DMT Dank Microwave Taco
Let’s take a trip on DMT. Welcome to the Dank Microwave Taco or DMT for short. Anything and everything goes in here. Be sure to share your experience on DMT with your friends, family and social media. @WiggleHard bans nothing and exiles nobody (Dont doxx wolfballs users, no posting of porn/nudes or foot fetish material unless it involves political scandals, no ads for sex sites or dating sites; do that on your own time, no solicitation for pyramid scams, no posting job advertisements unless from official job sites, no posts supporting pedophilia, not all love is love) also: (we cannot allow violations of the patriot act concerning how we speak, no calls for violence, suggesting you are personally harming someone ect. These things are not free speech protected by law but actually against the law and could get the website shut down.) (no spam posting, especially spam posting of what could be considered symbols of hate) examples: guy posting nazi flag 5 times in one day, guy posting “whitey is the devil over and over, im going to use my best judgement on this one rule)

Blue Dwarf is a nice little forum, glad you found it
yeah idk if the move solves the problem, I was thinking about this a little and it seems people need to somehow be incentivized to talk to each other even if they disagree on things, not sure how to accomplish this
on neutral things it may be mutually beneficial to cooperate, like on discussing solutions to math problems which then could be used for a computer application everyone can use
I actually think the tipping mechanism in nostr helps. It's so easy to send someone penny's people will start paying others to say nice things and that will attract more participation. But that could be used on any platform. What nostr solves is decentralized identities which solves deplatforming issues. The fediverse doesn't have any solutions to de-platforming. Because it never tried to solve that problem. When people realize that on both facebook and the fediverse when they are banned they lose all their followers but on nostr they don't I think they will understand the value of spending your time on nostr instead of the fediverse. Why would I invest years posting on a platform that can take away all my followers at a whim when I can instead do it on a platform where no one can? From a user's perspective nostr just destroys activity pub. From the perspective of someone wanting to control narrative it's a nightmare.
I'm not sure how much tipping helps. Do we have an evidence of it working before for a social network of sorts? I suppose there's twitch subs, superchats, and podcast 2.0 type things that seem to be working, but the traction really isn't there.
Well, and cam whores, but I don't think money people spend on sex translates well to other things.
If you think about it it helps drastically in content creation. Patreon and subscribe star have created whole businesses off the idea. If you get a little money for posting you will be more likely to post. That's why twitter is trying to bribe people to stay by paying top posters with money people have spent signing up for xeeter premium.
Yea, it's true that locals, rumble, and the one's you mention support content creators.
I was thinking on a smaller scale. Like, if I send you cash for a pleasant discussion rather than I send someone cash who is trying to appeal to be a content creator specifically for income.
It like directly goes to your nervous system. We are hard wired to repeat behavior that has rewards.
True, but often times, when we do something a lot of people enjoy, it's a chance happening. Unless we're hyperfocused on the point of making money in the first place, like designer bands and the like.
