No, it wasn’t. And my pt1 had similarities with your p5, but wasn’t entirely the same thing.

TBH, I have pretty much zero experience with GitHub / Codeberg. Is it enough that I’m posting this here, or would I be expected to add something over there? (it seems like codeberg is more for the dev, or people who directly work with the dev)

Excellent list, Skavau. Your point 5 is like a more articulate version of my p1.

I also restated my p2 to be a little more clear & useful, above.

Funnily enough, porcupines are likely also responsible for why the remains of Gigantopithecus, the 10ft-tall orangutans that lived up until around the development of sapiens, have such sparse remains.

Bigfoot, c’est toi?

None of those things relate to the core definitions of tribalism AFAIK, and if they did, then you might as well just say that modern humans at heart are far more toxic and destructive than just about any other species ever known.

Humans have been tribal - social creatures for millions of years (but probably much longer) and have barely left a footprint across that time. It’s our natural state, same with chimps and various other creatures. Sure it’s ugly at times, but it’s not insanely destructive.

What you’re really talking about are various consequences of the development of sapiens, more specifically high-populace, higher-tech, late-stage organisations of such. There may not be one particular word to sum the whole thing up, but it certainly isn’t “tribalism.” That said, it might be described as ‘the very worst aspects of tribalism, narcissism, fear and hate on super-steroids, acting on the national and international level.’

Most crabs will eat everything edible, AFAIK.

So if I understand correctly, these are accts that have all (or most) of their content generated by LLM’s? If so, I wonder what the ‘bridge’ is? Is it someone manually copying content over, or is it automated somehow?

Reddit doesn’t have the post scheduler that PieFed has, which integrates with Lemmy. As a community-runner that one’s super-useful to me. Also on the PieFed side, we can add both hashtags and flair to posts, whereas on Reddit there’s only post flair.

IIRC both Lemmy and PieFed have the ability to sort posts in more useful ways, for example there’s 8 different ways to sort “top” posts, as well as sorting by “scaled” and other criteria. TBF, Reddit’s 3rd-party “RES” extension is just plain awesome, and adds lots of things basic Reddit doesn’t have.

Anyway, each app and/or software means of looking at the Fediverse will offer a slightly different mix of features and characteristics. I’m not really the most knowledgeable on that stuff, so again, I urge you to take these questions to an AskLemmy thread, or similar. Could just search on them too, or ask an LLM.

Yes, the different servers are called “instances,” and each are founded by different admins for different reasons. All the communities from all eligible instances get mixed in to your ALL stream / feed, but of course there is also your personal feed made up solely of communities you’re subscribed to.

I only know that Voyager is a tool, but I’ve no experience with it. I access the Fediverse almost exclusively through web browser.

I’m only a community founder and mod, not an admin. I don’t know much from that POV, but you could always make a new thread in “AskLemmy” or something.

…its usability is fairly rudimentary.

I wouldn’t really say rudimentary; but it’s more complicated than Reddit and takes more time to understand and get the most out of. This is the trade-off for users being nothing more than dollar signs over at Reddit.

Thanks for explaining, and sorry about my grouchy reply, earlier. I was a bit toasted at that moment. :S

IME, getting a community off the ground and running is a huge task, especially the more niche it is. With most places you’ll need to be both the show-runner and content creator for years, plus deal with whatever headaches that come up along the way.

2.5yrs in, with ~1,200 users lost when Lemm.ee shut down, I’m back up to 1K subscribers at my place. I’ve created around 600posts so far, much of them in the form of little articles and sample sequences from graphic novels. So when will the community ‘take off,’ such that I can semi-retire from posting? Probably not anytime soon.

Okay, thanks, and… no thanks!

I don’t need that shizzle upon my Smartphone, ever…

Huh, I only know “alexexandrite” as a gemstone. Is there more to that story?

BT dubs, to link communities you prepend with an !. Use the @ sign to link a user.

Sorry, and thank you. Is that 2nd link okay, now?

My take (hot or not) is that we don’t so much need more communities as we do regular contributors. That’s particularly true in this case, IMO.

I feel like your contributions would be very welcome at those places.

The only reason the human race survived is empathy.

That’s a fine, simple-minded and idealistic thought, and the downvotes upon fact & reality above are hilarious to me. But nah-- empathy is a MAJOR component upon tribalism, which in various ways was the original “Democracy.”

Study it more, and you’ll see it over and over again, my lad. With respect.

We’re seeing tribalism

Not exactly “tribalism,” but “individualism,” at least in the States.

Classic tribalism has many fine features, and is in fact how we got here as a species, across millions of years. FUN FACT: did you know that the human species (“Homo” and relatives) goes back about 2.4million years, and through ~99.9% of that time, we successfully existed in a tribal / clan state?

IMO individualism also had great features, but when you mix in the concept of money… oh dear.

Thank you.

Btw, it just hit me that the origin of the word “laundromat” is a portmanteau of “laundry” and “automatic,” used to describe a place with multiple automated washing machines. However, I’m not sure exactly what this facility would better be called in either English or Castellano.

It seems odd that any top-level, site-wide mod would take personal offence at one particular post from one particular user out of however many million on Reddit.

If I understand correctly, a lot of their top-level modding is now done by automation. They seem pretty sensitive about conspicuous left-wing posters, for example those who would critique the current USA admin. And Reddit almost certainly has an internal social media profile / score for all users, similar to what can be extracted from these tools:

How does it work?

EDIT: Guess I need to explain myself-- my working thought is that washing spaces are interspersed with clay-like crouching spaces, or maybe those play some other role. If so, what is it? Besides that, how do they drain the basins, and where does the water come from? Is it piped in? What kinds of cleaning agents would they use?

That’s when it tastes like plastic IME. Big yikes from me, but different strokes for different folks.

Btw, I happen to love crispy popcorn, and figured out that you can rescue stale popcorn & other snacks by tossing them in the air-fryer a little bit.
