Be the change you want to see. You want the right kind of content to magically come to you, how do you think this content exists in the first place

About decentralised storage of fediverse data. in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] rako@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 1 points 6 days ago

Yeah but "decentalised" here is not clear. Do you mean a storage that is not controlled by the instance ?

Centralized where ? Each instance is autonomous and independent

Is it just me, or does anyone else wish there was a federated, decentralized alternative to YouTube Music? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

I'm curious as to what is wrong with funkwhale ? It does have issues but it also seems to fit your usecase

Society isn't fate. It doesn't come out of nothing. Accepting/keeping the status quo is accepting the balance that exists, and it's been going right for a dong time.

It's not just about what you can or can't do, it's about where you're pushing to

You must care about money in a capitalist world, of course; the real question is do you want money to matter all the time or not

A more interesting way is to understand that there is a difference between what is and how it affects us. The point isn't so much to decide whether gravity exists or not but to make sure it doesn't impose any unfair weight (ha) on some members of the society and not others. When we say "it's just exists" we're very close to say "there's nothing we can do about this" and that justifies unfair situations.

Going against bilionaires is going pretty left though

Caring about money is taking a side though

The mastodon api, or the lemmy api, or the xyz api. Eagh platform has its own. Being public doesn't make it standard, hence the "proprietary" qualifier

Flattening the Zapatista Military Pyramid in c/anarchism@slrpnk.net
[–] rako@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 4 points 1 week ago

That's actually what the first Zapatist did, inviting everyone at the table to discuss, hence the saying "mexican army". That's also what the makhnovschchina did. 

Do we need more users ? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] rako@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah if you want to do the same community it's going to be harder, but if you want to make your own community with your own content and views it's different.

Also, the history of the internet contradicts your point, communities have moved servers since the beginning, there never was a unique central point for everything. Lemmy is a bit inferior here because it only allows you to see communities one by one, but piefed can group communities into feeds that you can directly follow. By not placrng focus on a single one piefed can push for much more diversity

Do we need more users ? (europe.pub)
 

Following https://tarte.nuage-libre.fr/c/fediverse/p/194717/we-need-more-users I decided to explore data a little bit more. I'm not the biggest fan of growth-as-as-target so I wanted to see how much the people were participating in the discussion.

The data

I took the data from the API explorer in https://api.fediverse.observer/ with this query:

query {  
  monthlystats {  
    date_checked  
    softwarename  
    total_posts  
    total_users  
    total_comments  
  }  
}

Then parsed the json with this https://jqlang.org/ filter:

jq '.data.monthlystats | map(select(.total_users > 0 and (.softwarename == "lemmy" or .softwarename == "mbin" or .softwarename == "kbin" or .softwarename == "piefed"))) | group_by(.date_checked) | map( {date_checked: .[0].date_checked, total_users: ([.[] | .total_users] | add), total_posts: ([.[] | .total_posts] | add), total_comments: ([.[] | .total_comments] | add)}) | map({date_checked, posts: .total_posts/.total_users, comments: .total_comments/.total_users}) | sort_by(.date_checked) | map([.date_checked, (.posts | tostring), (.comments | tostring)]) | .[] | @csv'

(As you see I filtered for the threadiverse. I also did the same with all software, I'll put the graph for that in comments)

Then did a good old' chart

What to think of it

I don't know. Users' activity is on the rise and I find it nice
