My bad, took the wrong English word. It should be verbose not verbal. I found the approach attractive, to address the issue of people camouflaging hostility as rational discussion, when they are actually following antagonistic believe systems. As from the first "philosophy" post linked from their sidebar:
What is Beehaw?
Beehaw is a Community
A few thoughts on Beehaw’s design
At the time of this writing, though, i have already changed to a different server, because i got it that the place is going to attract a US-of-A style ryrannic PC mob which will exert its own hostility, in their need for a safe space, believing a demand for "niceness" masking -- whatever that means will not be up to discussion -- will do. An echochamber that i will not be part of. The most fun moments on Reddit are often not so very "nice" but rather dirty and snarky. :-)
Probably possible but not implemented. That's more or less just a UI thing.
Thank you for posting this, as you seem to have more knowledge of the underlying protocols than i have. Had some visions of server takedowns and meltdowns. I have little idea how the protocol works but i'd imagine that account migration/replication would not be such a big deal to implement, and communities are already being replicated, no? As a work-around.
May i ask what your reasons for not signing up at beehaw were? I'm still making up my mind. The main reason i went for it (besides one of the owners being very verbal about their philosophy), was that it has some size, which gave me trust that it would not suddenly disappear together with all their user accounts and content. Account migration sadly is missing which is a curious omittance. PM welcome if you so wish.
Ooh ... excuse my slight neurodiversity. I guess i'm just not a part anymore of a sickening society. Went to other places on that other platform the short periods i spent there.
Appreciate you taking your time to be so verbose. :-)
Yep i read the first part. That was part in my decision making for sighing up on this server. Now i'm getting around to reading the second part. Thanks for explaining your take on what you call "rationalism" because else that would have left me questioning. Am i right in taking the term "centrist" as political? Would have to educate myself on that.
What is your definition of being "nice", actually? This question is hard to answer, i know. What i mean is, demanding from someone who is upset and therefore gets emotional, to switch to "non-violent speech", is a form of tyranny. My stance on voices that get emotional because of dissatisfaction is that they are in need to get heared more than those who are satisfied anyway. Conflicts are actually a valuable part in my work, as they are so revealing about people, and they provide a lot of energy that can get transformed for the better. People might be in a state where it's just impossible for them to be "nice", and demanding it from them would result in them getting yet more aggressive. In that sense, a demand for being "nice" is a demand for masking dissatisfaction, thus becoming a hindrance to resolution.
I can very well be nice and slap someone in the face with a sarcastic irony, without people even realising it. Just don't want my account to be trapped in a space that tends to consequently give PC tyrants an upper hand. I'm not from USA btw so those typical masking standards are not so much part of my culture. I'm all for being civilised and i think that i am :-) but i'm also understanding of people getting angry because i might understand some of the psychology behind it -- and some people might be nice and all but they are still fundamentally being idiots.
I imagine https://beehaw.org/c/support is a good place, but don’t quote me on that
Seems to be a place at least for general discussion on this topic. Such questions have already been asked there.
Yep the software license would not be so relevant, that's right.
I believe the word "wiki" pre-dates wikipedia --> https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki
The Wikipedia software is used by many institutions. When i still worked in uni, we tried it for our group internal documenting. In the end went for a less complex wiki software, though. :-)
One of my concerns is about a real de-centralised system not being implemented, as i learned. Migration of users and communities is not possible. Therefoe partial meltdowns are still possible.
Community search: yes i know and used it. It's just not useful if one doesn't exactly know what keyword to search for. An index by general topc would be nice to have. I was thinking about making a sorting thread but really, a subforum would not be the right place for it.
Migration of data ... well too much OT discussion coming to my mind.
Wow thanks for the reply. Yes i knew i can omit it but wanted to mention both explicitly. That was one thing i never knew on Reddit, if users get notified when i "@" mention them or if stuff got cross-posted when people mentioned the r/sub. I feel a bit idiotic now, although i'm technically knowledgeable. Just not scial media adapted.
@JakeSparkleChicken@midwest.social @russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net Thank you, this can also be info for others. I'm afraid this is going to be community fragmentation anarchy. It's already not easy to find subs without a categorised index ... and then, hopefully there will be ways to move users/subs between servers. But let's see how this matures.
... damn how do i make this link and notify more than one user ...
Neurodivergence spaces like r/Aspergers, r/AutisticWithADHD, and r/autism
definitled!
add r/HSP
So be this my first comment.
Source looks very much like www before 2.0 -- more or less plain HTML, no script garbage making load a page in multiple requests, no ads no trackers.
I switched my main account over to /u/DivergentHarmonics@sopuli.xyz. You will be better able to reach me there.
