Ah, I see you’re a man of naked as well.

That was not bad at all, keep it up.

That’s great to hear chief. Let’s all do what we can.

I used to make everybody in my friend group paranoid. I told everything happening currently and what would happen in the future with the world, then after being the embodiment of anxiety I tell them how to avoid it. Apparently I’m very convincing, they agreed that this was scary, and they’re willing to use matrix to speak with me.

since I my deepest fears when I was little was being watched. I thought about this alot, and I kept searching about privacy on the internet, at one point I couldn’t sleep because of intel management engine on my thinkpad. I’m well informed about these stuff.

However, my friends are ambitious people that feel importance in themselves. Those kinds of people are smarter and willing to do what they can to better their chances at life. The more a person don’t care about themselves, the harder it is. (it may be also that It’s a coping mechanism)

I improved my speaking skills since I’ve gone through trial and error. I think there’s no other way to truly learn convincing people other than trying to do it first-hand.

There is a youtube channel called charisma on command. You can feel alot less pressure knowing a thing or two about charisma.

On lemmy I could not resist posting something since my brain thinks It’s thoughts are very important for others to hear.

How are you able to comment on a deleted post?

Anyway thanks for your effort in making this great comment, this does answer all of my possible qiestion. I was wondering about that because I did something very weird with my friend on camera.

Right on. I don’t know if people here have that kind of mindset of what lemmy is represented by, if that’s the case it isn’t great then. However I don’t think that attitude is necessarily bad either, building a good foundation for a community is great for the long run. With any kind of attitude what the community is about is still undeniably defined by the users there.

They could definitely have a cute little a LemmyBot DMing them that guide.

I’ve seen comments about devs being busy implementing other stuff, so I was thinking if people can have a wiki hosted elsewhere maybe on github or just make lemmy posts and chain-link them together.

Some of the ideas seem more of a burden to the community mod e.g. setting up a matrix server (and modding that too). But then again you already wrote that that is optional.

Typo: I meant chatroom, that’s kinda unnecessary

Don’t be harsh on yourself just because you tried. The fact that you did means you haven’t given up yet. All this effort means something. So, keep it up.

I guess that makes sense, but at least I want that I’m the one controlling what I show on my account, not giving up extra unnecessary PII

I’d like to think tor is just a precaution, like signing up for an email as a whistleblower, you’d like to have your location more hidden.

XMPP is more safe, I can’t remember what exactly but I remember the whole XMPP vs Matrix thing, and matrix has this metadata problem, that spreads like a literal virus; instead of exchanging individual messages- entire chats while encrypted is stored in each server you federate. in regards to privacy Matrix isn’t the best. on top of that most people sign up matrix on matrix.org so that’s a huge chunk of metadata.

However, your family and friends are sometimes boomers when it comes to signing up for xmpp. so what I’d do is use both and spoonfeed them every step of the way to use xmpp. I’d like to make an easy guide for xmpp one day.

I wan’t a gaming instance :((

discord =/= forum

Probably why people are moving gaming forums to discord is for the fact that social connectivity works better with discord. you get to know people by talking to them directly via chat or voice call. and for gamers, well, they can find other players and play with them right on the go.

I do like forums for the fact that it can contain so much interesting info and events, people act more diverse. the themes are weird and some may cause seizures but overall pretty fucking great. weird shit may not be the stereotypical furry and porn or spooky internet stuff but also more onto specific kinds of topics you may not even know existed.

anyway Rest in peace (presumably) to the big three, phpBB myBB SMF.

What must be done?

In the days where these kinds of communities are dying, is the most important time for everyone to recreate a dying community, bring it back from the dead. Take examples of the successful communities of the past. look at guides like runyourown.social jot down what do you want to do in it. there is no point of a community doesn’t have a goal, or at least some fun stuff going on.

You have all the tools you have to create whatever kind of dogshit network service, and more. hell, everything you see in the internet nowadays you can run on a VPS. a voice chat server, a social network, forum, email, video streaming platform, game servers, you name it.

So, any of you who wants to save this thing. Write something down. and just do it.

and stop fucking complaining on blogs.

So I better be on peertube and stay there. I should ask someone to reuploud my stuff later probably.

Uploading, I already use NewPipe/Freetube, Invidious, + privacy redirector.

Youtube gets too easy for me to jump into rabbitholes for a finite amount of hours. So I only visit the official youtube website only for some dank memes.

I appreciate your answer. Guess it’s time to read and investigate stuff.
