I imagined, but I was too lazy to actually look at the colors lol. Thanks for explaining :)

Wouldn't the second one make more sense as an upside down pyramid?

there is a small contingent of .world liberals who I’m sure will take this opportunity to bash anyone to their left.

They are very active though, and they don't lose their chance to mention and antagonize .ml, which I think is kind of shitty. It happens even in threads where people are commenting about stuff unrelated to politics. lemmy.world is constantly looking for targets to defederate from.

edit: I'd like to mention that I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just giving my perspective on it.

Thank you for the tip. I will resort to it if it happens again. :)

To be fair, it's a laptop with an Nvidia GPU. Though I only use Intel's integrated graphics in a clean, vanilla Fedora 39 installation (no weird extras or tricks on top). I actually installed it from scratch because switching from Gnome made some things a bit iffy.

I've had issues with windows disappearing into corners I can't reach in my own screen (happens with Firefox, not sure if other applications are affected as well), random and complete freezes (keyboard nonresponsive) and I can't drag and drop files from the file manager into mpv or view files properly with it or Fedora's default video player for KDE. Gnome as limited as it is, manages to be a way smoother experience.

I really want to like KDE but my experience hasn't been the same. I even donated to the project lol.

I like the UX KDE gives over Gnome. It feels way more like a personal computer, something that you can modify and do multiple tasks with.

Gnome is a lot more limited in functionality, but it's also a lot more stable. KDE is buggy and has a tendency to crap the bed a few minutes after startup, which never happened to me with Gnome.

It's a though decision, but lately I've been thinking of switching back to Gnome.

From what I'm understanding he's trying to make a platform that allows for stuff like Roblox to happen. Just that he's trying to make it robust from the start with proper, good tools in Source 2.

I honestly do want it to become bigger. We need to share and produce more and constantly, otherwise it will wither. I'm interested in your opinion though, if you're willing to share your discrepancies, I'll read it.

Also, yeah. Since lemmy.ml and the main developers are marxists, ML can be understood as marxist-leninist. Big lefty influence on many instances. Honest question though: Have you tried posting ML links or opening discussion threads on it?

It depends on which instances you visit, the one I'm in is pretty chill, but slow. Though it does have a Chilean theme going on, so it might be harder for you to find something interesting.

It's about creating and keeping things moving rather than just consuming. I wouldn't expect lemmy to move as fast as reddit because the focus isn't in having an algorithm or creating a selection of communities to prop up the front page. It depends a lot more on the user's curiosity to find an interesting space to comment or share links or media. Removing the commercial aspect of it, removes a big drive for engagement by design.

Lemmy being free of modern engagement tools will always make it a slower, less interesting site than reddit or any other social website. It could have a similar fate to older web forums if we expect it to perform just like commercial social networks, we should be conscious of that and refrain from proprietary networks and visit lemmy or other fediverse alternatives when it's interesting to us.

The reality of most of this websites is that they aren't really necessary in our lives, the reason they're kept alive is because they're designed to make us keep an eye on them and fill us with not actually necessary content. We aren't users, we are used by corporations so they can put an ad in between, or to gather information about us, so that their customers (those who pay for ad space) can pay for their service making the best targeted ad campaigns possible.

I'm not sure if you are really active on lemmy's ML communities, but there's plenty in lemmy.ml. I don't participate in them, but I do try to keep posting in the instance I like, you're welcome to post and comment wherever you like. :)

And twitter is doing pretty good, right?
