Reddit was awesome.

It’s sad what became of it. Jumped ships that took me to Lemmy-kbin Land!I love games, gamification and chat roleplaying, socializing with people, volunteering, different lists and difficult topics!

Hmm. Depends probably on do you leave the knives out, have paper/cardboard/plastic knives or real fighter knives with the costume!

An easier Halloween costume is Ghostface. No trousers and a shirt/jacket but a robe.
My friend drew the outline of the knife he uses in the movie in cardboard and I added many layers, getting a nice, thicker cardboard knife!

What doesn’t work out in the movie?

Who is your favorite character?

Comfort zone is easy. You don’t need to think as much and it may be a stress-free area.

Outside the comfort zone is where you can learn new things of yourself. What you like, dislike, think about the world and things inside it. It might be stressful and scary there.

Too far outside the comfort zone may result in burnout or mental problems.

I’d just ignore such folks. Plus I have yet to meet those folks - even after 62 posts I have done!

I don’t go for Internet points only. That also fuels me to trying coming up with something of quality, but it’s also the good discussions and possibly providing something interesting to folks to read/look at and to make them even think about stuff that gets me going 😄 Kicking in some extra activity in these communities!
But the same can be achieved with comments - you’re right with that one.

Making a post can require more thinking and effort, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I have spent more effort on a comment than on making a post!
The feel and interaction is different with a post and a comment. A post can wake up all sorts of commenting and a post is “more visible” to people who sees it as they scroll away. Comments of course also provide activity within a post/community, may generally be less visible to more people (you have to click a post open to see comments) and they can also gain all the off-topic commentary on them - just like in a post.

Not saying that commenting is worse than creating a whole post. Both have their reasons to exist and their places to be used.

.

  • If you get a million views in YouTube, can you gain a small income through that?
  • Can you partner up with other names/creators to raise awareness/visibility to your own name/work?
  • Sometimes you need to keep standing your ground. Explain how it is and if they don’t believe you, ignore them.
  • Do you wish to get money? Is this a hobby?

.

I think it depends how a post you create is doing. What the community you choose is, what is its activity, what kind is your post, what materials you use (text, images etc)…
To my knowledge (of one month), it’s easier to get any sort of engagement (being it likes or comments) from one cute or sad comic image than from sincere, deeper discussion of whatever topic.
We are fighting against people’s time. How should they use it?
And then again - we use these services for different purposes. Some of us jump in for a quick lolz off pictures, while others delve for hours in all sorts of peculiar discussions.

(I’m not so much of a content creator - at least when it comes to something else than text. But I try to do my part in all sorts of communities that interest me to kick some engagement around this place 💓
I’d like to see this thing taking off and getting at least some of the activity what Reddit gets)

What do you mean? Negative or constructive criticism? Negative votes?

Hardship is a part of life. That goes to criticism as well.
I am willing to take risks of bad feels for the sake of trying to make places more active. Luckily I’ve been doing much better than what I first anticipated!
No pain, no gain.

I do assume the day comes when we need to make the choice…but I hope I can give many more hugs to dem bots before that day comes!

Maybe different in America, but here in Finland I’ve never been asked to pay myself so I could volunteer. And I’ve been in few different places. And I also haven’t needed to provide any kind of CV to do volunteering (nobody has asked for such information).

Sometimes I’m offered free food, free products, free fun time and even one-time payments (they pay me - which I still find strange since I haven’t gotten used to it!).

I think, to truly boycott something, is to actually be invested in it. To really NOT buy or use a service or product, no matter the situation. To look for other products and services that are more moral and to start using them instead, even when the costs would be higher.

What is important to you?

You can hate the system, hate someone, a thing, product, service. Something. But it’s your choice, will you actually do differently or still just follow the path they made for you as an option to follow. And sometimes it may be the only path available.

the practice or occupation of engaging in sexual activity with someone for payment

Yeah, gotta agree that prostitution is something different, something more specific, and something not mixed in every work existing (climbing in work ranks through sexual favors is another matter).

Probably 90% of my time at Lemmy has been through a PC 😂

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

My account is about 5 days old. I’m not home during this weekend and I don’t feel like playing games now so I’ve done what I usually don’t do on PC: done some reading on ~~Reddit ~~ Lemmy. So that’s the reason why PC on me is the biggest right now.

I have created some posts too though, and that is more pleasant on a bigger screen and a decent keyboard. But reading and commenting only with no pictures or other files to be added is OK on a smaller screen with a no-physical keyboard 😁 (not that I reply often and when I do, I don’t write that much)

Would probably depend on how strongly my survive instinct would kick in, and what I’d be willing to do to survive. And of course on how we as a society would deal with this big change.

A few minutes would be the minimum.

[META] Creating a new community is easy, but to get people on board, you need to create some content.

If you create a community, please try and populate it with content. I see a lot of new communities with 0-1 posts from the mod. That’s not nearly enough to get people engaged - users are going to see that it’s a ghost town and leave....

  • If I created a community, would I become it’s (lone) moderator automatically?
  • What consequences, requirements and things would I need to keep in mind as a moderator?
  • Is it advisable to copy-paste content from Reddit to kickstart new communities (given that the link source to the original content was added as well when making new posts)?
