  • There might be very niche communities but Lemmy has grown so much in the last year. I would encourage you to search for whatever community you are looking for. You might not find the exact equivalent but you might find a good match.

    For example, there may be a /r/3dprinteddildos on reddit but that won’t exist here. But I am sure that the 3D community here can point you in the right direction.

    Keep in mind how subreddit often got created: when the general community doesn’t provide enough content for your niche, the niche community is developed.

    /r/gonewild is a great example of this. It went from amateur porn to a cestpool of only fans content. Other subreddits were created to continue the way.

    It’s the same thing here: find a community that’s close and post.









  • That last part is what trips so many incels. They can’t see women as equals. They see them as parts that operate upon a special sequence of words and actions that they don’t want to figure out because they are horny.

    The number of women I talk with who have been harassed within the first message of a dating app is almost 100%.

    I’m an average looking guy. I don’t consider myself funny. I genuinely enjoy getting to know people. I do pretty okay out there.



  • This is essentially what Mozilla is doing but providing a legal framework for all open source projects.

    As an open source developer, my initial reaction is that this isn’t good. You’re just shifting the problem. Your code remains open source so if you have a python or JavaScript library that doesn’t require compiling, you can’t use this.

    Not only that, but FOSS requires you to provide build instructions for your binaries. Someone can clone your repository and run it through CI/CD and have a binary.

    I’m willing to be proven wrong here.

    I’ve seen only one method work well: strong copyleft FOSS licenses like AGPL that essentially make it impossible for a company like Amazon from profiting off your code without a separate agreement.

    You could add a non-commercial clause to your open source license. I can’t find the one that I used to use back in the day but essentially the goal is to augment whatever license you use by attaching a preamble that dictates how the software can be used.

    Attaching that clause does push the software out of FOSS and into source available since you are restricting who can use the software, which is why I stopped using it.

    Edit: found the clause I used to use back in the day. I don’t personally recommend it over more copy left licenses.
