I know I can.

But my point is that a lot of users will not stay here if they need to jump through different identical-communities across several instances or other websites to build their content-flow.

Decenteralized systems in all it’s glory, but I think at some point we will need to address or come up with a solution on how we market niche communities.

In reddit it was so simple to find your communities. Let’s say you grew interest in Balisongs, then you just type r/balisong and there you are. This helps discovery immensly.

Doing this on a lemmy instance will only get you to that instance community. Which means you might have like 10 of these already niche communities spread out around different instances.

Personally I’d think a system where an instance can promote or assign another instance community as the “main” one, with some type of backup feature, would help Lemmy grow.

But I also think that opinion is controversial considering the nature of a decentralized system.

To be fair, if he said what he wrote here in private, it’d still be extremely bad leadership.

Obviously he should correct them and point out why, but maybe not trash on them entierly.

On a platform like Spotify I don’t really see the issue here.

Have you ever looked through the other 85% of the content? Excluding finding some obscure hits, most of it is trash.

Unless we want to argue that any art in our current economical system should be of equal value no matter what.

The first thing I do when I am greeted by a customer-service bot is spam it with “I want to talk to a human”, “Forward me to an assistant” and “Let me talk to your master”.

It works in like 2/3 cases.

It’s like having a car with 3 punctures and 1 wheel-lock.

Worth noting I am partly speaking from my own assessment as well. I want us to join NATO but I don’t find it to be an affair that is as urgent anymore and I’d preferably have it done without any greater effects on our justice system or other parts that Erdogan was unhappy about.

However, it’s worth noting that there are still a reasonable amount of swedes who are completely against NATO.

I think most people who have switched sides, who were originally for/split, would today argue that it’s unlikely that Russia would stage another war in the coming years. Looking at how poorly they are performing in Ukraine.

So getting into NATO with the possibility that Erdogan’s demands will have an actual effect on the Swedish laws has not been deemed worth it right now.

I also doubt anybody reasonable would consider some of his demands to be achievable, Turkey in EU today?
