Exercising is obviously better than drugs in any way shape or form. Except that the dopamine comes later and requires more hard work. You won’t be able to tell a crackhead to go exercise because he needs to invest time and energy into it while a line of coke, some crack or any other drugs is seconds away from the much anticipated dopamine rush.
Tarot cards are used by a lot of my girl classmates to “predict the future”. I don’t actually think that they do it religiously though. I think it is more about “knowing the unknown” and being edgy. This goes the same for astrology. Yes, tarot cards have been used for playing games but now it is known only for the “ability to predict the future”.
As far as video games go I don’t really have the right to talk since I spend my time playing them so you can skip this part. The thing I have to say is that I don’t like singleplayer story mode games. The only thing you get after spending hours is “congrats you’ve done it” and some achievement. I can’t say the same thing about multiplayer games and simulators though. In mp games you get competition. There will always be someone better than you and you have to play to become better than him. Be it your friend or your opponent. Simulator games if played right (that means no assistance from the computer and the right hardware) can teach you some stuff about the real life. Like beam.ng about driving cars and xplane 11 about flying planes
My conclusion would be: things that are easy to do (drugs, games) and edgy stuff (tarot) would always be more attractive to teenagers no matter what religion they are unless their parents teach them what is bad and what is good while they are young.
No, no need to. If they want to defederate let them do it. If we do it first they might think we are are actually affected by that decision. If an instance wants to defederate make one post about it and leave it like that. Don’t fill the whole feed with how instance X wants to defed and stuff
Edit: let them get their dopamine hit from defederation. We don’t lose anything. They are the one who lose.
Also wouldn’t it be better to use something like quay.io since it is open source and can be self hosted. It also doesn’t have pride month logo
Anything that runs gitea is a good place. Codeberg is the only commercial one I know of but I’ve also used git.techsaviours.org and it is pretty reliable.
Alright, you convinced me. The concept is cool bit I would really like to see it implemented in reddit’s form. There is one thing that I don’t like about twitter and that thing is the fact that posts there are made for the whole world to see where reddit’s posts are med to be seen only by one community.
Btw I am npub1wm3k7tatl0vvx5llek50upu80gyh0mj248vmes3y7qsr34emx7rsemt98k on nostr and I am using nostr.donky.social as relay
Kind of agree kind of disagree. On one side this defederating is harmful for the fediverse and makes it controlled by the big players. On the other side you can create a network of instances where only good content is showed and all the stupid crazy stuff from outside it stays outside. On third side this is just echo chambering.
I would like to see a world where a single instance is either personal or just of 3-4 people (lets say family and/or friends) and a lot of these instances connect to one another. This way if one instances decide to defederate half of the network isn’t lost but just 1-2%.
I haven’t explored nostr that much but how does the moderation work on there? One can just create a bunch of accounts and fill the whole network with porn.
Fuck. Thats bad
