I like copyleft and have convinced about 7 projects to convert to copyleft. but in this case its such a small project i don’t really see anyone turning it into some proprietary project and the project losing a lot of contributions because of it. Also even the FSF says that permissive licenses might be better when you implementing standards (And i think you could argue this project is at least partially a implementation of posix).
Definitely OK to promote as long as it is done in a way that is considerate (and that is your case). i suggest also cross posting to more active open source communities like [email protected]
They report a score which is not very correlated with the number of tests passed (there was a big increase in the number of tests that pass in 2023 but the score barely rose). I could not figure out how to show the score for other browsers on wpt.fyi.
Lemmy has a similar number of active users and makes about 3K . That money would be good for the ecosystem and could help fund upstream projects (I am sure wine could use the money for example). But they will have to use fundraising methods similar to lemmy to reach that number (popup, good message etc)
The donate page is kinda a mess IMO to be honest. There should be one organisation to donate to otherwise this creates overchoice.
Isn’t basically any software like mastodon where you change the maximum length of posts to be long enough a good alternative? say 1 million words per post.
For group discussions there is piefed/lemmy. And mobilizon for events. for reviews there is neodb.
When i last tried friendica. it was missing the feature which i thought was really good on facebook. seeing what people i appreciate are into by seeing stuff like movies and or even things like meditation or stoicism on their profile page. and maybe reviews of businesses
I would go with the short explanation of fediverse platform built for customization and extension as a one sentence explanation.
besides you could just try it.
Looks like a mistake. feel free to open a issue if you want to: https://github.com/vegastrike/vegastrike.github.io
Sure people might downvote here but engineers care about facts. have you tried testing this in real world setting? working with moderators? what feedback did you get?
Right now this is experimental. you can’t just use AI and automatically expect it to always do a better job then the established methods.
tildes.net is pretty good. i augment my use of lemmy and reddit with it.
And there are a ton of them listed here if you want to spend more time doing market research (and share your conclusions if you find anything interesting).
Have you looked at the state of how open source smartphone os projects are funded? Seems like not enough people think it is currently important. i saw no bump in funding since the announcement. I would say the best bet is trying to help one of these projects with fundraising and trying to educate or convince enough people it is worth investing in. and obviously donate if you can. Although to be honest even i don’t do that (i think i invest enough in FOSS).
Once i bought a phone i tried to pick one that is friendly for FOSS projects and went with a pixel (which grapheneos recommended). so voting or signaling with your wallet is an option.
I also think something like codeberg. where anyone can be a member if he pays fees that help fund the organisation and democratically elect a board that decides what to fund could be helpful. codeberg has a pretty good organic growth so that is encouraging but i don’t know if there is enough interest in that.
It actually reports about 27K monthly active users and is one of the more popular platforms on the fediverse.
lemmy indicates clearly liberapay is preferred . and it does seem to have an effect because patreon donations went down at some point while liberapay donations went up.
With that said liberapay fees are cited as being around 3.1% and maybe higher. some digital currencies are almost free (nano, ripple) and despite the hate you see i don’t see a rational reason not to offer them as an option.
Any github or codeberg people can star?
Also if so many people want it. starting to fund raise money might be good. paralives is already making good money and because it is closed source there is a incentive to make modding harder (so they could sell improvements). Plus this sounds really hard and labor intensive. being able to work on it full time could help you stay motivated. even seeing people giving money might help you feel the work is really appreciated and its not just cheap words.
For user tagging. see this . its implemented on the server side but not on the UI side. give it a thumbs up maybe it will help the developers prioritize it.
Its like restaurants . you could go and some menu items you like and some you won’t like. asking for a recommendation from the waiter is a pretty good bet.
A quick search in their github didn’t show anyone requesting this. maybe just open an issue?
also the wayback machine works with the fediverse observer. so you can look here
I am not noticing anything on fiverse.observer. so i guess some glitch on fedidb?
Maybe a survey can disprove my opinion. but i would argue the option of having ads plus paying for the ability to remove ads is something most users would accept (even if there is a vocal minority). especially if you explain that researching and developing some forms of content (documentaries, video courses, investigative journalism) can take dozen of hours and is not feasible to do without getting paid when aiming for the highest quality.
That could be better then just restricting videos (mitra could also be a open source alternative to patreon).
Why do you ask?
grok came up with this:
