The 404 Media team wrote about what they learned in their first year of 404 Media, and it’s full of hope.

An instant classic, Daniel Lavery’s How to win the battle against objects shares an extremely healthy strategy based on blaming an inanimate appliance and a person (who isn’t yourself) for anything inconvenient that happens to you. My partner and I have been practicing hard and I’m sorry to say they’re naturally gifted (and I’m naturally infuriated).

Basically asking: who is the Wikimedia Community? Readers? Developers? Contributors?

And how can we serve them if we can't define who they are?

We are already making change, but to make more we need to reaffirm the foundations of the web: that the web is for people. We need to go out and shout from the rooftops that the web can be different. To do so effectively, we all need to be the change we want to see in the web. I do this by being myself on my personal website, and by sharing my writing on my site actively.

Keep in mind cars are MUCH smaller in Europe. (I don't know if you're American.)

Good explanation.

If I remember correctly they defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works because they were two huge and largely unmoderated instances but did say that they'd like to refederate if solid moderation was put in place.

The SIJW admin and them had talks and agreed that they'd refederate when Lemmy would have decent moderation tools that allowed for that, which hasn't happened yet.

Being emotionally detached from really stupid leadership decisions is harder than it seems

It's not supposed to be. It doesn't jam endless recommendations in your feed once you've gotten at the end of the new, fresh content. I feel like it's a feature, not a bug, to have platforms that don't optimise for time spent on them, because they don't need our attention to show us ads.

"cool"... let's not take it too far. let's keep it at "slightly less awful than musk"

try to cure your burnout by waking up and starting work at 6am and passing out at 2am every single day for the rest of your life
