  • This comment says it all.

    To illustrate op’s point I’m going to spin up an instance, federate with everyone, and not tell anyone what that instance is.

    Then I’m going to feed all that data into my new website, called Open Lemmy Stats, where anyone can query the user data ive accumulated. The homepage will be ripe with insights, leaderboards and all kinds of data on prolific users.

    Additionally, I’ll display a snapshot/profile of a random user by feeding that users data to GPT4 to make inferences about the user’s political affiliations and display the results.

    Worst of all, I’m not going to out my instance for everyone to know it as the one to defederate. In fact I’m spinning up a few instances that will host innocuous communities that I plan to mod and support to give my instances cover for their true purpose: redundant fediverse datastreams for my site, Open Lemmy Stats.

    I’ll also have a store where anyone can buy my collected fediverse data for a handsome sum.

    Just kidding I’m not doing any of this. But someone absolutely will or already is.


  • This is an old one for many countries…but I fear a housing crisis in Germany.

    Right now it’s not as prevalent as in the us for example but there are no steps taken to prevent it becoming a major social issue.

    • Construction industry suffers from high prices and a lack of workforce
    • The only housing that is being worked on are luxury properties
    • Infrastructure development in rural areas where housing is still affordable is not progressing
    • Regulations and hurdles for new buildings are more difficult and complex than anywhere else
    • Real estate ownership is often only possible through inheritance/generational wealth, as income is extremely highly taxed

    I tried all the reddit apps I got aware of and Joey was just miles ahead of the pack.

    There have been so many customization settings, custom themes, well-impoemented navigation features like skipping posts/comments with the volume keys of the phone etc.

    I’m currently using 8 apps for Lemmy and none of them seems even close (yes, I know these are mostly alpha releases).

    I really hope the joey dev creates a Lemmy client.
