Big companies are driven by profit and power. I don’t expect us to keep them out but it would be nice to prevent them from becoming the default, or else we’ll just repeat the same thing over again
Multiple smaller communities connected together is the best strategy for a free internet IMO
The casual user is not the informed user

People tend to upvote and believe anything that already has a lot of upvotes. Seeing downvotes is a good red flag to warn users to not blindly believe everything they see with positive karma.
I think the current system is harder to manipulate than reddit
Oh, I misunderstood then. It sounded to me like they were saying lemmy was more vulnerable
How is that different than what’s currently on reddit? Unless you are talking about 5 years ago, modern reddit is filled with manipulated conversations
Any conversation, be it political or commercial. All it takes is something sounding confident, a grain of truth and lots of upvotes to convince people.
That’s why I like seeing downvoted as a red flag people can pay attention to

Yeah, the trust based algo is how they operate wikipedia. Basically it rates users on their edits and accuracy, Ina very slow and time consuming manner for the mods. But it means that users get “trust ranks” for their contributions and have more power based on their rank.
Used on a social media platform will be an interesting experiment, especially if it gets federated. Could be good or bad
Wikipedia is also making social platform too, called WT Social. It’s not federated unfortunately, but maybe that makes it easier to moderate
Edit: The beta is here

The tribes series, or z-axis games, where you are able to move up and down as well as the traditional x-y movement you see in virtually all games. Usually set as shooters, they are fast paced movement games that have a huge skill curve which is why they aren’t made that often. Super fun when you get the hang of it though
