It was a selling point at some point I believe, just like Bluesky was the 'nice' place (it turned out to perhaps be even worse than twitter tho).
I think there can be a bit too much Pura Vida, let's all pretend we've just met each other in a hostel lol. But this is just not life, or interesting.

2025-04-02 23:46:08

Need to go back to watching some classics I've never seen. But also been enjoying reading comic books on a laptop screen. Didn't think I would, feels like a weird substitution say from YouTube or trying another crap new film or TV show.
Obviously I would prefer a tablet device thing.
But yeah recommending YACReader, no idea if it's the best or anything, but works really well.

Sure but that's not what we're talking about really, it's a (I would argue, artificially placed) encouragement mechanic within a system.

I could be totally wrong.
But is there anything gamified that is
A) somthing meaningful and B) the participants aren't already invested in the idea of the meaningfulness of it.
I think I see gamifying almost on a par with a form of trickery for crap which isn't actually meaningful to begin with.
I do think you could probably make a strong case for stuff which is undoing a negative, like gamifying addiction recovery.
Again, I'm just pondering and but feeling

Let's say some Ethereum heads built a decentralised, censorship resistant social media protocol. It's not on the blockchain or anything, they're just really into Ethereum. They post about the price of Ethereum all the time tho. 70% of users are called something or other dot Eth. They say Ethereum slogans a lot, like A LOT. Especially when the price of Ethereum goes up or down drastically.

Nostr slowly grows because weirdos find it by rummaging through the bins down the pissy "decentralised web" alleyway. It also has some bitcointwitter 'people' who join because they saw the 800th video of some bitfluencer pay for a cappuccino with lightning and mention nostr. There's too much focus on catering to the latter and not on the former. The weirdos tend to leave after a while unfortunately.
I mostly blame primal.

Is there no way a client can 'learn' what you like and start giving recommendations. Could be very simple, merely people who are also mentioning a shared interest a few times. Or more complex too, I imagine. No idea.

They should actively look for interesting accounts to recommend. If they asked people would also help. And they could include more accounts which aren't just Bitcointwitter2 rubbish. It's not actually all that hard.
The list they have actually puts a lot of people off. Same with their sidebar.
If you look at that sidebar you'd be under the impression this is a bitcoin telegram group.
And although that might be true, it's a bad impression and a feedback loop.

> Dozens of small internet forums have blocked British users or shut down as new online safety laws come into effect, with one comparing the new regime to a British version of China’s “great firewall”.
Several smaller community-led sites have stopped operating or restricted services, blaming new illegal harms duties enforced by Ofcom from Monday.
They range from a hamster owners’ forum, a local group for residents of the Oxfordshire town of Charlbury, and a large cycling forum.
The hosts of the lemmy.zip forum, hosted in Finland, blocked users from the UK accessing the site, saying the measures “pave the way for a UK-controlled version of the ‘great firewall’”.
