Zot identity management is really nice, would love to see it continue on it's own merits. Bringing ZOT to AP will be an amazing addition, but I still really hate how AP handles nearly everything else.
Nice writeup Sean.
OMG factorio will be the death of my sanity....
Rural America sucks for a lot of things, be it entertainment, jobs or ya relationships. Especially bad for any thing LGBTQ relationship wise. A lot of the folks are still 'closeted' and so finding others is definitely hard. It's not as easy as Swipe on Grindr/Tinder and have a date tonight. Relationships, even friendly ones, take a lot more effort and work in RA.
My advice would be;; stop looking for a relationship. Tell your friend to look for things to do and places to be, situations and projects to enjoy. Put themselves into the situations they can have happiness and fun. The rest will follow. Tell them to find hobbies, be it bowling, gun range, ATVing, etc... something, anything that gets them out and around other people. And then just let it flow from there. Don't give them advice about finding a partner; give them advice to be in a situation, where they can find a friend or more, later. I get the goal, but it shouldn't be the sole goal for them. Have fun, do things that involve others. Interact, follow up, and have fun. :) Tell them not to start with the idea of finding a partner or .. FWB; but finding something they enjoy doing that involves others around. Being around people and then participating and involving them, will lead to the other goal eventually.
It will take time and repeated interactions. I think I read before, it takes ~6 or 7 interactions before someone feels friendly with another. So a one off bowling event typically won't lead to a relationship or a date. Multiples, with the same people around, has a better change. Do things; not people. ;)
Welcome to the club. That said, Lemmy is not the fediverse. There is other software out there compatible with activity pub and the wider fediverse. Though nothing specifically implementating your ideas.
where there’s a tree of people you’ve invited.
And that is how you get singular point of view echo chamber.
What a bad day to have eyeballs.
Heya Rimu; thanks for commenting on this discussion. We've been tracking on piefed for a while, but as you noted it doesn't yet seem ready. Your software contributions and efforts for the Fediverse community are certainly notable however. I can't speak for the rest of the Admin team, but I like what I see with piefed code, actual open source development community, and a roadmap. There are a few issues in addition to the 'large crowd' that Beehaw might bring though, which I'd rather not blast in public. Please reach out to me on Matrix (Handle in PF).
Once again, thank you! Love what you're doing for safety and moderation tooling. Would love to help contribute, but have my hands in a lot of cookie jars ATM.
EDIT: Those shortcuts better be VIM shortcuts.... I mean, it's only six key combinations to quit right??
I can't believe it's nearly half way through March... WEEK?? It's been a busy couple of months since last Friday.
Yeah but does it have legal weed yet??
