Thank you! Fixed now.
Not all crypto is Bitcoin, and not all blockchains are based on Proof of Work. Ethereum's Proof of Stake consumes less electricity than all the power used by PlayStation consoles at idle.
Do you think I can just keep the last comment in mind or something?
YES! It's not like votes are worth anything here, but one of the reasons that voting mechanisms become completely useless as a way to signal quality conversations is when people blindly upvote/downvote everything just because they don't like what is being said. People that do what you are doing end up showing more about themselves than about the one posting the comment that you didn't like.
As does the drive to try and split communities
Would you feel so defensive about it if the communities were being hosted in a right-wing instance?
Why would tagging people who downvoted a post prevent a pile-on of downvotes?
Because it makes people think about what about the comment they are downvoting, instead of reflexively clicking on a button.
vote->get called-out seems to fit ‘blackmail’
It does not fit at all. I'm not trying to get anything out of you for my own benefit, and I am not doing it to submit you into compliance.
What I am thinking as a possible solution would be to have some type of "community server", akin to email list servers. The admin of the server becomes a "mere" service provider, and those that create communities are then responsible for moderation and that content being hosted there.
I believe that this would be perfectly possible to implement with Lemmy, so much so that I will add some of this functionality to Fediverser as part of my NLNet grant. The question is: who else would be interested in hosting these fediverser-enabled instances?
Glad you agree, and hope to see your name on the sponsors list and/or the communick signups. ;)
I am not sure I'd be using any mass communication platform that is primarily developed and/or funded by any government.
But anyway, I really don't like to use hypotheticals as an excuse to not take action. Yes, it would be better if there was more public support for open source. But it doesn't. Should we just shrug our shoulders and do nothing on our own? Why give away our agency?
That is absolutely not the case. I have posted many links to lemmy there. The only thing I still do on Reddit is discussion related to Lemmy and fediverser, there is nothing being blocked and I afaict am not being blocked.
I was thinking about the idea of adding "community ambassadors" to https://fediverser.network. The plan would be for people already on fediverse to tell which subreddits they miss the most, and then help them promote the Lemmy alternative by, e.g, listing which reddit users are the most active and send a customizable message showing them how to migrate. I haven't done it yet because I'd like to have other instances besides alien.top to share the influx of potential users.
Regarding "how to fund it". This is an open source project, so you can sponsor me via github, but the best way you can help is by signing up to my "proper" hosting service.
Stripe. Currently the billing works in "pre-paid" model: you make a deposit and your subscription and there will be scheduled deductions, and the contract gets inactive in case the balance goes negative.
I also want to make possible to accept crypto, but realistically I am yet to see any customer that is willing to pay $3-4 on ethereum fees to send me 10DAI

Would you like to bring this to https://nfl.community? I was thinking of having separate communities for highlights and memes as well.
