I haven’t really dived down the customization rabbit hole for linux yet, but I’ve been poking around, and after seeing stuff like this tons of the stuff that was on UNIXporn, it makes me want to seriously try out some of the other DE’s that are out there.
I think people are used to a web that’s solely focused on viral content as opposed to deeply engaging content. For that reason people don’t think their contributions are valuable and decide to not post.
The truth of the matter is actually that real communities are dependent on the non viral content. So it’s important to reframe how we act in a more tight knit web community and treat it more like a party than a competition to have the most viral piece of media.
The sooner we can get back to casual conversation as a means for real community building, the sooner we can get away from the perpetual viral doom scroll environments.
Same experience here. Definitely feels high priority based on my experience so far.
Wow. I’m shook that you chose this passage. It was literally my favorite passage in the first portion of the book.
My jaw dropped when I read this and I took a photo of it and stored it in my phone. I have an album of excerpts for quick reference and this was one of them. Love that this resonated with you as much as it did for me.
And yes… all this through Lemmy makes it seem like it is truly the first step in our collective heroes journey. We just have to return to the centralized lands to tell of the federated and decentralized lands ;)
I’m a couple chapters into this book right now, and Campbell has some incredible writing. It may be a bit dense for some, but I’m really enjoying it.
I’m curious, was the Reddit alternative non Lemmy based? I know there have been a bunch of attempts have been tried, but I didn’t keep up too much.
I’ve known about Lemmy for a few months and just registered with Beehaw because it looked active and had a funny name.
What has been the biggest driver in activity? I’m curious how a community like Beehaw bootstraps itself into existence
r/liveaudio r/mixingandmastering r/bitwig r/ableton r/ethereum
all of the Linux subreddits I browse + r/selfhosted, r/homelab, r/datahoarder.
all of these seem like easy fits for the fediverse.
I was able to get accepted in less than a few hours. I think it really just depends on what time of day you’re registering, and when they’re reviewing registrations.
Album is fire
