Oh yeah, not a competition really, just post anything and on any Fediverse platform. We need to dog food the Fediverse. Let's stop taking the easy way. Sure, find an answer if you like, but come back here tondhare with all of us. We need to build our own library of Alexandria.
Saying knowledge is probably a poor phrase. Build community, building information, sharing likes and fears, sharing anything (within reason obvisouly), but SHARE. One of the reasons those places we consider toxic grow, is because that on standard channels that shit didn't exist. Our stuff does, but it's basically locked away in a matter of speaking. We have to rebuild it. And we do that by sharing and talking and listening and empathizing and trying new things and supporting each other.
I'm definitely not saying Lemmy is the perfect place for this at all. I'm saying the Fediverse is. Post your questions and answers and thoughts and passions and comments and jokes and ideas to ANY platform on the Fediverse. Your ideal platform doesn't exist? Talk about THAT instead or of you can BUILD IT. we're at a cross roads. The old tech is crumbling and we need to build a new better community. It won't happen over night, but it also won't happen it we depend on the old ways. Christine Weber, cocreator of Activity Pub made a comment recently that revolutions are run by those that show up. I'm here, let's start a revolution. :-). All it takes is us just talking, guiding, learning, putting our egos aside putting our worries and fears aside and rebuilding a new community.
Exactly this. We need to start investing in the Fediverse and stop depending on Reddit or any of the big techs. WE all built their content. We can do it again FREELY.
I'll never downplay a library. They're wonderful. But I'm talking more about how we make the Fediverse more and more valuable. Yes go to the library and then share what you find on the Fediverse.
Absolutely! Or start having conversations in a current community and if enough are interested build a new community. I've been adding content to my little communities and even though they're not very active I just keep posting. The founders of Reddit said they had multiple accounts and were acting like it was social until it took off. I'm not saying we got to that length, because I find that creepy, but we need that tenacity.
Looks like tossing a regular *.txt file into Proton Drive allows you to open it via Proton Docs which then creates a Proton Docs file. So I wonder if I can export Standard Notes and just upload it and it opens in Proton Docs? I'll give it a try tomorrow and let folks know! :-)
I do like Linkstack. I just thought it was abandoned. Mas pointed out that I'm VERY wrong there. It's only been 5 months. I use it on two other sites.
You're right actually. I swear I looked at something the other day for Linkstack and it was like 2023 ... I must be VERY confused there or I looked at something completely wrong. I wasn't meaning to exaggerate, I was mistaken. You are correct, 5 months. Definitely not dead.
I was thinking of a catching tag line instead of "just google it" I'm an uber nerd and would say "don't search it! FEDIVERSE IT!" :-D
You can't stop people changing their mind about deleting stuff. That can and should happen for any number of reasons, both good and bad. There are servers that would still have the information, but it feels like there's less incentive to fully delete an account on the Fediverse as you can literally pick up the same conversation with a new account. Maybe I just don't do enough social media use and miss the point. I deleted my stuff from Reddit, because I don't want to help Reddit and it should be my private data. Fediverse we are all public and there is no tracking anyway. So whoever you are here, you're it here, no where else, even with the same name.
Love it. As long as we're active IMO. Random people saying there's no content, let's give them that content. Let's be here enjoying ourselves, talking, sharing, and they'll come. But we have to be tenacious. Support each other as well. Less thumbs up and more actual comments. COMMUNICATING is what the internet is for. Sure thumbs up, but make a quick comment on a post.
