Not true, I could set up a WordPress blog and start writing reviews. As long as it stays a niche thing I share with a couple of friends online, that “review platform” won’t be gamed or flooded by fake reviews.
My point being that closed “publishing” instances can be reliable.
Fuck, I am getting older.
I created my account during high school, now I am 25.
To be honest, I am grateful for the journey. I found Reddit when I needed it, I was spending too much time on 9gag and wanted to find something more productive to waste my time on. Reddit was, and still is, more than that.
TwoXChromosomes and gonewildstories are two subs that literally redefined my person.
I haven’t deleted my account, nor do I plan to. But, I haven’t used Reddit since my birthday on June 12th. I have been into the idea of the fediverse long before I first read about it, and I am here for the long run.
First of all, this post got me a bit worried about your mental health, is it possible you are under a lot of stress lately?
You are expressing something that I have been thinking too lately. Third parties, aka recruiters in this case, cannot be impartial if they are paid by one of the parties involved.
If you have an issue with your employer, you don’t go to the HR, you get a lawyer. A person fully representing your interest, equipped with the knowledge to actually do that.
I think the same should be the case for employment seeking. It’s not that you cannot build a network of colleagues, keep up with market trends, navigate legalities, and identify whatever new bullshit benefit companies are offering. But, delegating this job to a person/entity that specialises in it would most of the time be better.
Last but not least, I don’t think the term recruiter is appropriate, and I believe transitional recruiters are not going to be willing to help you.
Best wishes on your effort!! Please keep us to date, I am interested to see where this leads!!
For personal machines, I use rivers.
At work we use superheroes.
For hobby projects, cute 4 letter words (it’s a challenge), for example bubu and alia.
General popularity is not a good metric IMO. If I like a community, then it shouldn’t matter if a million people like or it’s only me and my cousin. If the community likes the content, I want to see it.
It’s trust between the members of a community.
However, weighted sorting is not a solution too, upvotes counts are not linear. Maybe, quantile sort?
yes! yes! yes! I have the same problem.
My suggestion is to add a view with subscriptions ordered by the selected criterion (i.e. new/active/hot/top) and below each community there is vertical list with posts from that community sorted.
This would allow see what’s up with the communities we follow and then jump in those communities if we find anything interesting.
le me about to say fedora is a viable alternative
(remembers red hat is shitting the bed right now)
(radio silence)
While I cannot think of a better decentralization example, the lack of source code makes me worry this solution would not satisfy the open source software (OSS) criteria.
