well, it depends on the culture of the commune but let’s skip this and i’ll just focus on commune as a tool

if it’s used as a tool for escapism, good but it will never scale and ‘‘everyone should be in one’’ it’s just impossible

if, like i dream, it’s used as a tool to offload work of a group of people to allow them to make better politics because being much more resilient to capital swings, cool af u.u

obviously it’s not binary and what i described it’s not even a model with 2 opposites, but i wanted to focus on these cases

weird in betweens like project kamp are very interesting but I still think they focus too much on the being indipendent rather than using the commune as a tool for “greater” scope.

Not having admins spamming would already solve half of that issue lol

To use bonfire, to be even more local (me and the other admin actually live in the same province) and because apparently my social circles are too attached to telegram to post in the open web questions that they can make in our shared groups

Oh and because the main community that should have moved changed idea, so no more being the focal point for political organization in the Italian landscape

Also there is a bug in my ear that keeps repeating that we should just embrace this dark forest internet moment and hide in chat groups like everyone else

AniSocial got the same issues as EuropePub: ton of noise, 0 purposes and discussion.

Even just having the thread to discuss latest one piece chapter would be enough

I made a telegram group to have similar results but it’s still a bit annoying that no one in the open social world wants to fight the trend of hiding into chat groups e-e

yep, we have tons of news posting but few discussion i agree

Adding servers is not going to help the signup issue, it will just make it worse

Other similar servers yes, more themed ones i don’t think so…

what marketing?? there is none for the fediverse

Ye that’s a problem. Marketing as in market of mental space not as in ‘‘buy this one’’

someone jumped the gun on community creation

Yep, exactly why i feel hesitant partecipating in some subs :o

You are right that problably there is not enough interest, but not that someone shouldn’t try anyway u.u

Kinda agree but I’m not so sure about the egg or the chicken first

Belonging is very important and there is clearly a dominant techie culture in generalistic instances right now

slrpnk is a themed instance 😃 (also lemmini, even tho we may close it soon and then make a very local one)

I made the list for “hey look there are opportunities if you want the threadiverse to shine”

No pressure

No but forums work (or don’t if not shared enough) because they have a purpose

With too many generalistic instances you get:

• login paralysis not knowing where to sign up
• bad “””marketing””” because it’s harder to differentiate
• kinda flat culture? I mean every generalistic instance right now it’s mostly techies…
• centralization
• lack of curation because no sense of ownership and belonging

‘‘about’’ is usually always ‘‘about us’’ innit?

btw on the homepage you also got screenshots

the thing is, bonfire is not a single software like mastodon or lemmy, ideally is more like wordpress for platforms

Then someone could say that foss is too much, better go open source and then the environment will have to take care of the stuff that basic licenses won’t take care of

I’d rather strive for the better and look for copyfarleft licenses

I’m gonna quote myself from another comment

In order from little to bigger:

• any ssg like Zola or Pelican
• mataroa.blog
• writefreely
• ghost
• gotosocial
• lemmy :)

Right now I have no time to watch the video, do they talk about the fact that foss is not enough because it’s still easily co-opted by capitalists?

Gandi got sold 2 times

Basically the company went from “no bullshit” to “just another asset for some capitalist fund who only cares about extracting as much value as possible”

It would be so good to have a no profit owned or cooperative European domain seller

The filter is being a pet peeve of mine too these days

I would like to be sure that I’m filtering stuff but looks like filters on miniflux and freshrss just work on future articles so I should do something like put a filter to an rss feed I control and then post and check if it works

Thank you, really appreciated. I was starting to think I was imagining that almost no one read the article understanding it lol

If you classify Canadians defending their own lives and sovereignty

Bro you are posting on an online forum, you are just ranting and coping. If you wanna take a gun and shoot someone go and do it but don’t write it here

not sit there and take it as you suggest

Sure, I was suggesting exactly that. Not like I was asking you to not wish death on 340mln people

you are kinda criticizing the finger that points at the moon (and to be clear, i too disagree with some of the rethorical stuff of the article) but doesn’t really make sense to discuss with this:

Gimme a break. What I feel is that I’ve spent enough time and effort on this

If one of them proposed locking the populace into an eternal doomscroll to keep them from fighting capitalism

I didn’t get to choose that preview, idk if it’s a my bad thing or a lemmy thing

but still i didn’t write that little sum up and it doesn’t really represent the article
