It's happened under far less dire circumstances. If it truly cannot in the modern era it will be entirely due to this sort of learned helplessness.

Folks should also check out neodb.social . it's good reads, letterboxd, and steam reviews all in one.

All because they were unwilling to admit that the working class is struggling and that they were complicit in a genocide.

You don't have to be authoritarian to think Dems shit the bed.

Honestly good for them. US tech CEOs deserve to have their lunch eaten for ducking the industry into stagnation with their short sighted greed.

I believe it has been confirmed that Deepseek-r1 was trained with RL datasets that originated with chatgpt. Pretty standard.

Always a good idea. I'll reach out to them.

It's less about news and more about advocacy.

Hello everyone,

@spaduf@slrpnk.net created !growthefediverse@slrpnk.net to synchronize efforts to promote the Fediverse on existing social media (e.g. that Reddit thread on /r/Technology which got a few people joining Lemmy)

Spaduf wasn't aware of the existence of !fedigrow@lemm.ee , which is an existing community focused on the internal growt on the Fediverse, mostly between mods and regular posters trying to make Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed communitied grow.

To avoid confusion between the two communities, we are thinking about a potential new community, with a different name.

Potential options we came up with:

What do you all think? Do you have any other ideas for the name of that new community?

One strategy that I'd like to specifically promote is fediverse users calling attention to spaces of the internet where people are talking about the fediverse but there's relatively few users there that can share their experience.

To that end I've been considering things like:

  • Fedimigration Reinforcements
  • Fedimigration Support Team

Keep in mind that whatever name we pick will also be the hashtag that the Mastodon contingent of this project will end up using. As it stands, they would see posts from this community under #growthefediverse

In my mind. Bluesky is good enough. I'm frequently talking with people through the bridge without realizing it.

But Pixelfed just isn't a thing most people know about it seems.

You'd be surprised. I've had several people reach out unprompted and specifically ask about it

 

If so consider a post to the Fedimigration community (!growthefediverse@slrpnk.net). There you'll find resources and assistance to help people get onboarded.

 

Have any of y'all convinced somebody to make the switch? If so, how'd it go? What worked and what needs work?

 

These are the engagement numbers for this post over on /r/technology. These numbers are surely inflated (because reddit) but it's important to understand that YOU as an individual have the potential to reach literally millions.

But there's not many current users over there to answer them. If you still have a reddit account and are willing to help some folks out, please consider doing so!

 

This is a community intended to collect resources and build a movement to get people off of legacy social media. If you have some people you'd like to switch over, or are willing to post about Fedi on your old accounts, please come check it out:
