Isn't there any solution for that yet?

And what can we do about it now? I mean we have the Fediverse. It's 20 million users are not the most but it's not nothing. We can build on that.

It's a secure messenger

What hosting do you use? You can easily host it using docker.

I've never had any problems with low speed. Maybe it's hosting provider?

If you are a company looking for a forum, you want to be able to control it. Unfederated means you can control account access and don't have to worry about someone going to All and seeing porn etc.

We're talking about Reddit. It's one of the biggest porn sites out there. If anything, it's way easier to control what your employees see if they are on a company instance.

Also, which company uses Reddit as their forum? Most of the ones I have seen use Discourse, which is open source but unfortunately not federated.

Federated could work, but you need to make it clear that it's just a community on a platform.

We're all a big community. I think people get this quickly.

And still is Reddit by far the biggest. How can we change that?

[–] tfm@europe.pub 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah but that isn't the greater population, unfortunately. What can we do to make the Fediverse more interesting for people?

Fun is always great to capture the masses!

[–] tfm@europe.pub -2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Sorry but this sounds like a skill issue.

Are you pretending that nothing has ever been tried? The Fediverse, that's what is being done about it. That's why most of us are here.

Yes, we are here. But how do we get the rest of the population over? We are still more complicated to use in comparison to centralized networks. That's why most people are hesitant to join. This and exposure, of course.

Also, why narrow it down to Reddit and Discord?

I have heard from many people, and also from many YouTube influencers, that they add "reddit" to the end of their search query. So basically, people use Reddit to search on the internet now because it's real people, not shitty SEO content.

Fucking hell, Forums also still exist, they just aren't getting activity

True. But forums don't get the activity they deserve because of centralized networks that take it from them.

Let's change that! What can we do to strengthen and grow the Fediverse?

Why does it need to be unfederated?

Buying and paying for services is not only an American virtue, it's also a virtue of our fucked up system and the world we're living in right now. We know that we deserve better. We're known for our resilience, our personal and societal values and our thinking. Buy European and Be European!

Here's suggestions on how you can minimise your dependence on apps and services. It's not only a truly European value, but it not only helps your local businesses and also saves you in case of emergencies. Also: Make backups and store them in places other than your home.

My suggestions:

Print your photos, make photo books. Store your files on physical Hard Drives, print your most important documents and put them into folders. Make password protected backups on drives and give them to family members or close friends.

Get a real alarm clock, an egg timer, a DAB+ radio with a CD drive and Internet radio. Get a weather station. Store some music files on your devices with your favorite songs.

Download Wikipedia and store it on an external drive or on your phone. Have survival and emergency manuals and books at home. Keep your paper AND digital vaccination passes up-to-date!

Get paper timetables and maps from your public transportation provider. A foldable map of your area and learn how to navigate with it. Walk your streets, remember street names, shops and districts again.

Go to your local Library, get a free or really cheap membership there. Read physical and digital newspapers from the library. Use the computers and Internet access in the library. Play games on consoles at your library. Stream movies and music from your library. Rent tools for sewing or drilling Rent board and card games! READ BOOKS!

Get a paper notebook with a pen. Real Books, an eReader. A second-hand film- or digital camera. A calculator. A contact book and calendar.

A TAN generator for your online banking, if possible. Cash! For every day and emergencies.

Let's add stuff to this list.
