Great. There seem to be two ways to donate, Patreon and OpenCollective. Is one better than the other for the devs regarding fees? Afaik Patreon claims a small fee, not sure about OpenCollective.

While OP has a point regarding a potential problem, the term ‘fundamentally broken’ is an absolute overstatement. At most, it could be stated that Lemmy/kbin might not be feature complete yet. And i expect, given the crowd sourced nature of it, that it will dynamically evolve into our users combined needs. No need to abandon it!

Now about the actual point: as others have mentioned, the way Lemmy handles multiple subs on same topic on different instances is good. The communities are easily differentiable via the instance prefix, and if i want both, i can simple subscribe to both, and will see the posts from both in my feed.

I don’t like the tag idea, because such global consensus about what e.g. a horse is might work for a horse, but not for other terms like ‘politics’, which would depend on the jnstance. If i see a politics sub on an italian instance, i expect it to be mostly about italian politics and related world politics, which is good.

Looks very interesting. Apparently it uses its own file format. This is a little bit of a problem, because it forces you to rely on this software to access your notes, even if an export to Markdown is possible. But often times these exports of large note databases are not tidy, they may be missing features/information that didn’t export well.

So i personally would only ever use a note taking app that is based on text files. This of course is harder to manage, but can be done, like VimWiki or Obsidian have shown.

Maybe if it could be extended for text file as basic storage, it could get a broader user base.

This could be a very important point for why it isn’t more used. For example, i only use markdown files, which allows me to manage them in git, edit and navigate via VimWiki, and visualize in Obsidian.

Das ganze Vorhaben ist völlig ungeeignet um das Problem zu lösen. Mal angenommen mit Verschlüsselungsdiensten ist ein e2e encrypted instant messenger wie Matrix, Signal o.ä. gemeint. Wer nun trotzdem vermeiden möchte das jemand mitliest, kann einfach die Nachricht z. B. mit GPG zusätzlich verschlüsseln und eben die kodierte Nachricht via instant messenger trotzdem sehr komfortabel verschicken. Klar, das ist etwas mehr Aufwand, aber nun wirklich keine Hürde für Kriminelle die hier geschaffen wird.

Was aber sehr groß ist, ist die Zumutung für die Allgemeinheit, da eben neben der Regierung auch Geheimdienste und Kriminelle mitlesen können.

Ich hoffe sehr, dass es nicht zu einem derartigen Gesetz kommt.

This feels great. The posts right now seem a lot more genuine compared to reddit lately. Keep it up!
