Elongating this meme with a “Red” on the other side with a burning hot coal ember haha…

Oh, now that’s a great steak!

Exactly. In my current state persistence is key. The question “When do you want to give up the fight?” is a good one. Im hoping that everyone can get a world where they feel mostly happy. Things might go bad quickly but it’s important to remember the small things and create happiness for yourself, even if temporary (it always is).

Shit sucks; deal with it. Also you know be cool to people and they’ll be cool back.

Hoping eventually that will be the way it should work, but it would also be smart to have small subs here that way if something crazy happens people can still communicate.

I don’t think the tribal instinct is particularly wrong here though. I think it will be a natural part of this place to some extent. I know that certain communities have decided to close off a bit more. For even personal or safety reasons I think this is a good idea.

At a larger scale I think it will make this a very very interesting part of the internet. The entire ActivityPub/Fediverse is actually the most viable replacement for all of these social media websites collapsing at the same time.

Allowing all sorts of different types of communities to talk to each other is amazing. Allowing them their own democratic agency in who they associate with is going to be even better!

I’m really excited where this tech is headed. I think “the killer app” here is that everything melds together. Eventually a news company will publish directly here and the reporters/opinion writers will comment here too.

It’s Twitter/Web 1.0/Reddit wrapped into one. Maybe more.

That’s kind of awesome, but might be terrifying at a certain magnitude. Though I will say that at a certain level it would be hilarious to have celebrity drop-ins that are are just like “lol no”.

They’re all heirloom tomatoes. There are heirloom varieties of other things too. Tons of more flavors exist than what you are presented in the supermarket!

That was just a CGI landscape, not really a teaser

Shit ChatGPT is a better recipe writer than 99% of people.

This is where federation works anyway. Whoever comes here making posts from an account with more real life authority has a lot more to lose.

The trade off is some random exec could post here but since they are @exec that’s just them (obviously with a small grain of salt).

Federation just means that you can interact with as much or as little real life as you want. Some random Karen from Wichita, KS could call you weak on her fully fleshed out life story profile on some weird anonymous hamburger helper support group.

I think we do need to keep letting this play out though. It’s a very interesting experiment. There are definitely problems that need to be solved going forward but I think this place will be fine.

Having a whitelist and a blacklist seems like it would be really smart for federation. You could chain hashtags and specific users into it too. Once Lemmy and others start showing up managing content is going to be critical.
