Where do you see that?

• The account type is a ‘Person’ account according to the federated JSON-LD. Bots use a different type.
• I don’t see your instance claiming it’s a bot on her profile.

So I’m a bit confused where this screenshot is from.

If it’s just some random app, I don’t see how it has the information to conclude this is a bot. It’s a brand new account, no other content on it, and the app doesn’t have information on ip and other stuff like that. There’s nothing to go on.

Wouldn’t Trump just mistake the red hats as translated MAGA hats and so take it as public support of the invasion? Not like he can understand the language, or read the fine print on the side. He just sees you guys using the same hat his base does.

Isn’t lemm.ee dead? I remember reading it died, and trying the URL now, I just get sent to join-lemmy.

Edit: Also, lemmy.one has a sticky saying it’s shutting down, though it seems it’s still up 8 months later. Not sure what to make of that, but it’s probably not the best idea to send people their way.

I’m having a great time here on kbin.earth.

I think any Mbin (kbin’s new name btw, though some instances are still named after kbin) instance is going to be in the category of smaller than lemmy.world, seeing as there’s only 1.4k active Mbin users total.

kbin.earth is the instance of the dev of the Interstellar app.

Piefed has only 2k too and it has 6 apps on this list.

Mbin is at 1.4k according to fedidb.

Shame there’s still only one for Mbin after all this time.

People aren’t looking for skill here, this isn’t an art community. Don’t let your lack of skills stop you from trying. Even a stick figure is good enough.

I’m the same as you, haven’t really improved at drawing since I was a little kid. But this is Lemmy, not Reddit. People here aren’t looking for perfection, your drawing skills are more than enough for this thread.

It’s of course fine to not want to draw something, but don’t hold back just because you think your skills aren’t good enough.

My red line is when the user experience becomes worse for me on Windows than on Linux. Not saying that Linux is bad, it’s definitely not, but it seems to use a completely different paradigm from Windows which is much less aligned with what I want out of an OS than Windows is. So fundamentally my user experience on Windows is better, the enshittification is just adding trade offs until they eventually outweight having to go with a paradigm I don’t agree with. And that point hasn’t been reached yet. Though we’re definitely getting close.

I wish there was an actual alternative that was just an opensource Windows without enshittification. I’d switch to that immediately if it existed. But with Linux, Windows will have to do some more enshittifying to get me there.

Thank you for mentioning that, wasn’t aware it was doing that. Disabled it now.

I’m terrible at drawing, so I in fact cannot.

But I’ll take this as an opportunity to experiment.

the nordic countries are single-branch

According to this official government page Norway at least does have separation of powers into multiple branches. I haven’t looked into the other nordic countries, but it’s hard to believe that they don’t at least separate out the judiciary (courts) from the rest.

Power in Norway is divided into three branches:

• the Storting – the legislative branch
• the Government – the executive branch
• the courts – the judicial branch

Your list doesn’t look complete in regards to Mbin. For example, tags seem to have RSS feeds.

AFAIK, content-centric networks are only lemmy and piefed as of today, modeled after Reddit.

There’s also Mbin, which I’m using. And NodeBB and Discourse if we go beyond Reddit-inspired and include forums.

Funkwhale is a fediverse music platform.

I tried playing some MyHordes a while ago, the community-owned successor to Motion Twin’s old Die2Nite (english name) collaborative zombie survival browser game. A bunch of players try to survive as many days as possible through a zombie apocalypse, searching the wasteland for supplies, and building up their defenses, while taking care of their needs.

I loved the game back when I would play it constantly, and I still love it today, but I just don’t have the time anymore. The AP system might seem like it makes the game quick, but the collaborative aspect means you have to talk to your fellow survivors, strategize, coordinate, communicate… for which I’m just not free enough.

I don’t think I can see myself enjoy a singleplayer or competitve game like this. With the AP mechanic I mean. I’ve tried a few other games back in the day which used it, but it’s always felt like too much of a limitation. An obstacle to actually having fun with the game. Die2Nite was the only exception, because it kept you busy otherwise throughout the day and turned the AP into an actual dynamic resource mechanic you had to strategize with, not just a limiter.

This is a tough one to answer. I think Kyousougiga, Madoka Magica, and Wixoss (the first two seasons) are definitely there. In no particular order. But I’m not sure about the other two. I currently have 33 favorites on my Anilist, and while certainly not all of them are equal, I can’t single out two more that stand out from all the others. Fate/Zero, Parasyte, Sakura Trick, Kill la Kill, Asobi Asobase, Dorohedoro, Flip Flappers, Die Neue These, Healer Girl, Dekiru Neko, Delico’s Nursery, To Be Hero X, and City all qualify equally imo.

I do think that some direct democracy would be good, but there’s a reason why Switzerland still has representatives too.

Having to vote on every single moderation action would be a pain to deal with. Not just in terms of fatigueing users and causing only few to actually participate, but also because it’ll slow down the process and empower bad actors to cause more damage.

What should be a thing imo is what Switzerland has: the ability for regular users to propose new rules and then vote on approving them, and the ability to undo any moderation action through a democratic vote. Both of those being binding.

Also of course the ability to vote a mod out if they’re abusing their power. That’s something we’re lacking IRL too.

Edit: On your other point:

It gets a bit tricky with technology. Ideally we could do things like democratically decide to have a voice chat (if that’s what people want) and somehow 3 months later the platform has a voice chat… But it’s not that easy, software development doesn’t work this way.

I think one thing that’s possible is to copy the GOG model. Have a wishlist of features that people can add to and vote on. The highest voted features you prioritize in development.

I think posting to a group (like a lemmy community) is a good idea because they act like relays. On Mastodon, your posts are only sent to your followers and people you mention. If you’re not followed by anyone and don’t mention anyone, your post won’t be federated anywhere. Lemmy communities however will share your post with all their followers, allowing it to reach a larger audience. So unless you already have a huge audience, I think microblogging users that want to be heard can benefit greatly from interacting with groups.

To make microblog posts more appealing to Lemmy users, do consider separating out a plaintext line at the start to act as a title. Lemmy iirc takes the first paragraph of the body as the title if there’s no actual title given, and that can look awkward when that first paragraph is your entire post. This title pragraph shouldn’t include formatting or mentions or hashtags.
