I wouldn’t mind some of the “normies” joining. I’m a programmer too, and while the programmer/Linux jokes get a little bit of a chuckle out of me I wouldn’t mind some other stuff.
Here I am!
Rock you like a hurricane!
Amen
I felt kinda bad for the people who were here when I joined two months ago. They had their own little community which would get quickly overrun by ex redditors. I wasn’t sure if I was a refugee or a colonizer.
would you still love me if I said I was a refugee

Manifest Netsiny?
It’s certainly starting to show that some people with views who wasn’t here before are starting to arrive. Like people openly trolling, making racist and confrontational comments. Feels pretty bad, it was such a nice haven here.
Control measures are inevitable, like account length requirements, etc. I don’t see any way around that to have a usable usergenerated site. A lot of the previous reddit alternatives were full of racism because of who reddit pissed off on the site, but people like that need an audience and they don’t generate good content. The nerds who do always have to deal with trolls.
I hope it will be manageable. Heavy moderation is very time- and energy consuming and the people behind the instances today are already under big pressure to keep things in order.
But the real question is…
Which came first, the internet or the troll?
They grew together. Look up the origins of “spam” in university Nets.
controversial opinion; I think lots of companies should host lemmy instances for their own support forums.
I think that news organisations should create their own distribution instances. The BBC has started to set up their own Mastodon server. I would definitely prefer to be able to create my own news feed, direct from source, and selected for greater criteria than how many rage clicks a headline is likely to garner.
Not controversial at all.
There are considerations.
Corporate instances affecting public opinion.
Corporate opinion silencing/moderating public opinion.
All that, and user moderation as well.A company may not like legitimate dissenters, but it might be in the public interest…
Unmoderated, it might turn into a cesspool.
So, who moderates it? AI/AutoMod? And how? What algo? Does that retroactively apply on updates?This happens on actual company forums. Yes.
So, we need 2 lemmy communities per company? Their one, and a public one? What if the public one is being unfair? Who knows about that?It’s tough!
I dont think you know how this meme works
But because it’s federated, we can secede at anytime. It’s a fool proof system like the united states.
This is called enshittification, and happens to all platforms.
At least this platform has some sort of natural resistance against enshittification, given that no one party can completely dominate the platform without immediately getting squashed by the collective.
Don’t kid yourself. Its us that fuck it all up. We love getting fleeced by the simplest of content creators. We will walk in every single thing we hate about other sites into this site just because someone entertains us.
Soon as they got our attention, they’ll monetize our it and everything will go to shit.
Its forbidden to talk shit about content creators, they make content and content is king.
On the internet, Creative people are the guys in suits. They’ll do whatever they can to turn your every waking minute into a 24/7 commercial
Is there a FOSS license that can prohibit code being used for profit over a certain amount?
No, that’s against the ideology of freedom. What you can do is dual license with a FOSS and a commercial license.
So what happens to both projects that buy into foss to commercial? Are they 2 single licenses then?
You have separate licences for commercial and non commercial use.
I get the different licenses apache Gnu, copy left, copy right. I’m just not intricately familiar with them. Is there one that exists that could do both?
What’s a normie? I don’t think I have seen one yet. /j
