freemium pls :cry:

although good freemium examples like proton mail for example seem too good to be true with free vpn and all the jazz. always such a shady feeling when using such services

may I use this moment to ask you if this is intended (see spoiler formatted section in the post)

EDIT maybe its the photon frontend, I’ll crosspost there too

well it would be tied to financing this platform in my suggestion, so I dont see the issue if the upvotes are the only metric for post ranking and on the other hand awards being only cosmetic

u can always ublock them away if you personally have spite against the look of some icon. but yea there surely is a wrong way to implement such features… as u mentioned a prime contentder for a service gone shady/shill

awards that cosmetically work like upvotes in a sense. reddit has them, but they link that to nothing or ad free features.

Bound to donations I dont see why this would be a bad idea. Gives a strong sense of community, especially if theres for example special ones bound to each instance

I’d prefer even more parameters. Big corpo wants to dumb it down to only likes or other manipulative/hidden metric displays

made a post about this too

@username(matrix.org)

maybe give incentives like upvote award feature for the respective instance that has been donated to. that way people would be more willing to get something out of it in a more tangible way

thanks this helps alot :P

I need ad-like branding on what Mbin and PieFed are.

Im too lazy to look it up

modern day tobacco corporations

how can you respond to my deleted comment. I instantly deleted it after seeing a comment where I could add the same message under, so the discussion is more bundled

either way

funk’s german post referenced this Imperva Bad Bot Report 2024

EDIT 74% not 80%, doesnt change anything tbh :D

remember 80% of instagram is bots according to a study reported by german media.

so X id even say it could be more giving the vast hatred increase and content change over the last years. so basically they lost 90%

Look my edit I created at the same time

It doesn’t? What’s the telephone icon then on the linked screenshot? Or is it like only 1to1 calls instead of multi user rooms to join like discord/teamspeak u mean?

Does it have voice channels?

EDIT according to documentation Screenshots it does!

its the dot

yeah we need eu to help us get fediverse goin with european servers and more ethical algorithms for such platforms that rely on it

or how else are you navigating pixelfed to find the good stuff… its really frustrating to stare at low quality posts and be somewhat stuck with those… maybe theres other reasons in UX also contributing to this frustration

like a global map with filters by business sector, flight reason, etc

man this would be sick hehe

we need more artists on pixelfed. the insta artists are on the one side extremely exploited by meta but on the other side theres so much that do it for their small artist bag…

idk clout is weird… how would one solve that with no revenue, maybe like personal sponsors based on reach will remain? idk
