@jagged_circle sorry the entire decentralized NOSTR interface is based on the lightning network. So while most clients support "likes" what it more prevalent is "Zaps" a Zap is a micropayment of bitcoin over the lightning network (one zap is equal to one Satoshi equivalent to 100 millionth of a bitcoin). This incentivizes both the infrastructure and the content. Make something people like, get paid without a central corporation exploiting.

@onlinepersona I will admit that the search feature in GNU Mailman could use an upgrade on its archive search.
I actually get all of my mail list posts right here in Friendica as I use kill-the-newsletter to subscribe and "friend" the RSS so post just show in my social media feed the same as Mastodon Toots and Lemmy Posts, so they don't overcrowd my email inbox.
@onlinepersona no, it was definitely Discord, and he definitely was of the opinion that it was easier to find old discussions in Discord than email.
We recently had a guy try to get our local GNU/Linux User Group to move our communication to Discord because he found email too difficult.
The real winner of the streaming wars.
@asudox then again having a tool that is only used for sharing videos with immediate friends and family is fine too. Not everything needs to be focused on killling off a particular non-free software for it to have value in and of it self.
@asudox I love the idea of peertube. I have a couple of accounts. It used to be easier to load new content by URL when it supporfted input from YouTube, but YT has gone out of their way to maintain their virtual monoply. In order for such a service to be more useful than just sharing videos with your immediate friends and family you need a way for creaters to make money, which i think is going to be easier on #NOSTR . I think a better question is how do we make nostr useful for more than just bitcoinbois.
I know this is pointing at percentages, but those numbers are still way off from whatever else I was just looking at earlier today. Like they had lemmy #2, Pixelfed #3 and loops, whatever the hell that is, at like #5. Here on the best Fedi platform, friendica, they said there were just over 2,000 active users, making loops already at 6 times larger than us. I still think we need to get ready because someday the facebook migration will come and boy howdy.
@Megaman_EXE Maybe I didn't explain myself well. Most enjoyers of sport prefer to watch the best athletes. This is nearly always men. That's really the only reason that separate women's leagues ever got created. Many major sports, MLB, NFL, NHL, etc. don't actually have any particular requirements among gender, but the people who do want to see women participate have needed to create separate women's leagues for hockey, football, etc. because women haven't been able to compete at men's levels. And I say it's easy to understand because looking at numbers of ticket sales and television viewing make it pretty clear that far fewer people are interested in watching women's sports.
Some claim that its about exposure and marketing and not a true preference of sports fans, but even in more equal playing fields, like Crickets' "The Hundred" (English francise limited over Francise League) where every side has a women's and men's team and ever game is a double header in which both women and men play on the same date at the same location with the same ticket, 3 hours before the other, nearly half the audience doesn't get there until near the men's game starts (originally they actually had some times the men went first and sometimes the women went first and when men's game where first the attendance during the women's match was even worse). Similarly, the Olympics, which is fairly equally promoted, attendance at men's competitions is much higher with only a few exceptions, such as gymnastics and figure skating. Some claim equestrienne is the best Olympic sport as it's the only one where men and women compete as individual athletes directly against each other (of course others say it's the worst claiming the horse not the athlete is the one doing all the work).

@Fizz @meldrik in Free Software nothing ever "defeats the point" it just may not fit your particular use case. One of the advantages of Free Software is that it can be used by anyone for any reasons.
