I don't miss karma being a thing (and people focusing on growing it by pleasing as many as possible, instead of focusing on content) but I'm also past the age of getting good/bad grades for doing my homework or for participating in class ;)
I'm pretty sure introducing karma will boost low effort reddit-like posts. And those don't need any encouragement, imho.
My opinion?
I doubt such a person will ever be able to realize public space is not hers and is not there for her to use as she pleases. Public space is, well, public and shared between everybody and as such must be used with consideration to others. What would that incredibly tolerant (towards herself/her kids) lady say if I was to, say, come sit right next to her and loudly fart while she is eating her sandwich?
She can let her kids splash (and fart as loudly and) as much as they/she wants in her own home. Heck, she can even let them burn her house down if she thinks it's good for them. But what will she say the day her kids get hurt doing some stupid shit like that?
Does she really need a fucking 'handbook' to understand the cosmic level of stupidity she's reaching for? That's so unbelievably clueless and egoistical. But whats so sad is to realize it's not even surprising anymore.
I will have one last thought for those poor kids, just imagining the kind of teens and young adults she's preparing them to be :(
My main Lemmy account on jlai.lu where I got all my subs, another one on another instance I only use to admin a community over there (there is less bugs when using a local account over a remote one), and one Mastodon account that I almost never use—it's just, I don't know, maybe it's an age thing (50+) but I'm not that interested in receiving constant flow of short messages, even less so when said messages are so often emotional and/or polemical (as a general rule, I try to stay away from anger and resentment).
I have a few more accounts on various platforms I tried here and there and decided to not use. So, I would say those don't count.
Dos this mean you have some kind of server running at home? (sorry if it's a silly question)
!journaling@sh.itjust.works keeps on growing (437 users, today), but still very little participation.
I'm counting on the new subscribers to make a difference in the long run as I imagine most of the old user base is AFK like the original admin/creator (there were approx 200-230 users when I was given the keys to the community, and it had been hibernating for at the very least a whole year before I started posting). Hopefully with the number of new users steadily growing, and them becoming less 'new' a few should start participate more ;)
Don't be (it will not help you and it won't change a thing). Not forgetting that they're free to do whatever they want. No one is right or wrong, it's just... not ideal as it is ;)
Also, seeing how this is becoming kinda trendy topic relayed outside Lemmy I would not be surprised to see even more appearing. Say 'use-european' 'Support-european' 'made-in-Europe' (this one has my preference :p) and their obvious mirrors 'made-in-the-EU', 'support-the-EU', and so on.
I don't know about the other users but I can't be bothered with too many similar communities (2 is really a maximum as far as I'm concerned, after that it's just a mess that requires way too much time/energy from me to get anything out of it). So, I will ignore trends and focus on those communities whose moderation/participation I appreciate the most ;)
Yes, there are quite a few approximations in the list ;)
in the EU/Western Europe, as an e mail provider I would suggest in no order: maibox.org, proton, tuta and owning your own domain but that one last option (teh best one, imho) may already be too technical for most users.
It's an email client, not an email provider. It can be used to receive/send emails from almost any provider, not to create new ones.
but I’d like them to do it with a pen and paper so I might need to change my approach for a while for us to do it together. Something I’ll do if they start to show interest.
Seeing you do it would certainly be a great way to motivate them trying doing it like you. Also, +1 to let them show any sign of interest first, that's great.
LO is good software.
It replaced MSOffice Word for me (and I had been using Word since the early 90s). It also has a few extensions one may want to consider adding. Stuff like extra dictionaries for example, or better (than the default provided) ePub/HTML export tools.
In French, it would be better to use "Achetez" (third person plural, considerate the polite form) instead of the much more informal "Achète".
Also, I would suggest to make circle of stars broader, broad enough to include the slogan in its entirety. There is room left around each flag for that, and fr the few ones where it won't be enough (like the last one) it won't be enough, it should be ok to make the font a tad smaller/play with spacing on that one flag.
Edit: clarification.
