Anywhere it's generally okay to look/find things

Why is this all so convoluted and, seemingly, legal? Is this purposely convoluted to obfuscate illegal activity?

I think separating them improves the user experience for regular users, which I think counts as a real advantage. As I wrote in the body text:

As-is seeing an indication of a comment for a post only for it to turn out to be a bot is slightly disappointing at best, and mildly confusing at worst when their display has been disabled.

It's a small detail, but small details add up when it comes to the user experience.

If I just wanted to label it, colored tape. I don’t know if colored masking tape is ideal – my experience has been that masking tape left on a surface for a long time leaves some goo, though Goo Gone might get that off. But I suspect that it’d stay on the thing for a long time.

Yeah, the gooey factor is one of the only reasons I've been somewhat iffy on using masking tape for this purpose. However if it holds up to where it doesn't need replacement, could be a nonfactor all things considering.

By automated reporting do you mean something like filters on the backend to flag offensive posts per some custom settings?

I wonder, how might they reduce the cost of these? It's a cool concept, and I can understand some of the cost, but when your alternatives (simple pen & paper or marker & dry erase board) are substantially cheaper it makes this a harder sell.

Opinions on sites like LinkedIn or similar in your region for work? Do you have a profile set up and maintained as semi-obligatory? Or do you prefer a separate professional site for networking? Both?

Which kinds did you have in mind? Some that occur to me have far too brief interactions (or times to interact) to invite those opportunities.

The pre-seed stage startup is backed by angel investors and NYC accelerator Wolf, which Openvibe attended last year.

Openvibe is available as a free app on iOS and Android, but plans to experiment with a desktop version. The app will later introduce a subscription plan to generate revenue.

Have any services like this managed to develop a sustainable business model, especially after taking on investment?

Does Bluesky? Have they been running marketing? Much of what I've seen/heard of it has been more a result of Twitter imploding and people bringing up alternatives than any concerted marketing pushes.

edited for clarity, realized I'd overlooked Threads mention

I haven’t paid interest in over a decade and have made thousands from rewards.

I'm not too familiar with credit cards, do you mean this in a literal money sense or something more complex, i.e. the value of rewards & money?

Have you seen the !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world community? This would be a good post there as well, I think!

 

I recognize this will vary depending on how much you self-host, so I'm curious about the range of experiences from the few self-hosted things to the many self-hosted things.

Also how might you compare it to other maintenance of your other online systems (e.g. personal computer/phone/etc.)?

 

I know there's occasionally some backlash to reviews that go against a broader positive reception to some media, but do that many people still follow reviews to decide what to check out?

Edit:
Adjusted title to specify "entertainment media"

 

I've watched some here and there, but having to try to catch them when they stream has put me too much in the mind of old tv and catching shows when they air. Watching the recording afterward is maybe good for some white noise, but it's clearly not the intended experience I think.

Discoverability in this context meaning the ability to more effectively find public communities/people of interest. Alongside improving this however, respecting people's decisions on whether and how they may be found, if at all.

 

There's presently !asklemmy@lemm.ee and !asklemmee@lemm.ee, but both have low activity and appear to be unmoderated. Removing communities is probably reserved as a last resort, and seeking some moderators may be preferable, so I thought I might ask about'em to raise some attention.

These are the kinds of communities that could get pretty rough if left in their current unattended state, I think.

 

By novel I mean not emulating an existing popular platform, e.g. Lemmy-Reddit, Mastodon-Twitter, etc.

I'll read long posts in either format, but the fragmented format of chained microblog posts, or threads, is mildly distracting at times.

It doesn't seem like it would necessarily fit either !lemmy@lemmy.ml or !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml, and !moderators@lemmy.world I think may be more intended for Lemmy World community moderators.
