Do you know where I can find them? I will seed them all
Piracy is cool, but I prefer to use community-driven software rather than ones driven by corporate profits. I prefer a model where many can contribute to it, fork it, and for which making integrations is much easier thanks to its openness.
I do agree that the hard left seems to enjoy using “liberal” as an insult, knowing that what most Americans interpret as “liberal” is different than the academic definition they use. It needlessly diverts the conversation and makes them think they’re superior.
Saying “shitlib” is even worse. Basically an adhom attack, not acceptable when the other party is being civil and respectful.
On #2 and #3, I don’t think that is relevant to the original accusation. Of course they will uphold their own views. But #1 is very valid. Though I wish to see examples of it because I have not.
Do you have examples? I am not doubting, since I’ve seen loads of people saying it. But I’ve never come across it myself.
Lemmy is kinda close to forums and groups. But I do agree I prefer that format over the Reddit-like format.
I wish algorithms were opt-in, transparent, and allowed choice (whether by choosing an algorithm over another, or customizing parameters).
If this were the case, I’d have no issue with algos.
Can you give examples please?
The biggest weakness of using activityPub is it is harder to control compared to rolling out your own incompatible variant.
Feed Algorithms aren’t inherently wrong imo. The problem with typical feed algorithms is two things:
This certainly helps, but I think is not enough. If I go to the “All” feed, I get everything indiscriminately. I wish there was some in between mechanism. I don’t claim to have the answer.
This doesn’t address searchability also.
Searchability is bad.
Growing a new community is hard. I wish people used lemmyverse more often.
Having a fully customizable feed algorithm would be a killer feature.
Maybe would be easy to fork it
By free software you mean the FSF or OSI definition. Many people won’t care, and some of us actively are against corporate leech on free software, which this license helps with.
I’m happy to read reviews on goodreads and bookwyrm, but write reviews only on bookwyrm.
I had no idea about this project. Is it like a better search engine for libgen etc?
Does the fediverse need to maintain its “soul”? As long as it preserves user choice and corporate resistance, the rest isn’t required and can be maintained in those specific instances.
Venture capital backed project. That’s enough for me to avoid when non-corporate options exist. Tired of for-profit corporations ruin open source.
There’s tangible reasons to avoid it, but the VC thing is enough for me.
Uploading like… Torrents?
Wouldn’t get used by corps probably?
