Needs a web version you could set as a homepage .

Similarweb can provide estimates, in October it it is 4.575B visits for x.com vs 75.87M for bsky.app . so about 1.63% of visits, so x.com isn't going away in time soon it seems.

If you can program you can probably create an instance and then a moderation bot that bans people with more then X comments or Y posts a day. maybe that would increase the average quality of content. sounds like an interesting experiment.

I use to use old forums, i don't think the fediverse is worst then those old systems.

I think you could just ask a one time fee when registering or a monthly fee if you want to reduce moderators burnout or increase professionalization (in the best possible sense). maybe even just have the money used and publicly donated to some non profit (or stuff like funding lemmy development). maybe having a place where people know everyone donated to achieve some worthy goal will increase the trust between people.

Legal then says later that the clause was not legally binding and can’t be enforced or such, making dev rollback to earlier Intel version

Yeah it was said by email, i actually did some research and turned out it is indeed not legally binding, i think it is good to know.

Sounds like a really useful project. do you have a link to the source code? (hopefully it is open source) , or a github/codeberg/whatever link? (so that people could easily submit issues). i can add it to awesome lemmy (or you can do it, its fairly easy).

Some types of content might take days to research or work on and might not have the audience to allow monetization by ads . mitra exists for those types of things and is open source unlike this project (it seems).

A standard name for a open source project \s

good is the enemy of excellent. X11 works for most users (almost all the users?) well. You can see that with the adoptions of other standards like the C++ standards and IPV6 which can feel like forever.

Another thing I think one of the X11 maintainers mentioned iirc is that they have been fairly gentle with deprecation. some commercial company could have deprecated X11 and left you with a wayland session that is inferior in some ways.

I disagree. The Reddit community at large is a bunch of spiteful shitposters who’ll spin anything and everything you put infront of them. They’ve done this for years.

In my experience lemmy users are worst on average , but maybe it depends on what kind of sections of lemmy and reddit you use.

There are other places out there that are more knowledgable and credible than Reddit pretends to be.

the benefits of communities of practice for learning are documented in research, in terms of communities of practice for self improvement for example i found nothing better then r/selfimprovement (and i spent a fairly large amount of time trying to find one). It's very helpful when people just share what helped them.

Active users is the standard metric used to check how much a service is used (at least as far as i know. its what i see when i look at stuff published for investors).

hexbar is on the sixth place in term of number of active users with 1.8K , lemmy.world is 18K (enable the "active users" column and sort by it to see the full list)

I actually think this might be good, imagine communities that will benefit from the involvement of professionals like therapists or nutritionists (like for stopping to smoke or drink alcohol or losing weight). If it has a market a lemmy alternative for that i think is definitely on the table.
