almost 3 am in my room nothing is open so i guess uh air if its sent to my bank account id start ordering everything i could online
platforms dont have a moral obligations to host opinions it is one thing when someone says something sane but unpopular and gets themselfs booted thats not good however extremist opinions such as nazism have no place on a decent platform look at what happened to voat and basically every other platform promoting free speech people who got booted off moderated platforms go there to spread their hate and destroy the site
agreed but i woudnt call it won just yet lets see what happens after the 3rd party apps stop working and people who may not have been paying attention get affected
im pretty neutral on it maybe theres a god maybe there isnt doesnt make a difference me people can believe what they want as long as its not actively harming them or others
To anyone looking to donate here is a financial thread made by the admins for this month where they outline where money is going and how much is spent roughly each month (it is a few days old however and donations have increased since then so i would keep that in mind) https://beehaw.org/post/428209
Same here accually having convesations with people has been pretty fun and ive yet to see anything not civil for now wich is a plus
From what i understand the karma system was meant to be a way to encourage people to be active early on to drive even more traffic to the site but as it went on it definitely devolved into a popularity contest like you said
The karma system had its advantages in that early on it encouraged people to be active and make the site seem more alive from what ive heard but as it went on it ike you said just devolved into an popularity contest
Outer wilds Subnautica Subnautica Below zero FTL and into the breach are some of my favorites personally
same here im accually interacting with people instead of just lurking i think the community aspect helps but for me its also thw fact theres less users around so the chances of accually having a decent conversation is higher
it isnt currently possible to migrate users from an instance to another but there is an issue on github about it so maybe it will get implemented at some point as for posts from a deleted instance im not sure maybe someone else can answer that
it gets deleted and you would need to sign up to another instance
I like the idea and think it would be a really good addition and as alyaza said this has been thought aout on the discord it would definitely be nice to see people helping each other instead of controversy like most social media is filled with
not that big a shock if you consider the amount of work it is to moderate that kind of thing reddit has shittons of money to make sure illegal things are not on the site unlike instances here that run on donations
For me its not so much that its a gimmick or whatever but that it just looks stupid on your face imagine being in public and seeing someone with a flight recorder strapped to their face i like VR technology and i think as it evolves itl change how we interact with media but this is just not it
You raise a good point moderation has been conditioned by a lot of the internet to be full of power hungry shit bags that you can do nothing about and as such its assumed that if a change is done by the moderators that is unpopular it is automatically bad even if it was decided on with good intentions.
I personally think that to solve this transparency is key before making a decision that effects the community announce it and get feedback try to understand why people dont like it and make sure your intentions are clear so that there is no miscommunication.
Make sure lines of communication between normal user and admin are open so that we can state our opinions look at the reddit black out its being done because it is the only way people can get the admins to listen and other attempts at making change happen failed, by accually taking into account the opinions of the users and having an easy way to talk to the people in charge you avoid them feeling powerless and deciding on more drastic measures
he never did say the profits had to increase for the goal to be achieved
technically their called bezele but in reality we just call them marshmellows most of the time as thats what written on the packaging
