I just counted all my upvotes and it matches my rep now.

I’d say reduce the limit to 600 for verified accounts and unverified to 60 and new accounts to 30.
The world will be a better place.

Example. One of the better subreddits has a “few” rules.

The rules are too long for a post here… so you get a small image.

Just no. Upvote and downvote is all you need.

Weird. RIF still works here.

Fediverse gives me hope there is still life left in and on the Internet.

RIF was always a very very good app. Probably the best app I have used on android.

Red Dwarf.
It’s goofy. It’s campy. It’s sometimes terrible.
But it grows on you and by the time you are done through season 2 you love the show and only want more. And oh yes there is more, much more.

Why would I want pushed content from Meta of all places? I don’t want to see that.
And no, we don’t need to grow the Fediverse that way. It’s better to stay independent and develop organically and become the next big thing, not eaten by some overstuffed corporation not able to innovate.

Learn from history. Don’t repeat it!

Shocking! A Chinese company lying, cheating and abusing users data. Impossible I say.
Oh wait. It’s wholly expected.

It would be comical if it wasn’t so sad.
The richest country on earth can’t even maintain its own infrastructure. This is the 5th(?) such failure in short time that has made international news.
That same country suffers from economic troubles.
Solve both by funding infrastructure projects.
What’s standing in their way?

You know, by now I’ve Reddit.

Quality content creators are mostly gone from Reddit. Quality content submitters are mostly gone from Reddit. Quality content commenters are mostly gone from Reddit.
So what’s left?
Mods who think they have value and for some reason care about their /r , and working for free.
Ads thinly disguised as posts. Bots spamming and upvoting those fake posts.
And nobody important reading.

The quality difference on lemmy/kbin is staggering. This is the perfect time to be part of it.
It’s inevitable it will start to slide once critical mass of users have been reached though. I’m curious if federated and smaller instances will keep it agile and fresh and big corp influence free.

Photoshop was the last program that kept me on Windows. Photopea.com does 95% of what my old Photoshop 5.5 does for me.
I’m 99% ready to move over to a Linux distro for day to day home use, and 90% done for work.
All my users are already dualboot ready, they just dont know it yet.

I suggest to make a list of program on Windows that are critical for you, and then make a list of programs on Linux (that are maintained) and install everything on a 2nd SSD. The cost is negligible and you can tinker as much as you want without breaking your Windows install in any way.

WIndows 11 UI is only bearable with StartAllBack. https://www.startallback.com/
Neagtive. Costs 5 dollars for 1 license, more for more licenses.

People downvote because they don’t want to see or simply disagree with the content. It’s not complicated, and it’s not brigading.

But here is the beautiful thing about federated instances. Anyone can create a nen instance for themselves, or find an instance that is better suited to to the topic. Go and be free!

As a new community we need to identify and stamp out bad actors immediately and thoroughly (spammers, selfservers, ads disguised as posts, brigading, illegal content, racism, you get the idea).
We can’t control if they create their own instances, but we can isolate them.
