Thanks Quill. And I don't think it's selfish to want to live in a world where people help each other.

I'm an hour late to this party, but adding in that I just pushed out the latest update to Pylova (v0.4.0). Even more goodies incoming from this.

Thanks Quill!

i am very touched. one minor adjustment, eutopianism is the building of the best possible world from your current world, as opposed to utopianism that imagines worlds that are ideal, but potentially unachievable.

Oh that's super cool. I am hoping to get something similar started here, but I have a feeling my yard is about to get ripped up as they add new utilities over the next couple of months, so I'm waiting for that before any roadside installations lol.

And to add one thing quill taught me recently, it was a “eutopic mindset”, which is (essentially) an outlook focused on building the ideal world. Its how I see things and quill gave me the words for that.

We can all work towards building our ideal world.

Reminds me of a David Graeber quote:

"The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently"

Thanks for reading!

If I can add onto the Library Economics - these can quickly go from one to another.

Short example, I started helping kids with their bikes at practice / games for my kids, which led to people starting to just pass around the decent bikes rather than toss and replace, which then led to an older member of the community offering up some space for a little library, which became a little library and a little pantry, and then inspired 3 more little libraries! No more little pantries just yet though, working on that.

The point is you don't have to start everything at once. Do the thing you know, that you will put your effort into succeeding, and it will go from there. Even if it seems small, it can snowball into more. Even if you just plant the idea and others do the thing they will put the effort into, its worth it.

Its all worth it.

More competition is always better. An upgrade over Lemmy then Piefed.

Nice fediverse platform you got there!

yo this is awesome thank you to all who are working on this

(It was the first thing that came to mind)

Planning to set it as the theme once I'm sitting at my own desk again!

You both make quick work for sure. I can't believe the dev speed being sustained atm

It means that Mia is awesome and somehow, against all odds, I didn't fuck up the deployment this time.

I can see cake and gif! is this good or bad?

Ah, gotcha. Thank you for your efforts in improving fediverse functionality!

Unfortunately Lemmy doesn't support multi-image posts. I have some ideas for work-arounds in the future to support users on other software.

Also the cake is a pavlova.

Thank you

Was this supposed to be a multi image post? I only see the one photo of the cake. (Meringue?)

Pylova, nice

I seem to just be getting bits of this story without the full context. And that’s fine, I don’t really want a long read.

But I will say that I have been boycotting LW since day 1. Not because of a specific bad actor, but simply because it’s the most antithetical instance to fedi principles:

• centralised because it has grown to a disproportionate extreme. I already minimise participation on any node that has more than 2 standard deviations above the average user count.
• centralised on Cloudflare. It’s a shitty boot licker of an exclusive tech giant gate keeper. It’s an oppressive walled-garden.

There is no need to do any digging on conduct beyond that. LW is on par with Facebook as far as I’m concerned simply for those 2 reasons.

I don't really use this account anymore because of .world. It's the nazi-bar problem, but with genocidists instead. If Nexus defederates, I'd start using this account again, because I like PieFed better (sorry lemmy devs!)

But as long as any instances federates with .world, I'm out.

Hoist the colors high

way ahead of you, I blocked that shitty instance like a year ago, but it'd be great if more people were willing to fully defederate.
