I know but having a reddit style front page or trending like Twitter would look more engagefull.

Email is a utility ๐Ÿ’€ not a social platform

Just to be clear each site, Lemmy, Mastodon.... Would have it's own front page under this idea.

A group of people who would all need to agree before action, a mini government of sorts, maybe elected idk but its the only way to gain a real foothold. The people running it are only supposed to act if illegal activity is going on and they are contacted by authorities in the appropriate jurisdiction.

Because social media is controlled by big corporations and thats why they are such shit. Once Reddit, Twitter and Facebook falls and if it falls to the fediverse it will be controlled by the average joe not political money motivated operatives

That can be worked out, have power shared by say 10 people who have to agree to any changes they make to it. or use AI (I know not ideal).

Decentralization is obviously the big thing about the Fediverse but is it TOO decentralized to gain traction?

There is no reason why they have to be fully separate domains in the same branch. You can set up a system of fully independent moderation and extreme levels of customization while having them all on one site with a front page that allows everyone to see whats popular.

A front page wouldn't prevent individual subgroups from requiring approval to join, it wouldn't prevent subgroups from banning those it doesn't want. It doesn't prevent users from blocking subgroups that it doesn't want to see on the front page.

What would be most useful is that now someone could create an account on the Reddit, Twitter, Facebook(?) alternatives and give them access to every community, and then allow each community to set its own rules, and customize its own to be unique while having a unified product to "sell" and get people to move.

Hot take? Blue Sky should be worked with to join the Fediverse as the twitter alternative and Mastodon should work to be the Facebook alternative

TLDR: One front page and general site for Lemmy, Mastodon....and to sign up and see whats popular and then have fully independent subgroups.

Should we allow people to transfer their reddit account to this site? in c/[email protected]

Not importing the history just making it quicker and simpler you keep your name and email and its instant as long as no email duplication

Get a post on reddits ALL saying a site with the same UI as old reddit but better moderation and Run in Europe and people will swell if its easy to switch. Especally now because reddit just said you can get banned for what you upvote LOL

Do you believe in free will? in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

Yes but I need to define free will, I define it as the freedom to make a choice. We don't control who our parents are, we don't control what country we live in, we don't control how others interact with us but we can control what choices we make.

We can chose option A-B-C.....
