indeed, you make a good point. most of these people didn't experience reddit when reddit had "no userbase" compared to other social media.
but reddit was unique, and that is what drew people there. sadly, lemmy does not have that much "uniqueness" to show (being a reddit clone), besides being federated and fully open source.
actually, i was talking out of my ass a little. i am not sure itself how things work, i was under the impression that proton can't access your clear text mails, once they are stored (of course, they can build backdoors that snoop when receiving mails, but we shall not assume this), similar to how mailbox.org allows you to have all incoming mails be immediately encrypted via your chosen pgp key, effectively having e2ee. i was under the impression proton did this automatically and stuff, i mean why else do you need to use their own apps for everything and to even use basic stuff like imap? but yeah i don't know their setup exactly.
ah ok, find ich gut. und danke für die info!
aber: "zuhausi" existierte meines wissens nach schon unabhängig davon als inherent zangendeutscher genderneutraler diminuitiv, abgeleitet vom englischen diminuitiv "homie".
und ich dachte im übrigen, die diminuitiv konstruktion mit "-i" als idee für entgenderung gab es auch schon, aber vielleicht ist das "y" als abgrenzung zu einem diminuitiv, weil es ja keiner sein soll. das funktioniert nur in geschriebenen, gesprochen klingt es genau wie ein diminuitiv.
this post has a really weird tone.
they are making bold demands for the developers of lemmy. if you wanna help and get involved, go get involved. open up issues, get in touch, try to understand. making a big ranty post on reddit is not going to be effective in communicating with the developers. i would have been less bothered by this if they had written it more in the spirit of "my issues with/criticism of lemmy".
i agree with the sentiment that if it is not convenient or attractive, then you won't get whole communities to switch services, no matter how good the intentions are and how much one argues on principle.
but so many of the issues people bring up boil down to "there aren't enough people there, there isn't enough content". and with so many people, it feels like they are looking for excuses to not like the less popular and less conventional alternative platform. i get a lot of the criticism, but so many of these comments feel like laziness and cowardliness against trying something new and with a smaller userbase.
a lot of the problems also boil down to federation which is just part of the inherent design of lemmy. i agree with the idea that recommending some canonical homeserver is better than to just tell people to figure it out themselves, and to then be confused by how timelines work. the whole there being buyfromEU channels in multiple different servers is just the unfortunate reality that this "movement" or topic is not a specific closed group.
i, for one, like the idea of more local scenes, with different UIs. it is like more traditional forums, where you need multiple accounts for different forums. with lemmy, it is similar, but most of the time you only need one account and the forums are more interconnected. when a whole community lives on one specific forum (yes, even today where this is rare), the community is usually happy. and with the rare cases lemmy scenes that are localized in big numbers in one channel, i get the impresssion that people are happy there. the interconnectedness is a nice bonus. but also, i get that buyfromEU is not that big of a subject to just join a whole new forum for.
ultimately, the whole buyfromEU thing on reddit is a consumerist culture anyway. people want this stuff together with their cat videos. and dankmemes. and their news. and porn (actually, most people use a separate account for this, this would be a pro of federation of lemmy). it is consumerist activism. people want a classical social media experience, and you will just not get that with lemmy.
i personally think that the biggest issue is userbase. lemmy with the biggest userbase for a spwcific topic would mean people would have an incentive to go there, and most people who i know who tried lemmy who stuck around for longer than a month, seem to get used to the federation stuff. like, it's all good once you get your feed together.
in deutschland gab es nur extrem wenige filialen. eine kollektive blockbuster-nostalgiw, wie viele es in amiland haben, gibt es in deutschland eigentlich nicht.
pseudoangelsächsische diminuitive mit "y" im deutschen, statt mit üblichem "i", sind, wie beindiesem pfosten zu sehen, anscheinend unerfreulicherweise immer beliebter. wenigstens wurde nicht die abartige "ies" mehrzahl verwendet.
you are correct in being wary of self-hosting email, i cannot recommend it. a lot can go wrong. besides downtime (already pretty bad by itself) i have known cases of domains and/or server IPs being blacklisted/spamlisted on multiple big mailservers (microsoft, google) because of bad administration, effectively killing the self-hosted setup.
you would definitely want a static IP (as opposed to updating DNS entries all the time), a solid spam setup, and multiple failsafes, meaning not just data backup, but also mechanisms for preventing downtime like secondary machines. it really is only worth it if multiple people make use of it and you have multiple dedicated admins, in my opinion. but in that case, i think it can be very cool.
as others have pointed out, a good (and in some sense the canonical) option is to use something like mailbox.org with your own domain, or other providers, or even a webhosting package from netcup or hetzner or similar. these are all solid, and you have professional support.
side note: downside is, your data there is more snoopable, less so with something like proton. but that shouldn't be your biggest worry, since emails always exist not just on your server, but also on the other side of the communication, and you have no guatantees for privacy there. e2ee (like pgp) is what you would need in that case.
ain't no shame! more power to ya! don't think you are missing out, alcohol is pretty dumb usually.
"the" mapping? there is no "the" mapping.
you are talking about the canonical inclusion mapping 1 in N to 1 in Z (restriction of the canonical inclusion of rings of integers Z into any other ring, Z is an initial object), which can be seen as a non-generic canonical mapping of semigroups.
but as sets, there is no inherent structure, there are injection, surjections, and of course bijections in both directions.
the only way one can call one set "bigger" is in the very strict sense of sets, N being a true subset of Q. however, this assumes N to be an actual subset of Q, which is a matter of definition and construction. so we say there is some embedding included, which is the same as (re)defining N as that embedded subset, so we are at your canonical inclusion of semigroups again. if you view this as inherent to N and Q, then there are "more" elements in Q as in N, but not in terms of cardinality.
nice "meme"
damn once you get it...

switch the order of the last two terms (the second equality), put the 0.01 in the middle, and it makes a bit more sense when read as calculation steps.
0.04 * 75 = 4 * 0.01 * 75 = 4 * 0.75
yes i meant daniel micay. ah okay didn't know he was heavily involved. by "the accounts" i assume you are referring to social media accounts?
wasn't that in the pqst? wasn't that just the guy who started it or sonethinf? isn't that person off the team now?
why is the "Viole" in "Violence" crossed out?

so in both cases, proton and mailbox, you have "less" snoopability, in the sense that they wouldn't be able to snoop your stored mail retroactively. i am (in some sense naively) assuming "good" conditions here, such as that they don't keep copies somewhere.
of course without actual e2ee there is always a way for a provider to snoop any incoming email if they wanted to.
