Emerging fiction writer/poet of mixed heritage, Haudenosaunee (Cayuga) and Hungarian, living in Ontario, Canada. I Love #writing, #art, #tech, and how they intersect.
This place has roughly 3,000 people and was intended to be an entire replacement for DaystromInstitute and StarTrek as they were going dark indefinitely. Well, within 4 days the moderators have walked back those statements and opened both subreddits up. I see no incentive for people to come to this website now and while a few...
Reddit is dying. Its goals as a growth-oriented corporation are inherently contrary to its original nature as a community center. I have to give them props for dragging it out as long as they have (and will). All the factors that made Reddit possible and desirable still exist; in fact, the ActivityPub federation protocol enables an even more powerful form of collaboration that transcends a lot of the negative aspects of Reddit's design.
Give it time. Make content! Tell people about this wonderful new generation of media. Consider it an opportunity to engage with the glory days of a new form of internet media. Which it is.
I have not seen it yet, though I have no doubt that it exists.
I believe that in real life as in the fediverse, hate speech and bigotry of all kinds needs to be very firmly shot down. Immediately downvote and block that shit. It has no place here, or anywhere.
That being said, debating or even engaging with these pricks is worse than pointless because you’ll never change their minds and will only give them a platform.
Trying out art on my actual walls. I know I can kind of do that right now with ARKit, but it's not great; it's the kind of thing that Vision will handle beautifully. Also bringing home furniture. I'm looking for a new dining table, and the idea that I have to just drop two grand on this thing when I've only ever really imagined it in the space is kind of nuts. Sure, I can tape it out on the ground to see how big it is, check it fits, but that's still not going to help me know how it feels in the room.
I think it also would have been great recently when I got about fifty swatches of material in the post for blinds. While I think seeing the real thing is still going to be necessary, seeing the full blinds in Vision would have helped immensely.
Did this site live and die in 4 days?

Have encountered racism, hate speech or homophobia on the fediverse yet?
If so, do you consistently report it and get the feeling that it gets dealt with? Of course there are instances dedicated solely to being human trash
Question Of The Week: What's an app you'd like to try in visionOS?
Can be an app that exists on other platforms or a new idea, as long as you don't mind sharing....
