Hang on, you’ll switch discuss.online to this sublinks.org ? What if I don’t want to?

What’s an LISN ?

Edit: @feathercrown edited their post which originally said LISN.

There are so many buzzwords in that announcement it makes my head hurt.

In fact, went to sublinks.org and the about section is also full of buzzwords. It’s not clear at all.

I thought I was pretty familiar with the fediverse (joined mastodon in 2018) but I don’t understand what some of that means. What is a Link Aggregation Social Network and why is it capitalised?

It’s impossible to prove that anyone else or anything else exists. It’s also impossible to know whether my brain is deceiving me.

I think this depends what country you are from. Generally, most countries it’s the normal thing to be pleasant and show an interest in people. It actually helps you as well because being insular ultimately ends in loneliness.

But no one should pressurise you into doing something you don’t want.

I’d say companies THINK they will make more money. That might be true with big, complex software that can be sold as a service that people will use (Photoshop, Windows, Office etc) or services that offer a lot (like the original version of Netflix or Amazon Prime)

But it’s not true for things you can take or leave. (Such as most mobile apps which now have to really on sales to boost conversion rates from Free tier to subscription).

Then you also have the issue of a fragmented market so even previously successful services like Prime are looking to get more money by adding extra costs (eg Prime Video will have adverts from the summer unless you pay $40 extra per year as a new top up subscription)

So it’s more of a theoretical reliable income.

Remember fuel cells? One tiny drop would power your phone for a week.

Can I recommend Voyager? It’s actively developed and well supported.

Interestingly, Lemmy World has stayed on 0.18.5 (for the moment) which might give Liftoff! a little longer to update.

I think the problem with every survey I’ve seen is that it does something like

<20 20-30 30-45 45+

We do actually know quite a bit about the Internal Monologue and other forms of intrapersonal communication.

There isn’t one single use for it or benefit of it (in the same way water has many uses)
