skews the market in their favour by getting a bigger share of finite attention/exposur

Oh, that makes sense

Surely wouldn’t the best music spread by itself, by virtue of its quality? Maybe I’m underestimating the role that the established music industry still plays.

I think the thing, at least with music, is that creating it nowadays is next to free (you just need a DAW), so it is very possible for the biggest bangers to be created by a hobbyist with some skill and free time. In a way it is better today than it was before because there is nothing financially stopping the biggest natural talents from raising to the top.

You need to stop lurking. Only posting uses charge

That’s good to hear. UK Labour have practically become defenders of the status quo.

Have you considered UK/Ireland/Aus/NZ?

Sunwise and widdershins.

I’d also like to see something like this for the Internet Archive. Essentially a federated archive.

That’s super cool, that sounds apocalypse-ready. It probably only exists in cities though, right?

Wait but the mesh network is virtual they don’t have their own antennas right?

I definitely agree with this. If this does not happen then I can at the very lease see the journalism industry develop its own opt-in standard for image signing.

Completely forgot the .ARJ archive format existed until now

feddit.de disappeared a while back. As did the original UK one. (Both have been replaced)

I think somebody shoukd do an academic study on Lemmy, how it differs from Reddit, its weaknesses, and why it might be failing. So that there is a definitive cause to its weakness that can be pointed to for anyone willing to give it another shot.

Secondly, I think it might be a good idea for the admins of the servers to have a video call. This will make the (at least admin) community feel much more personal in a way that comment threads cannot and will lead to a stronger sense of community. Actually I’m impressed that Lemmy as a project has made it this far without the developers having ever been able to plan the project together in a group.

I don’t see why they opted for such an exotic language in 2025

Surely couldn’t they do the opposite, ie. refuse to act and wait to be taken to court (if they think they’d win)? Obviously futile if the court has been captured though

British forum for mums to share parenting tips. Different demographic to most other social media.
