You are buried in a coffin 6ft deep, with no light or cell phone. There is only a small tube connected to the coffin from outside that allows you to breathe (edit: you can breathe with no difficulty). After 48 hours, you are dug up and given 1 million dollars. Do you do it?...
As a Singaporean, I’m shook that the system can be broken so seemingly easily.
As for a human being (myself) it is hard as it is to transfer my CPF (similar to a pension fund) for payments such as housing, medical, investments etc without having a million OTPs, gov app (Singpass) verifications etc.
All things considered, $100+K out of $10M is ~1%, is not much for scam amounts lost from CPF (pension).
I personally only use the Google calendar widget and it’s the only one I feel that is useful. I’m sure there are other widgets out there that I could be using in my daily life....
EDIT: I want to encourage being destructive to reddit, however I will be less provocitive because thats not whats needed. want to finally put it to rest? dont word things how i did....
I thought about these other strategies, edit comments, link to Lemmy/other fediverses, but it’s too much work for something I want to walk away from.
It’s as if breaking up with an ex for his/her toxic behaviour, and choosing to burn him/her even more, or just stfu and move on, I’m choosing the latter.
Mentally, I think it’s better for me, rather than carry this grudge passenger longer than it should.
Same for twitter, meta/fb. I’m fine with seeing posts as long as it’s ‘news’ and not being salty.
i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.
It’s quite telling that by having a more ‘complicated’ sign up process and ‘how-things-work’ around here is able to keep idiots off the Fediverse (for now)
And I appreciate this, which means as a potential user I need to do my own background research, look around at different sources of information, lurk for a bit, before committing to a platform. And this in and of itself, for me at least, gives me a better appreciation of the ‘verse’ and how I can contribute to it.
From the article “The Fediverse is not that. It’s kind of… different. I mean, the very first thing you get asked when signing up for a Fediverse platform is “Which Instance?”. The signup process in the Fediverse is more complicated than people are used to.”
A counter example to this ‘barrier of entry’ would be threads. Super easy to join, making it almost ‘stupid’ not to join if you’re already on IG and using Twitter, without understanding what it offers besides simply being an alternative to threads (this is where I was at, could not outweigh the cons vs twitter, thus did not join)
Would you be buried alive for 48hr for a million dollars?

What widgets do you use?

Who is running Lemmy.World?
One of the things I like about Fediverse is you can always tell (most of the time, I guess) who is running a show on what instance and where from....

I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.

The Fediverse is Not The Future of The Internet. (uselessauth.btw.so)
I don’t think the Fediverse will become mainstream. But I’m actually happy about that. And so should you.
What's happening in France?
Is it just me or did anyone else became a more avid poster since joining lemmy?
On reddit I was a lurker that posted like once or twice a year, but ever since joining lemmy I’ve started posting multiple times a day.
How did Lemmy.world become more popular than Lemmy.ml?
I don’t understand how Lemmy.world developers managed to surpass both Lemmy.ml and Beehaw.org instances in user activity.
