I love these examples! These use cases sound very applicable to me, so I'll try giving them a shot

This is a wonderful idea. I don't play DnD personally, but this example gives me some ideas. Essentially what you've done is organize creative works by breaking them down into bite sized interconnected pieces.

When you capture what you've learned from articles, how do you keep the information accessible in the future? My concern is that the cardinality of note topics is so high it will be difficult to find myself in a situation where I recall a note when I need it... But maybe I just need to give it a shot myself to see if it works.

I find the idea of owning a personal knowledge graph incredibly intriguing, but I've had trouble getting started. To be frank, I'm not quite sure what to include. A lot of the information that I might feel like I would want to save is also readily available via Google and can be retrieved faster by Googling than by diving into my Obsidian notes. I'm focusing primarily on personal use-cases, so nothing for business or freelancing. What do you use Obsidian for? And how much do you use it? Tens of notes per month... Or hundreds? Or even thousands?

Most of the hate I see is projected through the news. There is some intolerance in my family, but we have an agreement. The friends I had before I came out who couldn't cope are not my friends anymore. With time, I've grown to accept how those people saw me. They really didn't see anything in me that they disliked. It's not me. It's how they understand LGBT lives to be. And it's flat out wrong. I know that I'm living a normal and happy life being out and gay, so that helps me forget the hate. Another thing is that I've found a small community that supports me, and treats me as an equal. That's an important thing for every LGBT person.

Ok, no. This headline distorts the facts significantly. My understanding from reading it is that Starbucks is threatening to take away the employer provided healthcare for everyone, not that it will take away the trans affirming parts of the healthcare. While I absolutely do not side with Starbucks in this situation, let's not misrepresent the facts. This is a worker's rights issue, not an LGBT one.

Is the profit motive the only issue here? IIRC YouTube leadership was forced to speak at congress hearings because the gov suspected them of biasing against conservative viewpoints.

Reddit is a trove of incredibly useful and niche information across a huge range of topics. I wonder if Lemmy will be as searchable from Google, and if it will serve a similar purpose.

Hmm, those are some good points. I am mainly concerned with the difficulty in moderating the server well (especially as it scales) but your and the other comments have mostly convinced me.

Well, a huge caveat to that is that there are world class Researchers who create constantly adapting intelligent spam filters to keep spam out of inboxes. Maybe the fediverse will have something like that someday! Who knows!

For example:

  • bots everywhere
  • astroturfing
  • repost bots being sold to spread propaganda
  • etc.

This is my worry for the Web. Lemmy seems even more open than Reddit was (less bot prevention). Maybe Lemmy will get beefier protection as time goes on?

Web 1: Decentralized everything

Web 2: Centralized everything

Web 3: Decentralized everything?

Just to clarify, individual accounts will be in trouble if they subscribe to communities on other servers that break the rules? Or are they blocked by default?

I just joined minutes ago, so my opinion probably doesn't matter all that much, but until the community grows quite significantly, I'd say all of the above :)
