I would like communities to be a better place for discussion.

Both here and on reddit communities/subreddits, especially big ones, is a difficult place to hold a discussion on the topic of that community. Take for example technology, I could enjoy to discuss anything from SR-IOV to maglev trains. But the technology subs are filled with business news of companies run by eccentric...

themobyone,

To avoid making my post a 1000 word essay, I’ve omitted some detail to get my point across.

themobyone,

Thank you, it’s nice knowing I’m not the only one.

themobyone,

Yes, link aggregation is one of the main feature of reddit. And I guess it’s a main feature here as well. But another feature on both sites is also the text-post that can be used to promote discussion among users. But they are so few and far between they drown in all the post with links to new-site of less than good quality.

Of course there are webforums, but the one that are still active are usually single topic webforums. Like for example windows 10 forums, or a rc-helicopter/remote-drone forum. This place is a much better place to discuss a wide range of topics inside the correct community, anything from gardening, to politics, to power electronics. That’s why I would enjoy a common place in the fediverse to meet people :)

themobyone,

I haven’t tried NixOS yet, but many things about it appeals to me. I could put it on my old laptop I guess.

m.2 nvme ssd on pcie expansion card.

Does anyone have any experience how well m.2 pcie expansion card work? With the current prices of nvme it’s not that expensive get 4tb m.2 drives. Outright speed isn’t the most important, so it not big deal if some pcie lanes have to be shared. My ‘worry’ is that when I upgrade my computer it might not recognize the m.2...

Request for advice: talk me out of upgrading my PC

Hi, I’ve got a fairly modest computer by today’s standard and I’m looking to upgrade the GPU and perhaps also the CPU. Mostly I use it for playing games and your other typical PC tasks, not much video editing and stuff of that sort. Mostly MMOs, sandbox games, RPGs, CRPGs and the occasional sim or 4X....

themobyone,

You will get better framerate with a newer GPU, but if you already have playable FPS then you can wait with the upgrade. I don’t see any point getting a better CPU for your motherboard unless you have many tasks you know are CPU limited for you. For games I’m sure there will be little difference. And getting a new cpu/motherboard/ram is basically building a new computer. It’s better to wait a few more years.

I don't think we should strive to have as big a userbase as reddit.

Many of us have seen it happening in the last 4-5 years. reddit subs, and reddit in general has become a bit s***. Of course there are still good subs, especially the truly niche ones can often have a small helpful crowd. But with 100s of thousands of users, some sub drown in hate and negativity....

themobyone,

In cities or close by cities this is not a problem. I'm from norway, the country is big, but with few people. So the train or bus doesn't go where I need to go. Last week I was going to a place 25km away from my home. I was thinking of taking the bug but it would take 1h14m. with my car it is a little under 30minutes.

Then there taking stuff home. A few weeks ago I needed some planting soil for my garden. I only needed 3 bags with 40L of dirt. But imaging taking that on the train or the bus. People living a apartments in cities don't have this problem. But other people leed other lives.

themobyone,

I think it's natural that reddit will be discussed a lot during the next few weeks. We might see a new spike around june 30th when the API get restricted (cost money). From then on it will slowly die down, I hope. As a topic it might never die completely. People still talk about digg, and true old timers bring up BBS's and such. Many of us, me included are reddit refuges, I think it's natural to help vent some frustration by discussing it with peers on this instance.

themobyone,

Shame this happened while 'most' of us Europeans were asleep.

Fragmentation around the Fediverse.

I'm a fairly new users, but I feel that navigating around the fediverse is a bit cumbersome, maybe the wrong word for it. But there is a lack of overview in a way. I enjoy being on this server, but I also like to follow other communities. Lots of different topics, everything from cars to Linux to architecture....

themobyone,

Yes, I don't wont it exactly like reddit. We are over 12k people here on this server so there are plenty of people so talk to to have a general discussion. The small issue is the more niche a hobbie/community is there more of a problem it. Instead of 100 Linux users on one server there is 10 people on 10 servers (just imaginary numbers to get my point across).

The point is to connect with people with similar interests. If one "sub" does go bad, we can just make a new one on a different instance.

I do agree that no one wants power-hungry mods ruining a sub.

themobyone,

Yes this is true. I guess there's also nothing in the way to subscribe to all 10. Except for a bloated personal subscription list.

themobyone,

Yeah, it's good to have a discussion. I don't want to say it's a big problem. I only wish for it to be a little better.

themobyone,

I'm Norwegian and I love the fact it doesn't get properly dark, it can be so beautiful outside during the constant twilight. Also the fact the sun is up until 22:41 (as of 16.06.2023, I check the weather pages that list this.) This is one reason I don't want to change the daylight savings. Then we could rather stay on summer time, so we don't have to adjust all the clocks. But that's another discussion. If we were on winter time the sun would go down as early as 21.41 today :(

themobyone,

I'm just sad for the US now. Hope you guys will get better times soon.

themobyone,

I wonder if this is a GDPR violation for us Europeans.

themobyone,

You post is almost a poem. It was nice to read.

If I can offer a different more positive view. You connected with other humans, and shared your experiences and love for your hobbies. Yes it happened on reddit, but it can happen again somewhere else.

I know this is quoted to death but here are some wise words from Dr. Seuss:

  • Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
themobyone,

Yes, I'm having a perspective on this as a journey, it's fun to be along for the ride. Even though it's been around a couple of years things are not set in stone, and of course with the big influx of reddit users(me included there) there still ways to go. I'm still not sure how everything works. Anyways I'm exited to see what the future holds for the fediverse.

themobyone,

I don't think it has any effect beyond showing other people appreciated the post. And I've read somewhere around here on this site, that not having "karma" associated with each account help prevents bot and faming accounts.

themobyone,

No, not really. Mars has a very weak magnetosphere, so you need shielding against radiation. Also there is no atmosphere and any atmosphere we put on mars will quickly (in a geological timescale) get blown away by the charged solar winds because there is no magnetic field. So it's an immense task, and probably a few hundred years out before we have the technology.

themobyone,

I must say I had forgotten about this one. I checked the biggest car buying website in my country and there only 3 for sale. But I’m sure it’s a fun little runabout.
