Snap packages are better sandboxed (on Ubuntu) than Flatpak or any other system packages.

Source?

System packages already use apparmor, i don't see a reason they could not be as sandboxed as snap, and i am not aware of a reason that flatpak has a worst sandbox.

I don't know how many people care about it, but i like github "sort by thumbs up" functionality (see example) . it's a simple indicator of what is more or less valued by the community.

it's not that transparent , for example if i am considering funding signal , i can look at the 990 form , see the top salaries, the amount spent on salaries, the number of employees and calculate the average salary. I don't mind it if the shareholders make a 10-20 percent return but i don't want to to be a 90 percent return (which basically no public company has, from what i have seen in tech companies it is somewhere around 10-30 percent).

There liberapay (patreon alternative) and mitra (patreon paywall alternative). there is also a peertube plugin.

Other then that having something that can show ads on videos but with an option to disable ads with pay (something like youtube premium), could be useful,

its a platform for funding, its got other features besides bounties (like a paywall for content like patreon), its for open source developers but might fit other creators.

Whats interesting is that both income , profits and the stock have been growing well for years, maybe they are just monetizing more aggressively because they can't compete on product quality (unlike other markets that are still evolving, AI and Cloud). not a ton of stuff to improve in operation systems it seems.

One way to limit exposure to negative news is a keyword filter, which I implemented 6 months ago, early on in the project: https://piefed.social/post/7576

avoidance is generally considered harmful for mental health, what would be better is giving users the ability to curate their information diet, news sources should be trustworthy , display rational reasoning which might help users learn by observation (aka observational learning) , this will be helpful for mental health and mental fitness because rational thinking is associated with mental health.

multireddits could help with that because instead of getting just news about ukraine/israel/sudan/iran from a general community, you could get it from communities specific to those conflicts , the people subscribing to these communities are probably more motivated to discuss it so they will generate more rational thinking (which is more effortful so it requires more motivation).

Is it the user-created part? The subscribing part?

Yeah basically those parts, i guess , for example if i want a multireddit i want "news" without the politics and certain communities (e.g. business and "the police problem" i don't want), i guess that's a typical use case for average Joe, he wants news but not too much news. i think there is research showing too much news is bad for mental health and social media might cause radicalization (see a scientific systematic review of the subject)

multireddits is the most requested issue on lemmy , any chance it will be implemented for piefed soon? . the ability to subscribe to posts and incrementally read them is really great so i hoping your project might be better at prioritizing and using feedback effectively. It could really attract more developers/donors/content creators which is good.
