I wish my app would give an option to have pages rather than an infinite feed.

I wonder if there would be enough people locally who want to moderate? That’s the biggest issue imo, along with it being taken over by concerns about schools and/or gross gossip.

I believe Topix was completely anonymous and unmoderated, and it was a train wreck. As a citizen of my town I was embarrassed that it existed. I remember specifically that any time a local principal made any changes at her school vile comments and threats would be posted about her. It was a major concern in her life until the whole site was taken down.

How to keep it from becoming disgusting like Topix? Vile things were said on those forums.

I have seen multiple references to running software “on a potato” in the last hour. What in the world does it mean to run something on a potato? (Like… pickle electricity? That’s all I’ve got.) Please advise…

Also, does using Lemmy get me enough cred to get a high-paying tech job? Teaching in a public school isn’t paying the bills…

a/s/l ?
