Announcing /c/ModelRevolution
Clearly most of us are still living in this capitalism system that we dislike. Many of us have read theory. But very few of us have participated in any simulation to practice that theory. This sub aims to change that. See https://lemmy.ml/post/150552

c/antiwork is officially partnered with a Telegram, Discord and IRC now!
* [Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#antiwork:matrix.org) * [Telegram](https://t.me/antiwork_chat) * [Discord](https://discord.gg/hbtukJCqc9) (channel: #antiwork) * IRC: #antiwork on [IRCNow.org](https://ircnow.org/) (i.e., connect to ircs://irc.ircnow.org and `/join #antiwork`) Keep the partnerships coming folks. Keep on extending that matrix bridge. A facebook group or other partnership seems like a good step.

I didn't investigate whether it can federate with the fediverse

Former reddit alt that was dedicated to trump begins to allow limited user created sub
A certain admin wanted rightwing instances to be listed on join-lemmy.org so rightwingers don't come to lemmy.ml. Rightwingers will likely be able to go straight to this former trump fan site to use a reddit alt. --- ``` In September, we began accepting reservations for sub names. Today, we are taking the next step by launching open sub creation to an initial, limited subset of users including: some moderators of existing subs some users who reserved sub names some active users subs which have been reserved can only be created by the user who reserved the name. If the subs are not created in a reasonable timeframe (likely months), then the names may be released back for other users to create. subs which have not been reserved can be created by any user who has the ability to create subs. Accounts which have the sub creation ability can create subs now from this page. Following the release of sub creation, we understand that it will become high priority to promote usage of the home feed, as well as to add new filtering capabilities to the trending feed (so that users can filter subs and content types that they do not want to see). Finally, we recommend that before creating a sub, you review the sub Naming Policy, and also be aware of the Moderating subs guidance. Thank you! ```

mdv.pl closes new users registration
matrix "Server is reaching CPU capacity with over 1100 active users. Registration closed until further notice." Rightwingers will make new matrix instances or use other instances. it has previously claimed they were being shutdown by police and they werent, so this might be incorrect.

wlfblls becomes the first (?) rightwing lemmy instance
Roughly dec 2021 this insinuates more rightwingers will be joining the fediverse. Also notably, it is listed on https://join-lemmy.org

i think it’ll better serve the foss community if we leave the subreddit unlocked. That way users will post content there, which will increase subscriptions which should increase the number of users who see the referal links.

The fee saves a person from having to set up a hs and bridges themself it seems. But a telegram and discord bridge are very easy to set up already (https://www.t2host.io/discord/), so people will probably use it for the other bridges.

Announcing: c/ Ominous Music
What is ominous music? I'm not sure really, But it should have an evil air to it. [Example](https://matrix-client.matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/converser.eu/ywlEufDOHsShWlqMAWzNnQwo) Is there a better term for this? Ominous (adj): Specifically, giving indication of a coming ill; being an evil omen

Support FOSS, then closed/capitalist alternative then the main closed/capitalist thing
Ex: Support (play): 1. [tuxemon](https://github.com/Tuxemon/Tuxemon), (foss) if not then 2. [temtem](https://peervideo.ru/w/tqmt5R4UXXt7saMEHtppdd) (closed source alternative i think) only then should someone support 3. pokemon

Trying to get an antiwork hexbear community created
May or may not be partnered with lemmy's antiwork, but hopefully. So when/if reddit's r/antiwork goes down, us antiworkers have a few possible good places to go to.

A supposed explanation that made a user go from anti fediverse to at somewhat favorable to the fediverse
They're talking about lemmy, but you can basically ctrl F replace if you're talking to someone about a different fediverse. --- #Q: So this is basically like making your own subreddits but with the differences that: 1) Subreddit owners have to pay to host their own subreddit 2) Subreddit owners can harvest private user data since they are the ones hosting the subreddit and the database 3) Site-wide rules don't apply, only subreddit rules. 4) Crossposting between subreddits in the form of "interacting with other instances" Idk man, this sounds like making your own website using premade libraries and code and then also paying for the hosting fees, but with extra steps. #A: Not exactly. An instance is more like a full Reddit than a sub-reddit. Communities can be created within an instance by the users. So the host is paying to host their own reddit, not their own subreddit. 1) Any user of an instance can create their own community, so it is not necessary to host to have your own "sub-reddit". The host of the instance pays for the hosting. You can create a community on any of the instances already available at [https://join.lemmy.ml/](https://join.lemmy.ml/) without hosting. 2) Yes. The host of any online service can harvest user data if they want. This is one of the reasons to encourage users to host their own instances. When we use free services we are paying with our data, and we can choose to pay with money instead. It turns out that is cheaper than a monthly subscription to a video-streaming platform! Furthermore, isolated user data about a small group of users from an instance is not particularly valuable, so the incentive to collect such data is small. The data gathered by centralized social media websites is valuable because of its massive scale, which allows powerful analyses to be performed on it. 3) Each instance is an independent site, so rules may be enforced over all of the subreddits within a particular instance, as well as rules for interacting with that instance. There are no universal rules applying to all instances. 4) Not quite. I can create my own reddit, and you can create your own reddit. Perhaps one of your users creates a subreddit called /r/RedditAlternatives and one of the users in my instance (or me) is interested in it. The user can follow /r/RedditAlternatives, post to it, and comment, just as if it existed in the same website. > > >Idk man, this sounds like making your own website using premade libraries and code and then also paying for the hosting fees, but with extra steps. Yes, this is precisely what it is. And the website is a federated Reddit alternative.

COVID-19 pandemic: Can zinc supplementation provide an additional shield against the infection?
Tldr; it might help to take zinc. Out of 249 studied patients, there was 8% (21 patients) mortality. The investigators found a significantly lower plasma level of zinc in COVID-19 patients who died (43 μg/dl) than the patients who survived (63.1 μg/dl). After adjusting different variables, the investigators showed each unit increase of plasma zinc at the time of hospital admission resulted in a 7% reduced risk of in-hospital mortality.

Introducing an antiwork matrix/element chatroom!
https://matrix.to/#/#antiwork:matrix.org Someone should create a telegram and discord for us to bridge too. OR better yet convince other preexisting discords/tg to bridge. If you're a regular here and want to mod the room, let me know your matrix and lemmy usernames.

Fantastic work! My critique:

Keep it simple, keep it dumb. Also, i believe part of the reason twitter became so successful is bc that 200 character limit or whatever is similar to people’s attention span. Decentralised description is too complex for a lot of people, something like:

Decentralized means there are multiple servers that hold data rather than one server. Each server has a different owner.


the more ppl who message the mods sometring similar, the more likely success is



Good job! If people with a reddit account post replies on yogthos’s reddit thread, it might make the thread move up in reddit’s ‘hot’ tab, which means more exposure. Reddit the company doesn’t like upvote manipulation iirc, so we can’t have many people from here upvote the post.
