As Reddit Crushes Protests, Its User Traffic Returns to Normal

I know that is bs because I haven’t been there in days and I probably added 100 visits a day to their stats. So they’re at least a couple hundred shy.
The article mentions 55.31 million daily visits (average). You decreased their stats by 0.00018%. Even if all new active lemmy users had your level of activity, the other site would still return to normal. There are just so many other users.

I'm afraid that's just bubble bias. Most people just don't care or haven't found a viable alternative yet. These +43k active users on Lemmy are huge for Lemmy, but not even a scratch for the other site.
After the initial exodus at the start of this month, you could see more and more comments demanding returning to business as usual.

Utopia (from Ουτοπία) is an impossible Vision of the future, while Evtopia (from Ευτοπία) is the best possible Vision.
Interesting. I never heard of Evtopia, and I also did not understand Utopia as necessarily impossible. Could be possible or impossible, depends on context.
- https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/utopia
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopia#Etymology_and_history
I also don't think being unreachable is necessarily a bad thing. Consider an 'Ideal'. Although some ideals may never be fully actualized, they are seen as something good and worth pursuing nevertheless.
But mostly, I don't think the opinions of proponents or opponents of this idea are swayed by wether we call it Utopia or Evtopia. If anything, using the more common term makes it more relatable.

"Cis" and "trans" are different types of a person's.... what?

You’d think if it was all basic biology we would just have a unique gender for every one wouldn’t you?
Nothing in biology is exactly identical between individuums. A common eye color is brown, although there are as many shades of brown as there are people.
It is just practical and how language, or even perception works, that we tend to categorize similarities, and strongly favor common occurrances over outliers.
the doctor is describing your phenotypic sex based on observable characteristics.
Your doctor is assigning you a gender.
Maybe you two aren't even disagreeing?
I'd say the doctor tries to assign the new born into male or female according to biological sex, and gender is inferred from that.
He calls you either a boy or a girl based on your genital configuration
Yes, that's what I mean. A two-step process. First, biological expression is assessed. Next, based on #1, social gender is inferred.

"Cis" and "trans" are different types of a person's.... what?
Spzi 1 year ago • 100%
Basically, do you identify as your birth gender (not sex, gender and sex are different)?
The additional explanation actually confused me. Let's compare the two sentences:
-
A) Basically, do you identify as your birth gender?
-
B) Basically, do you identify as your birth sex?
I assume biological sex can be identified by looking at your body as a new born baby, and gender is usually inferred accordingly. So I would assume new borns are being assigned a gender which mathes their biology, although they probably don't have any opinions themselves on the topic.
Anyways, what's the difference between A and B? I feel you felt it was important to point it out, and I just can't see any.

If you buy local, and go with the seasons, I'd argue it is rather hard to not have all three (cheap, delicious, healthy) at the same time.
You won't have to rely on produce which is optimized for long transports but can tap into fresh, original flavors. Ripe fruits and vegetables from the fields, harvested just this morning. And because they all ripen now, quality maximizes when prize minimizes.

When they run the most and the biggest popular communities on their instances, do most of the development, offer the best tools and services in the fediverse, they have become too big to ignore.

Forget contacts. Imagine Meta has
- poured way more developing hours in their fork than the FOSS community ever could
- the most effective and easy to use mod tools
- the best search tools for finding communities, topics and everything else (by a margin)
- free instance hosting
- every major wish list feature implemented
- a working feed with endless content you actually find interesting
- a vibrant community for every niche interest you might have
- advanced development so much that it feels a couple versions ahead
The more money they throw at this, the more people will feel tempted to join or at least try their service. It offers objective benefits. It would feel like using lemmy 0.09 when others already enjoy 0.18.

There’s nothing wrong with Lemmy’s user interface design.
The first step is a UX disaster: https://join-lemmy.org/
Only 2 clicks / pages down the road you can start registering an account, and you don't see what the experience might be before that. Instead, you're being presented tech talk about servers.
You might argue it's not actually lemmy but just the landing page. I argue, it's so good at being a scarecrow, most people visiting lemmy haven't seen anything else except for that page.
The inner lemmy is pretty fine, I agree. Some parts are still confusing. For example, most people will not figure out they can search for content from within a specific community by carefully configuring the drop downs in the general search form. Most will look for the search directly attached to the community.

If Meta plays dirty, defederate them then. Now is just too premature.
These actors play nice until they are too big to ignore. If you let them gain that much ground, it's too late to isolate them without doing even more harm to your own network.
Also Meta is not a startup with unknown reputation. Meta plays dirty, that's a given.

We have built a machine-learning algorithm that evaluates the location of each fire detected by firms, and assesses whether or not it is related to the war. It consists of 100 separate models built to predict fire activity in non-war years. If at least 95 of these models agree that the number of fires identified at a given place and time is abnormally high by pre-war standards, the algorithm marks these “extra” fires as war-related.

Yes, sorry for being unclear. I meant the bad 'guy' Meta. Maybe continuing with 'entity' would have been better:

The best way to deal with them is-in my opinion-to not cooperate and defederate them as soon as they start to enter.
I tend to agree. Still quite new to the topic.

[Embrace, Extend, Extinguish] How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse)
Spzi 1 year ago • 100%
Sehr guter Beitrag, ja! Ich sehe eigentlich keine Chance für den Fall, dass das Fediverse weiter wächst?
Meta kann uns auf mehreren Ebenen durcheinanderwirbeln, und alle sind per Design weit offen dafür.
Sie können mehr Content, mehr User, mehr Aktivität haben, was sie für große Teile des bisherigen Fediverse unwiderstehlich attraktiv macht.
Sie können Features implementieren, die sich die Leute wünschen. Eine gut implementierte Suchfunktion, Community Grouping, einen einfachen Account Transfer, Search Engine Lookup, KI-gestützte Mod-Tools.
Ist doch letztlich nur eine Frage von: Wie interessant ist das Fediverse für Meta, und wie interessant macht sich Meta wiederum für das Fediverse?
Klar wird es eine Gruppe von Instanzen oder Leuten geben, die sich durch nichts bezirzen lassen, aber vermutlich wird es für die meisten Leute ab irgend einem Punkt vernünftiger erscheinen, zumindest teilweise zu folgen.
Was lässt sich dagegen effektiv unternehmen?

How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse)
Spzi 1 year ago • 80%
I'm worried this will not be enough in the long run.
Imagine Meta provides more original content, a higher user base, more engagement, more activity. That alone would make it interesting for many other users, further increasing their relative attractivity.
Additionally, they could invest in the codebase, and implement some of the community's dream features, some nice mod tools, search engine discoverability and whatnot. On a fork which lives on their instances, of course. Services which work if you federate with them.
They have the resources to rase the stakes higher and higher. The incentives are objective, real, advantages for users, communitites, mods and admins. Isn't it only a question of time / stake height until significant parts of the fediverse choose to cooperate for various reasons?
Spzi 1 year ago • 100%
We should be honest and ensure people join the Fediverse because they share some of the values behind it.
How could that be done? Anyone with the resources can host an instance, and there are plenty of instances with a low entry bar.
If the fediverse grows enough, we can be sure some entities will join not because they share our values, but because they see our value.
I don't see how we could prevent that or ensure only good guys enter. The fediverse is open by design.
Spzi 1 year ago • 100%
the powers that be must never be allowed to join the fediverse
How are they not allowed? How is it checked, how prevented?
As I see it, they can freely use the code, freely set up instances, freely create user accounts on their own or other instances, with 'independent' users, employees or bots.
The only thing stopping them is the current fediverse's insignificance. We're just not tasty enough, yet. But if we become, how could we disallow them from joining?
Spzi 1 year ago • 100%
Let them join…and be ignored.
I see the threat in the sheer developing power of these giants, making all the shiny tools people were wanting, making their service too attractive to be ignored.

I disagree on moderation, I don’t think any #Fediverse admin would trust #Meta enough to use their software for moderation.
I found the example interesting in principle. We can think of varieties besides moderation. What other features are highly requested and sought after?
What about an easy way to find, join, and engage with even niche communities? Comm lookup and joining is wonky, especially when coming from small instances. Another related feature is user-side grouping of similar comms into one multi-community. Or being able to easily move between instances, relocate your account. Better indexing for web searches.
The list of possible features, ranging from QoL to Enablers, is endless. Big companies with coding experience can easily dominate the scene, and make it hard to not join them or use their service. Their mere presence could spell dependence.
Like I heard we're using lemmy 0.18 now. Would you voluntarily still use an older version, like 0.9, when you can just as well use 0.18?
Spzi 1 year ago • 100%
If they have any ability to post to the Fediverse or to track things they’ll do it all over again.
They have that ability, and always will have. They can create as many accounts as they like on as many instances as they like, or run as many instances as they like themselves, use incentivized individuals, or employees, or bots, or any combination of all of the above. No one can stop them, maybe even no one can spot them.
The only thing which is holding them back right now is lemmy/kbin still being too insignificant. If the network continues to grow, more and more big corps will see it as a market and an opportunity, and they will have plenty of ways to interact with it.
Spzi 1 year ago • 100%
if Google or Meta wants to join they should to us not us to them so if they break federation we should not care and continue implement our stuff
As I understood the article, the danger is that large actors like these are too important too ignore. Too many users, too much content to neglect. So while in theory you are obviously right, in reality there will be a temptation to cater to their needs, because it seems so worthwhile.

It's an open issue on GitHub, and was featured in the recent dev blog:
At the same time, we are seeing lots of requests to implement major new features, such as migration between instances, or combining similar communities. As described above, we are completely overloaded with work, and definitely won’t have time to implement these in the near future. If there is a feature you want to see implemented, you will likely need to work on it yourself, or find someone who can.
So no, currently you can't move. You can only create a new account on another instance, and start using that instead. At least you're still on the same platform.
Given the popularity of the issue, I would assume it will find a solution. But given no one is assigned to it yet, we probably still have no people willing to work on it.

The world’s largest democracy is collapsing before our eyes
Spzi 1 year ago • 100%
relatively homogenous
Some may be surprised by the cultural diversity this rather small country packs:
It has four main linguistic and cultural regions: German, French, Italian and Romansh. Although most Swiss are German-speaking, national identity is fairly cohesive, being rooted in a common historical background, shared values such as federalism and direct democracy,[15][page needed] and Alpine symbolism.[16][17] Swiss identity transcends language, ethnicity, and religion, leading to Switzerland being described as a Willensnation ("nation of volition") rather than a nation state.[18]
Due to its linguistic diversity, Switzerland is known by multiple native names: Schweiz [ˈʃvaɪts] (German);[f][g] Suisse [sɥis(ə)] (French); Svizzera [ˈzvittsera] (Italian); and Svizra [ˈʒviːtsrɐ, ˈʒviːtsʁɐ] (Romansh).[h] On coins and stamps, the Latin name, Confoederatio Helvetica — frequently shortened to "Helvetia" — is used instead of the spoken languages.
I also think the local traditions differentiating down to single villages are more important and alive than in other countries.
But yes, "national identity is fairly cohesive", maybe you meant that.

0:23 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=23s > But there's one lame excuse that is so common, so prevalent, so ubiquitous, that I want to talk about it and that's ***the excuse that "My country is too big to have trains, bicycle infrastructure, walkable neighborhoods or whatever."*** --- 1:27 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=87s > So when someone new to walkable cities sees an example of a great City and they realize it's clearly better than where they live, their first gut reaction is to grab any difference between the two and make that the reason as to why their city can't be the same. --- 2:26 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=146s > So why is this argument so stupid? Well, quite simply, Americans aren't traveling from Fluffy Landing to Hump Tulips every day. Canadians aren't traveling from Dildo to Spasm every day, and Australians aren't traveling from Chinaman's Knob to Useless Loop every day --- 2:55 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=175s > They travel within their city, so the only thing that really matters to most people is the design of that City. --- 3:05 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=185s > For example, [in the United States, over 45 percent of trips - all trips - are three miles or less](https://files.catbox.moe/0od4as.png) (that's five kilometers for the rest of my audience). These are distances that could be easily done by walking or cycling. So despite the size of the country, and the sprawliness of the cities, Americans don't actually travel that far for most trips, but unsurprisingly, almost all of those trips are taken by car because it's too dangerous to walk or cycle, and public transportation is non-existent, which again is the whole point. --- 4:18 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=258s > The problem is not cars, it's car dependency. We need to give people the freedom to not to have to drive. --- 4:35 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=275s > This is where Americans will claim that America is too big for trains, which is absolutely comical, because America was literally built by the railroads, and so was Canada. --- 5:01 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=301s > Nearly every town, city and village in the United States and Canada had a train station and was connected by rail, with very few exceptions. And almost every city and town had a streetcar line too, with very few exceptions. And every one of those places was built to be walkable, as every one of those places was built before automobiles were common. Again, with very few exceptions. > A hundred years ago, you could get a train from almost any city to just about any other city on the continent, and even many towns and villages, too. The reason those train stations don't exist anymore is because they were bulldozed, often to make room for highways, along with the walkable downtowns they were connected to. --- 5:46 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=346s > American cities were not built for the car, they were bulldozed for the car. --- 6:03 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=363s > There are [dozens of city pairs in the U.S that are the perfect population and distance for high-speed rail or high frequency rail](https://files.catbox.moe/3x0wct.png), and [CityNerd has made a video about this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlxohbiQG6Y&t=232s) if you'd like more details. --- 6:16 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=376s > Canada may be a huge country, but about 50 percent of the entire population lives in this little area, which is literally in a line. --- 6:27 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=387s > [This is Japan to scale](https://files.catbox.moe/x3oq3l.png), the country famous for all it's trains. So yes, Canada, you can build a high-speed train between Toronto and Montreal. --- 6:37 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=397s > Here's [China with it's high-speed rail map](https://files.catbox.moe/0weo5j.png). --- 7:17 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=437s > The Schengen zone is not constant and new countries are being added every few years. For example, Croatia was just added in 2023 and Bulgaria, Romania, Cyprus and Montenegro plan to join in the near future. But if that happens, will Amsterdam need to tear up all their bike lanes, because the Schengen zone is too big? No, of course not, that would be stupid. Which is the same reason why saying America is too big for bike lanes is also stupid. --- 7:45 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=465s > The fact is, it is possible to build walkable neighborhoods everywhere. They have existed in every country on Earth for thousands of years, and it is possible to connect those walkable places together by high quality public transportation, to make it so that people can go from any walkable area to any other walkable area regardless of the size of the city the country or the continent. --- 8:18 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=498s > Even if size did matter, then [why isn't Maryland covered in bike lanes and train tracks, or Hawaii, or Prince Edward Island](https://files.catbox.moe/w7vvat.png)? --- 10:22 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=622s > [The United States destroys over 750'000 acres of natural and agricultural land every year](https://www.farmprogress.com/business/urban-sprawl-erodes-rural-lands) [*note: the source talks about 1,200 square miles*] to build sprawling suburbs.

Looking for communities related to the [Unity Game Engine](https://unity.com/). It's a pain to search for, since every comm***unity*** was made with Unity :) Alternatively, can I force tools like https://browse.feddit.de/ to only show 'exact' matches, discarding 'contains'?

I use this tool when I'm looking for a place to move home. While the maps for walking and cycling look rather unsurprising, the maps for driving and public transports can reveal surprising insights. I don't want to check apartments only to find out they are too far away from my points of interest. And with too far away, I naturally mean *time, not distance*. Traveltime Maps helps with that. So I create a map layer centered around my workplace, a layer for friends, a layer for another point of interest. The common overlap area is the area in which I would be willing to live. By definition, all my regular trips can be done within the time limit I find acceptable. An example for Tokyo, public transport, 75 minutes:

This is a guide for those who want to get more XP, or who want to climb the weekly league to diamond and stay on top. This perspective is not about learning a language, but to maximize time efficiency and XP gain. --- 1. Timed Challenges Check which language course has your favorite [timed challenge](https://duoplanet.com/duolingo-timed-challenges/). Different courses can have different challenges at the same time. * My favorite is Lighting Round. Match Madness is the worst. The later levels are impossible (?) to complete. It becomes increasingly harder, but the rewards for completing stage 1 or 2 remain the same. So the best you can do is to stay in the first level, and quit after stage 1. Low reward, but at least quick. Choosing an easy language helps a lot. Arabic is rather hard as a language, but quite efficient in terms of XP, since most practice/challenge rounds consist of very easy pseudo-Arabic exercises. These are easy to memorize and quick to complete. ** --- 2. XP Boosts You get two XP boosts per day. You need to complete one lesson in the evening and one lesson in the morning to unlock them. These boosts can be used the next day in the same time period and expire if you don't. You get another XP boost whenever you complete a set of lessons (e.g. "5 of 5", full circle). This boost activates immediately and cannot be stored. XP boosts affect your account; you can switch to another course while retaining the boost. This means you can complete a set of lessons in an easy language, and switch to another language (for example with your favorite timed challenge). This also allows you to 'store' boosts for quick access if you keep a few courses with almost completed lessons to finish them to unlock the boost when needed. You get an XP boost of double length (30 minutes) when completing a friend's quest. This boost can be stored for up to 6 days (?). Use it to get a head start in ladders, or to overtake a competitor before the ladder ends. --- 3. Ladders Most people do not approach duolingo competitively, but some do. When a new league has started, check the weekly graph of each competitor. This will inform you wether they have rather consistent, or erratic behaviour. The erratic types can be dangerous. Some people can suddenly make 10k XP in a day and displace you from your top spot. Most try to rather continuously gain XP, and seem to be encouraged by competition close in reach. You don't want that. To frustrate the latter type, and be better prepared against the former, try to build as much XP as possible as soon as you join your league (friend's quest boost, boosts from other courses). This can compell others to believe it would be pointless to compete against you, and everyone has a more relaxed week. It also makes it harder for surprise attacks. Try to maintain or increase the distance to #2 over the week, to not give them any ideas. --- 4. School You can sign up for free to https://schools.duolingo.com/. This will * remove ads from your account, which saves time. * allow you to toggle between normal and infinite hearts. * remove the possibility to watch ads for gems, which is a net loss in gems gain, but might be worth for the ad free experience. * remove the gem cost for timed challenges, which allows to restart them freely, or abandon for early XP These effects stay in place after you left the school course, so you can have both these benefits and participate in regular weekly ladders. --- *) If anyone knows how to check which course has which challenge (ideally a schedule overview), please let me know. Best and only way I currently know is to manually visit them by changing the course. **) What other easy / XP-efficient languages do you know? --- Feel free to add anything that's missing, and please correct any mistakes. How do you approach the competitive side of duolingo, what has worked best for you?
