They are trying to be old Reddit? I don’t think there is the demand.

Too many competing services, they don’t have anything that distinguishes themselves, and also took a reputation hit. And many super users there left over mismanagement.

Too many hurdles if good management, and their management sucks

Edit: the only thing that gives them value is their old pages; a makeover would at minimum, hamper that I think

People who support the server have greater voting rights; no revenue steam. But I think it would be cool to sell pirate plushies!

Unrelated: If you code it’s not hard to insert ads in between the comments on your own lemmy instance. It would be a cool experience but probably would create significant vitriol and site wide bannings by most, if not all, major instances for trying.

The problem for most monitization is psychological only ; many ideas would be an unwinnable uphill battle. Yes, can put ads in but also be a leper with zero traffic. You could probably put in perks if have good coding skills or can hire good skills; but if public relations done wrong then you are “poison to the community”.

You could try to do awards ( Reddit gold) but may get laughed off the platform. It’s a tough crowd

Free snacks can change the human race

we only gave the Republicans a three vote margin in the House and the Senate

Many USA states have the vote counting operated by oligarchs with no oversight, using tools that have no transparency or double checking, and the results fail exit polls.

This has been talked about for decades except not by the liberals in the USA. The Democratic Party has sidelined paper ballot progress, stomping down on criticisms of unfair ballot counts, while losing influence in large areas due to ballot manipulation.

The result after 30 years of this is that most American liberals scoff at human witnessed ballot counting, resist talking about it, and have no clue .

Nobody competent can cite voting results across all 50 states without using air quotes or cracking a joke

I think the circumstances as I see it was addressed pretty well by that other commenter who replied twice.

yarn was popular because it could be a drop down replacement for npm. Now there must be a lock in to support edge cases most projects don’t need (or know about)?

I remember when these were heavily discussed in the 1980s; perhaps it will be ready one day.

Some tech always seems out of reach yet possible soon

No!

I commented before reading news, relying on inaccurate half truths.

I mean, I know it will never stop until years later, if that. But for a minute or was hoping it was a little pause

This sounds amazing and inspiring. Thank you for all your hard work; I hope others see this and do more too

I’ve installed from steam after downloading it the deb from the website , and steam self updates. I never had issues on mint, Ubuntu or popos for years.

I really don’t know much, and anyone should take this with a grain of salt: but in my opinion any other way of installing steam on this branch of Linux is asking for trouble

Right? I left after they heavily promoted podcasts I did not feel comfortable about. But their long list of antics and misdeeds kept me away.

This new thing… wow.

When people have limited choices to vote on, voting for a or b does not make them like a or b.

It just means it’s a “boiling the frog situation” when gradually changing the goalposts makes people not notice the real issues.

The average American really has not changed that much from the past generations, but the candidates that are allowed to run in either party have drifted rightward.

If I want to vote for green, and I can choose only on a greyscale, my interpretation of which shade of gray might be closest to green might be a personal choice, highly disputed.
