I mean I don't think Russia or China are in for a good time either. Like yes in the short term they will probably gain more control than they had before and globally more countries might take on similar authoritarian structures to theirs but it doesn't stop the clash of egos that comes with being an authoritarian country or the cost they are going to have to incur trying to maintain control over a wider range than they have before especially when global economy becomes massively destabilized (I actually don't think it can collapse in the normal sense that we are used to)

As for workers in the West I think it is a bit of a wait and see. They could be under a "good" government and the new jobs actually help with stabilizing the economy if combined with unconditional support (UBI or similar) during the transition or they could take the easy way out and use cheap labor from prisons and hope that consumers accept lower quality.

Also what is Brazil's plan?

Edit: put good in air quotes

I think that will change over time as developers choose specific features/platforms to work on and when admins start customizing how their instance displays info more heavily instead of just cosmetic or federation changes.

How about a game where the monsters that you defeat give certain nutrients and allow for certain moves to be cast.

Also it would be cool if the monsters didn't exclusively attack the players, they could attack/help each other plus they could reproduce so it could mimic the ecosystem idea that senshi talked about.

Personally something that I would love to see is a lot of Temporary autonomous zones popping up at once and staying up for as long as possible and moving to another area if necessary. This way people are able to one learn/practice how to live together without the government so when those services start to fail or become hostile they will have alternatives. It will also be important for these spaces to be defend-able and movable.

A lot faster than I expected. I mean its good for the fediverse anyways.

Agreed. No one needs to answer this thread. Actually don't upvote either. Just think and share with others.

Yeah, I hope that no one that answers this gives full detailed plans I just want to know that I am not alone in feeling that we need to change our behaviour and hopefully prompt others to start thinking about what they are going to do. Things are fundamentally different now.

Edit: Also get some books on intentional communities and group survival while you're at it.

Edit2: Sorry just looked at the title didn't read the text. I mean you could try sorting by category or you could get an online list from a librarian about queer books and then manually download from that list of books.

Edit3: You might also be able to ask for help from the person who made this list: https://openlibrary.org/collections/LGBTQ. Most of the books seem to come from the internet archive which makes it easier for a mass download I believe.

Bots have good reason to do it, because it makes them more relatable.

Humans sometimes can't help themselves.

Some dogs like keeping blogs

Curating this volume of content is impossible, and there are legitimate dangers in giving the government too much ability to shut down free speech

Agreed. We have already given more than enough control to the government in other areas of our lives. We now have alternative social platforms that give us a chance to actually have more direct control over our media landscape which hasn't been true in such a long time.

you have to build a society that doesn’t want to engage with bigotry, and explore and question its own assumptions (and that’s not ever a fixed state, it’s an ongoing process).

I think this is what they were trying to get across when they mention media ecology. They were pointing out how the structure of where media is shared and its sources can be more important for quashing disinformation than the actual content itself.

So when something is shared through YouTube there are certain pressures that over time mold the source of information into a specific format.

I'd say the same is true of the Fediverse as well. That's why its important we get the structure here right because it will determine what kind of platform this place turns into.

Edit: grammar

Map of 2000+ lemmy communities (danterious.codeberg.page)

This is my first try at creating a map of lemmy. I based it on the overlap of commentors that visited certain communities.

I only used communities that were on the top 35 active instances for the past month and limited the comments to go back to a maximum of August 1 2024 (sometimes shorter if I got an invalid response.)

I scaled it so it was based on percentage of comments made by a commentor in that community.

Here is the code for the crawler and data that was used to make the map:

Instead of focusing of creating good algorithms to push certain content to users why don't we focus on creating a good map that allows users to find the kind of content they want more easily?

I found this website that created a map of reddit with different countries for different topics and I thought it would translate to lemmy because instances sort of do this already really well.

There are about 6 pages.dev domains spamming lemmy.world communities

The volume is definitely inorganic, and is across a wide range of communities

pages.dev is Cloudflare's site hosting which can be used for free - there are likely many legitimate sites that use that domain, but the current flood is suspicious

chronicleresolve.pages.dev

thefreedomproject.pages.dev

versarch.pages.dev

dailypulse.pages.dev

newssphere-6fu.pages.dev

iniko.pages.dev

miniza.pages.dev

orino.pages.dev

I'm cross posting because @lenny_marlane@lemmy.ml seems to be doing the same thing.

It might be an attack vector or something idk but better safe than sorry.

Not sure about this one but seems to be following same pattern.

I saw this and thought this would be useful in noticing and analyzing trends across the web and fediverse in specific. Which could help with noticing and finding disinformation.
