  • ha, k. i get it, and youre not wrong about gaining those skills.

    I would think a good therapist would be able to provide exactly the kind of inter-human training needed to achieve what youre discussing. the tools exist, the people are out there. can any of those who really want that help afford it? prolly not.

    we don’t have a ‘we need this thing to exist’ problem… we have a ‘no one wants to pay for that thing that already exists’ problem, as usual.

    that said, you pointed out this causes a lot of societal problems though, and it seems many of the most vocal or problematic are those people (men) who dont think they are the problem at all. no amount draggin them to the help well is going to make them drink.










  • youre absolutely right in that there needs to be pressure for a community to exist successfully. users would want to separate the signal of a specific topic from more general forums.

    • Adding servers is not going to help the signup issue, it will just make it worse.
    • what marketing?? there is none for the fediverse.
    • i know its tech heavy, but so was reddit at instantiation. There are several servers slowly attracting non technical peeps
    • centralization is a problem, and I love the idea of spreading the content out, but shits expensive. funding is an ongoing issue across the fediverse.
    • most of the modding (curation) failures ive seen come from the creation of a community without the requisite pressure. there just arent enough humans wanting that content or for it to be curated. someone jumped the gun on community creation.
