I mean for those that don't get the reference: The end of every French film I saw in college ended in a otherwise blank card that just says Fin (end). I think it's the kids in the hall that do a pretty decent parody of this but it's been years.

Stealing the Le from Lemmy just makes it The End.

I mean the high brow homage is incredibly French, and not entirely accurate, but Le Fin remains funny to me.

If you want some branding advice keep it simple and mildly adjacent, portmanteau tends to sound busy if you've got a bunch multi syllable words. I'd imagine most of the users will find there way here out of some degree of familiarity, the name and a screenshot do all your lifting for you.

Blank for Lemmy grates on me, but you can drop it later and it brings some platform awareness, so not all bad.

Keep up the great work!

Hopefully healthcare.

I'm here on the fediverse because ads are poison.

Knowing my neighbors are swigging more of that shit doesn't make me feel any better.

It's just evidence it's a gold rush.

I wasn't expecting an ideologically motivated project by any means, but his focus is on the diminishing parade of users he's got from the previous app and not where he's sending them.

I have to admit I'm totally soured.

Serving ads is not cool, and specifically poisoning the Lemmy instance with all the problems of tying near permanent content to an ad ID is negligent.

No you won't convince me he had to to make a living, or do you not use wikipedia.

If you think ads are non intrusive we have different definitions.

If any selection of the free content network I'm a part of isn't showing me the content I want it's an intrusion.

There are umpteen services that run on donations, telling yourself ads are necessary is the same deal with the devil as the public Internet.

There's an option in your users settings to hide bot posts. From what I remember from my biggest instance all feed It also didn't seem to be too many different bots, just muting the Lemmit bot took care of most of it.

We still haven't really sussed out whether the dominant model is going to be general or specific focus instances, or even brought whether niche boards want to just be in charge of the content and not the users, since your credentials are good everywhere you're federated.

Right now your 'all' feed is a combination of all the various places users on your instance have trawled, but they're not totally the same everywhere.

We could see curated instance feeds with some instance muting from admins that make it function like a public RSS, per user even if it gets that granular. Skies kind of the limit once you understand it's limited to insecure communication, the most anonymity you have here is in a crowd.

I'd just like to have an honest conversation about the minimum standards every human being is entitled to, and then deliver and expand that, to everyone. These days I'm not picky how. The Nordic model is fine I guess, but it's going to make compromises, and those aren't always good ones. For instance I don't think capital had any business being tied to necessities like food, but money is still the easiest way to ration it. UBI would be a decent start.

Im afraid technical models are in short supply, but if you want a philosophical model it's the fundamental orientation towards positive social obligations I'm after. I can't find too many recent examples, they tend to emerge out of conflicts. For one I'm sure doesn't work everywhere due to unique circumstances check out Rojava, the grannies carry out patrol with AKs because that's what their precarious society demands. The podcast 'the women's war' was fascinating.

It's funny you bring up the phone company, because it's a great illustrator. It connected a country with subsides (sometimes over barbed wire), but in the end anything but it's original purpose got locked behind bell labs iron grip until it was broken up. We wouldn't have the modern Internet without both of those things happening, along with some Captain crunch whistles. Not every construction benefits from being totally institutionalized forever and ever amen.

The ideal is that everyone is fed, clothed, housed, receives medical care and is educated I'm totally open at this point on the how, all I know for certain is capitalism didn't have the answer despite the greatest wave of prosperity the modern world has known.

I actually looked for this too, connect had some separation with favorites, but I didn't see anything else.

Most of the devs are pulling existing repos for functionally that's common in app structure, but there's no way to even do something like list the communities on the instance you're connected to anywhere but the website yet, because it isn't even a thing on any other social media apps.

We'll get there.
