Venia Silente

Has both a piracy and a privacy community, which is nice and probably leads to fun mishaps / mistypings. It’s pretty lean to federate to and fro as well, same with the UI.

Just about the only negative I can consider is their position pro AI, but I can live with that, the world is pretty close to the end anyway.

1. No. There is no particular reason why there needs to be one (say) twitter alternative. Heck, there is not even a reason why there should be a alternative. Fediverse is allowed to be their own things.
2. But each site already has their front page. See eg.: lemmy.dbzer0.com. Alternatively if you meant “each software”, that’s more-or-less what join-lemmy.org is doing.
3. No but yes.
4. I’m not sure that leads to where you think it leads to. That would require authenticating users financially, for one, else it becomes a dark pattern magnet for suckpuppeting.
5. Mostly absolutely yes. I think I’ve seen it discussed a few times under “fediverse identity” or something like that.

As a former lemmeezen, RIP, F, it was a good trip, quite decent service, but now it’s time to spread out.

db0 is being nice so far, and I even got an account on my country’s lemmy.

Sure, I agree with that. However, we also need to consider what a “net decrease in productivity” actually means for the population as a whole, and whether it’s something we want to accept as a trade-off for more free time.

Skill issue. You know turns exist, right? Just hire two turns of people who work 3 days a week, and bam! You cover 6 weeks of work. Heck, you are hiring more people so you are creating more employment!

And that’s all even before machines and AI completely replace the need for that work, anyway.

Pfff that’s coward numbers. I’ll do you one better:

We should get a 3-day work week.

Stamping pawseal of approval on every print!

Wait, it works for you, too?

“You’re doin’ it wrong, hooman.”

Capitalism shows that it does indeed work! Just not for the average us.

So yeah, a metaphor for capitalism.

We’ve both looked into the abyss. But when the abyss stared back at us, you went woosa good kitten yes u aaaaaaa

With how costly that turd was, you should have saved it and put it on display somewhere.
