lol. I’m the one who coined the term after Wadsworth came up with the concept!

Why is Tumblr getting the credit when it’s an XKCD comic that has the message, not the platform.

Every population follows a standard, normal distribution curve. At the tips of this curve are the trailblazers (who left and came to lemmy) and the opposite side who feel as passionate about staying as we did about leaving.

Now that we’ve moved the 3 rd standard deviation off of Reddit, the curve has shifted and the opposite deviation is amplified.

This is to be expected when you have a population-level shift in any observed population. :)

It’s like they took 32 individual interior design students, put them in a blender, then sprayed them in separate rooms.

What have I done…

My city in AZ just passed an ordinance that requires any short term rentals to have a permit, the owner must be able to respond to the property within 60 minutes, AND there must be a verified neighbor reachable 24 hours of the day and verified.

That should put a significant dent in landlord rent seeking behavior.

Microsoft who owns the game Minecraft made a statement that they will not refer their player base to reddit going forward due to their ongoing policy changes around 3rd party apps and the like.

Yeah, but not really. You couldn’t create r/Doug twice. You could create r/Dougs or r/Dougie, but not two r/Doug. Here, you can create a “Doug” for every server that exists.

I have hope for solutions though. There’s only about 8,000 active subreddits in total. The cream will rise to the top quickly and we’ll all get used to subscribing to the ‘top 3 or 4’ “Doug” communities and I’m sure the apps developed for Lemmy will ‘combine’ those behind the scenes for a smoother user experience.

“Two kilos of the low sodium please.”

I said please!

It’s not a repost if it’s in a new platform!!!

That looks like a shoulder to me.

It's fractured by design. There are good things about being fractured. What we actually need is a "fractured" system with an aggregator to ensure the best user experience. You've heard of a system like this before: Cryptocurrencies are by nature 'fractured' but they use the term 'decentralized' and it's what brings safety and security to digital assets. What we need is a "Coinbase" or a "Binance" who "aggregates" all of the "coins" so that a user can just go to the exchange and see ALL of the digital currencies without having to know each of their names and server addresses in advance.

Compared to what? A flat rate?

Yikes. How would any community get any real consolidation or aggregation? I don’t want to have to know where to find the popular community of “Funny” lives ya know?

A reasonable, thoroughly-explained warning from the stewards?!? Why don’t we just head down to the Winchester and grab a pint!

Where were they at when you saw them? Were they with anyone? Did they look happy?

We have to solve the content curation problem IMO. If we all love lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works and post 1000's of hours of content to either and one of them just "shutters" the server then all that content is GONE. Or, am I missing something about how all this works?

If we want to "join" servers we need some type of content migration tool that allows the user to determine where their content is actually "hosted".

We may see individual servers for heavy content creators as they'll want some way to ensure that all of the federated servers can continue to access their content right?
