Charge for every use of it but keep it Foss. Aseprite charges $30 and most people pay but some cheap cunts(me) compile it from source. I’ll pay eventually I’m still deciding if its a useful tool or not.

If you want to make it free $0 dont complain if you make no money from it since that was your choice.

Do they? the sources on most news here are extremely low quality. I can’t count the amount of times ive read the article then read the reference material and it completely goes against what the article claims.

Here is some feed back from my friend who is a social media user. I asked him if he found this appealing he said no because he wants less social media.

I think the landlord part is a huge slopulism redflag. landlords have nothing to do with a social media platform bringing up that there is 0 here is dumb

I think there should be a sell that isnt negative. The fediverse isnt good because its less shitty. Its good because its actually cool in a lot of unique ways. Those unique ways are hard to sell easily but in my opinion the sell should be something positively cool about the fediverse. Personally I like the instance concept I think its what makes this place so great. To my friends I just say its a shared feed not controlled by any one entitiy.

There is a no politics rule but I see plenty of anti right wing, critical of tech bro and capitalism posts. The posts getting flagged are generally pretty low effort garbage.

Hacker news has been a nice place to browse. Yes a lot of the people are the most AI silicon valley brained ghouls but its offset by the entertainment of seeing them earnestly say the quiet part out loud. and because the forum has rules about sincerity thoughtful engagement you can open a thread and actually read a good discussion with intelligent comments.

What a solid pitch

get them to sign up to whatever instance you’re on and dont even bother telling them there is other stuff out there until they’re settled in.

After the reddit migration there was a sense of optimism and feeling that this platform could be something great. People were joking and interacting positively.

Then the I/P happened and agenda posting went crazy you had people attacking people where both people were on the same side of the issue. Its gotten consistently worse since then. I/p, Ukraine, Trump, AI its making people miserable and rightfully so. But I wonder what is needed for the path back to optimism and positive discussion.

Block users that seem extreme and it will clear up. Its like 10 people responsible for 95% of the posts.

This is creepy behaviour

You want to make a place that carves out crazies, good someone should do that. I believe a frontend isnt the place but i also think there is a discussion to be had and an approach where it could work. Most instances already defed these instances already.

You want to crash out and add a bunch of people to a secret blocklist, fine it kills the rep of your project but whatever people can stop using it.

You want to add malicious code to your project, thats disgusting and unironically you should be jailed. You cannot DDOS people because you dont like them. You cannot hijack peoples computers to DDOS. That is unacceptable.

Forked off the old freenet. The new freenet is much faster I was sending and receiving chat messages with under a second of latency and there were a hundred people in chat.

Nothing new just a 50min talk about the project and how to use it. I tried it, it was easy to setup and was fast compared to other altnets. There wasnt much on it, a chat app, a few sites, mail, git the usual. Technically interesting and I will follow it but i dont see myself learning how to develop apps for it.

Freenet matrix blowing up after the recent futo video or is it always that active

I did not see that statement. Did he say it was people who disagreed with him?

Its probably more adding users that fight/ are rude/post extreme content rather than based off disagreement. I havent seen the dev getting into many arguments.

I am mistaken an incorrect then. I’ll have to try it out one of these days.

So the matrix protocol doesnt have voice like I thought.

So voice is done via a different software not matrix?

I have not seen a matrix voice channel ever in any of the servers ive seen. Also using element.
