhere and i was poor as shit and was taken advantage of by employers and the system constantly.

Now i say fuck everyone else im getting mine and relish getting ahead. Its a learned behavior that i want to shed when i have financial independence. It is what it is.

What the fuck are you even talking about?

Sounds like some sovereign citizen bullshit to me.

People deserve more control over their data and lives but lets not go kidding ourselves.

What is the link for?

Why would this prevent us from doing anything?

Jimmy cracked corn and i dont care.

Things are so happening

I thought i deleted facebook

Its an illusion of control and if lemmy grows their elitest sentiment will fade. They can go make a fringe instance with all the arbitrary knowledge requirements they want but the most populated instances on lemmy should be there for the layman users that want to do better than reddit.

Why, with an established federated platform, would we not want to be the replacement for corporate social media? If they are so proud of registering on lemmy then idk if they are all that smart.

Yeah i have a comp sci degree and it took me a minute to understand the different servers and how to curate my feed and then balance quality vs quantity of posts.

Im capable of understanding but i dont want to put effort into my leisure app, and it seems like nobody else does either.

Good starting defaults for instances and the “everything” front page seems most important. Maybe training people on the front page to branch out by showing them posts from up and coming communities…

Isnt that a lemmy clone though? If the userbase is the problem why would a new interface help?

The transition to what? Why am i using piefed?

I dont know what you are talking about. What subscriptions am i adding to where?

Why do we want more users? Because lemmy is insufferable. Im here, like many others, waiting for an alternative to reddit and hoping im already there.

No we dont need gatekeeping based on a users understanding federated servers. We need more people so the smaller communities actually have posts and we dont need to scroll the dumpster fire that is “everything”.

If i give you millions of dollars, are you willing to look quite dumb?

Then whose light is it?

Ah thank you so its just a convention.

That hurts.

“We’ll be continuing to talk to him about what he has access to”

Thats what you do before you give them access. Who is she and what is her position of authority? Something tells me i dont want to know.

God fucking damn it
