While the link is useful, the smug takedown is uncalled for. Humans relate way more through personal stories like this. Without the story, the video is not impressive at all, as most will have now idea how difficult this achievement is. There is also something to be said about adding some flourish and passion in the story, instead of coldly presenting facts.
Lemme guess, you're a kagi cultist.
That is a search engine problem, not a lemmy problem.
search engines are thoroughly crap right now. Abandon all hope that they will become better.
Another social media site which followed the enshittification paradigm. This playbook has played out so many times until now. Start it with "good intentions" as a for-profit startup. People join and volunteer their time because the founders say all the right things and the site culture is so new and exciting. Once the site gets popular though, all the fancy talk from the founders goes out the window.
When will people learn this lesson? Don't ever volunteer your time on a for-profit proprietary social network. You will get rugpulled! We are all the value in all these sites. Why do we let them control our interactions, ffs?!
PS: Would be interesting to get a fediverse version of Quora. Or Maybe we can make something using Lemmy communities instead.
One thing that corporate social media struggles to understand is that not all the users have the same impact in a platform. It’s extremely easy to take a mildly unpopular decision that only pisses off 0.5% of your userbase, and the platform becomes ruined because that 0.5% were damn important.
Pretty much what happened with reddit which lost all its power users.
Thanks for this!
The game is very very much rigged. Most concert halls for example won’t even agree to allow a band unless it’s signed with a record label. So even if you’re super popular on by giving away your music for free, the game is setup to force you into a contract.
Sure, why not. Unfortunately I have enough on my plate already. However this doesn't need someone to host. Such a bot could easily run as a script on your PC.
It was a mention, so I got a notification ;)
Not everything is the same. It's not at all like those recipe sites. This is clearly adding necessary context to this achievement.
