Those results are pretty promising. Sadly, my country would never go for it.

My pet peeve is people downvoting in communities they aren’t subscribed to about posts they aren’t interested in. They just sort by new, and when they see something they don’t like, they smash that downvote button without even looking at the post or contents.

Part of it is because we all have unlimited votes; people vote without thinking. It would be different if everyone had a finite number of votes to use. And you get awarded a few votes for making a comment or post. Maybe award extra votes for commenting in small communities.

This would serve 2 purposes. 1.) People would use their votes a lot more thoughtfully. 2.) It would encourage people to comment and post more.

The downside is that someone could set up a bot to spam posts and comments into a dead community just to rack up votes.

I was lucky to be able to care for my parents in their final days. I’m not a great cook, but I did my best. Sandwich day was usually grilled turkey & cheese or plain turkey, cheese, tomato, lettuce, etc. Always a diagonal cut. Plus a bowl of chicken noodle soup with saltine crackers. Good memories.

Very well executed. It’s a bit more meat than I like, but the diagonal cut is a nice touch.

Most of the people who want to sign up for Lemmy are already here. They are technically oriented and don’t mind dealing with the quirks of Federated platforms.

The commenter’s concerns are valid. For a “normie” who’s only used traditional social media, the Fediverse seems like a train wreck. I enjoy the Fediverse because I like figuring out new things and learning new stuff. Normies don’t have time for that.

tl/dr: The average person will be very reluctant to use Lemmy.

Let’s face it, Nvidia doesn’t care if you buy a gaming card or not right now. You can complain, but they can’t hear you over their money counting machines.

Nvidia is only selling enough gaming cards to keep their market share from falling too low. All the rest of their silicon is allocated towards data center.
