Unfortunately, they shot themselves in the foot by responding the way they did. They basically did the job of anyone who wants them taken down and not trusted. It was probably the worst way they could have reacted. Such a tragedy to lose such a valuable website.

I learned about this today from the self-host newsletter.

Local governments need to be able to run independent infrastructure that can talk to each other. Centralized infrastructure is not an option anymore these days

Zulip can be self-hosted.

But people on Fiverr are probably now using AI too. So you might end up paying someone to use AI instead of just using AI yourself.

CCL has local groups. citizensclimate.org

Perhaps it depends on the quality of moderation for your Nextdoor area. But those issues you listed are separate from the buying/selling part of it anyway. I’ve generally found Nextdoor & Craigslist to be sufficient.

How does it compare to nextdoor & craigslist?

Not everyone, but definitely you.

Lemmy is a website, not an app. I never download an app, but it appears that is what you did. It sounds like there’s a knowledge deficit on your end, in addition to you being eager to apply labels to people to make yourself feel superior. You should definitely be embarrassed by your ignorant and childish comment that references a very immature and unintelligent subreddit.

I will reiterate that there are very good & important reasons to leave platforms like Reddit, Facebook, etc. Most people are too unintelligent, ignorant, and lazy to learn about them and move away from those platforms.

Unfortunately, most people are too unintelligent and lazy to learn about the reasons to support reddit-alternatives, and move to them.

That doesn’t prevent users from changing account passwords though right? Say you give access to someone to manage your social media (or some other important account), they could log in and change the password and email and take over the account.

Do you know of a way to protect against employee/partner sabotage?

Doesn’t that mean everyone has admin access to the full database and all accounts? You’re putting full trust in everyone that no one will make a mistake, or purposefully sabotage the db or accounts.

It’s not just Google unfortunately, Yahoo & Hotmail/Outlook are even worse.

That’s not really true. If something like 1-3% of recipients mark your email as spam, they’re all going to spam.

CanvasBlocker addon.

I didn’t see what exactly they’re using for a Teams replacement?

Politics and memes.

Social media is a terrible source for accurate, unbiased information. And memes are low quality content that shouldn’t be consumed by anyone.

Maybe Google Voice is factored in?

Exactly.

we can get random experts chiming in about interesting topics in an organic way

1. In my experience, many of the people claiming to be experts on reddit are spreading misinformation. This goes for Twitter too, and probably most other large social media sites. People love to be seen as an authority on a topic.
2. Reddit is anything but organic, and is getting worse and worse in this regard.
