Well depends if we’re talking for instance admins, developers or users/mods. Would probably need different models.

Sub.club wasn’t successful in offering a content monetization model on the fediverse

Don’t compare him to Pyotr I Alekseyevich

Vance is there on Thiel’s behalf. That is probably literally the only reason why he was picked as VP. They dont need him to work or to actually do anything.

Your interests are not identical with interests of other people.

Which is a problem

You are NOT supposed to downvote things that “aren’t really interesting”, you are actively ruining other people’s user experience on here by doing that as downvoted posts get less visibility.

And others dont fall into that classification, additionally it has been shown that the list’s author does not bother to actually check what is true about “scraping” accusations and just includes whatever accusation gets raised

But it has absolutely nothing to do with how it is displayed in Friendica.

Well yes, the whole concept of the fediverse is that of social media as a public service. All activitypub data is public.

As someone who watched the super bowl and actively looked at posts in the fediverse on my second screen, I think that @[email protected] missed out on posts because he looked under the “superbowl” hashtag which had been taken over by people posting owls. Quite a few posts about the game and the halftimeshow happened under inconsistent hashtags like #nfl, #sblix, #superbowllix, #halftimeshow, #superbowl2025, #superbowlhalftime, #kcvsphi, etc. Some people used no hashtags at all and I found their posts by fulltext-searching for terms like “Mahomes”. Mainly seemed to me like people werent in agreement with each other on which hashtag to use for their posts.

Well ot kinda was true for the time of the big reddit exodus, there were very active and massively upvoted threads about one instance defederating from another, instances debating on whether they should defederate, beehive publicly wondering whether to ditch lemmy etc

This 100%. And there are other former-reddit-3rd party apps as well afaik

Which in turn is probably the reason why the devs dont focus on Web ui

Lemm.ee tries to be as middle-ground as possible and defederates from no “controversial” instances

Not true IMO, Lemmy is way more after interoperability than for example Mastodon

Are Lemmy devs aware that this would be a possible way of something to support?

That is not the point, the point is that you can. You can curate your feed yourself instead of relying solely on an algorithm or a curation team

if someone would do it:

Cuba. Or Iran. Or a Palestinian faction.

Why:

• Trump’s government openly hates Cuba and has reversed Obama/Biden-era openness to Cuba.

• Trump had Iran’s most important foreign military leader assassinated, he is close with Iran’s regional rivals and supports Iran’s biggest enemy Israel.

• Why a palestinian faction would try to do is doesn’t need to be explained, I guess.

I think Blaze’s point still is relevant: if you are posting a lot on communities that large instances dont even know about, then your efforts will be harder. Ideally one could change something about that, for example use a user account on such a big instance to pull in those communities into federation.

People could start saying the names out loud of those government workers who have refused illegal (or grey area) orders from the White House, Musk’s “DOGE” or similar and have been fired within the last week. Those people actually stood up ‐ even if it didnt do anything in the long run, it showed opposition to these clowns.
