If you can program you can probably create an instance and then a moderation bot that bans people with more then X comments or Y posts a day. maybe that would increase the average quality of content. sounds like an interesting experiment.

I use to use old forums, i don't think the fediverse is worst then those old systems.
I think you could just ask a one time fee when registering or a monthly fee if you want to reduce moderators burnout or increase professionalization (in the best possible sense). maybe even just have the money used and publicly donated to some non profit (or stuff like funding lemmy development). maybe having a place where people know everyone donated to achieve some worthy goal will increase the trust between people.
Legal then says later that the clause was not legally binding and can’t be enforced or such, making dev rollback to earlier Intel version
Yeah it was said by email, i actually did some research and turned out it is indeed not legally binding, i think it is good to know.
Sounds like a really useful project. do you have a link to the source code? (hopefully it is open source) , or a github/codeberg/whatever link? (so that people could easily submit issues). i can add it to awesome lemmy (or you can do it, its fairly easy).
software in the public interest
These donations can be made to SPI directly, or they can be marked for use by a particular member project. It is preferred that the donations be made to SPI, as they can then be used wherever the need is greatest. Donations to SPI that are not marked for a particular project will be distributed to the projects that are currently affiliated with SPI as needed, and/or used for SPI's own expenses.
It's pretty good for self improvement. I scored kinda high on neuroticism but after learning some psychology stuff like mindfulness/meditation/neuroplasticity/stoicism/ACT i managed to reduce it significantly after about 2.5 years. there was even a study recently that showed how using a app to change your personality and it's not easy and require serious training like learning a language or a musical instrument. I hope we will get eventually some open source version of that app.
and of course you need to be open to it, humans have a documented bias toward not believing what might hurt there self esteem.
Simply because good encryption tends to be slow, making the app unproductive imo.
gocryptfs is very fast for me. i have a file with about 5600 lines and i detect no difference when opening it under encryption and not under encryption. but in gocryptfs each file is encrypted separately . so you could get some information about the directory structure. but the name of the files and folders is encrypted ("archive" for example turns into something like "AaL6P86WWMnqQkMYnsRBXg").
Some types of content might take days to research or work on and might not have the audience to allow monetization by ads . mitra exists for those types of things and is open source unlike this project (it seems).
seems fairly simple , some form of XML? that gives you a schema that can be used to check the file and a rich software ecosystem of writers and parsers. Speaking of consensus based standards its also a standard way to store data.
I would not worry too much about encryption, i use gocryptfs which gives me a encrypted folder where i store my notes in org-mode (there is also gui software for this). the encrypted notes could be some encrypted folder and some sort of standardized encryption (or maybe the encryption type specified in the metadata?)
Growth have been fairly organic . number of contributors grew by 28 percent this year. there are a lot of users so given that a percent of them will do some form of advocacy that will probably lead to more users and there will be a relatively large amount of people saying they adopted it.
I think you want to use AGPL. people can still make a closed source website out of your project due to the ASP loophole.
