I think that Russia definitely does not want to become a general gendarme who sticks his toe wherever he can and finds “his” interests wherever he can. Only a multipolar world, where each country will respect the other side and build peace on the basis of mutually beneficial cooperation. That’s what the Russians think, that’s what Putin said yesterday at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum. There was a fairly large speech dedicated to this.

I tried making my own search engine based on Nutch (sometime around 2000).

We created a directory of sites, with a strict selection, because. had experience in administering Dmoz, but these sites that were added to our catalog were indexed. Not deep, just 1 click from the main page.

But then we did not have enough capacity to carry out a good search.

Now I’m thinking about getting back to it. As part of one project that I am writing now (MIT license. Directory example: https://libarea.ru/web). We are experimenting, learning, facets for navigation, we will fasten the search later, there is still a lot of work.

I apologize for not answering for a long time. Spring, construction, constant moving.

It’s so hard for me to immediately write about strengths, I got a little distracted, but I can only give advice. This applies to those who create this platform, developers. Make it stand out from the competition. You know for yourself what the strengths and weaknesses are. Make it so that anyone who puts another script (and there are plenty of them on the net) knows that his version is not very good and there is a better one - Lemmy. People are such that they will prefer to use the best, especially since installation and support is not very complicated here. Just don’t give anyone a chance. )

You can improve endlessly, any product can be made better and better, and you yourself know this.

Fascism will be destroyed. This is a solvable issue. Next to me is a man whose toes were crushed by soldiers of the Aldar nationalist battalion with pliers and a hammer. I don’t think he will like any mention of a country where a fascist junta came to power as a result of a coup d’état. 8 years of death and destruction of civilians. 8 years of mockery of the Russian-speaking population. 8 years of harassment. Fascist torchlight processions in the center of Kyiv, calls to kill Russian children. Know. Decision is made. The time for talking has passed. Fascists with bio-labs, with an attempt to get a nuclear weapon, with the loss of everything human, must be destroyed. So it was and so it will be. The truth will win. And yes, I will not write about politics here anymore. It doesn’t make any sense. Словоблудия и демагогия.

I liked what Kedmi said, Yakov - from 1992 to 1999 - director of the Nativ special service.

For all this time, Western intelligence agencies have not taken the time to find out the nature of the Russian people. They are stupid. It doesn’t matter what they do. They only make things worse for themselves. All the decisions they make on the sanctions, I generally get the impression that congressmen in the United States all work for Putin. All their decisions are aimed at strengthening the Russians. To unite them with China and India. To destroy yourself.

This is an interesting question. I don’t even know what I’m doing, a lot of interesting things. Martial arts gave more than 35 years of life, a master of sports in boxing, hobbies - programming, archeology and theology. I love animals, there is an ostrich, an owl, dogs, cats and smart mice. )

In fact, we can find an excuse for this in this difficult time (what he forbade). We can justify any action on either side if we go inside. Alas, or cheers, this is how our mind works. We will defend our point of view, we will hold on to what “everyone” says to the last.

But we don’t know much. I will say this, and I think I will express the majority of Russians. They rallied like never before. Never in history have there been so many lies, 1 trillion allocated, big money, calls to kill the president of another country, etc.

All I can say is take your time. I am more than sure that time will put everything in its place. I don’t like politics, but the Russians didn’t start the war, they end it. Fascism on the border is not needed. We do not need.

And for me, today’s time is significant. He shows what propaganda is capable of, how it changes people’s minds.

There is so much to programming even when I started following what is now considered best practice. It’s what everyone does. It is right. Most cannot be wrong. I’m wrong, I thought so.

And on one forum, not Russian, they told me no, you’re wrong. Just the majority is wrong! And the link to the article was thrown off: delusion ad populum

http://www.skepdic.com/adpopulum.html

The ad populum fallacy is seductive because it appeals to our desire to belong and to conform, to our desire for security and safety. It is a common appeal in advertising and politics. A clever manipulator of the masses will try to seduce those who blithely assume that the majority is always right.

There is a good article by Jeff Atwood, Hacker, Hack Thyself: https://blog.codinghorror.com/hacker-hack-thyself/

There are a lot of technical details, but maybe it will be useful to someone.

Good answers. It seems to me that there is no need to replace Reddit, copy it and try to be like it. A copy is always a weak resemblance. As Steve Jobs once said: I don’t want to do better, I want to do it differently. Lemmy have strengths, they need to be developed.

I enjoy following Lemmy’s development. I will place an ad on several of my sites, maybe someone will be interested. We need to talk more so people know. A lot of people just don’t know about Lemmy.

Mainly translation, writing my own social network (MIT license) focused on blogs, suggestions and code edits in a number of projects.

I have no hatred for him, maybe I don’t know something. Do I need to know this? Will this information change my life? I’ve always been a little amused by the reaction to celebrities. You have to ask for an autograph, ask for something, or find out something. Perhaps I would be more curious if it was an alien, I would really ask why is he here? A “successful” person is just a person. I have little interest in “success” or “money.” Maybe that’s why I have no questions for him. He is one of over 7 billion people. Would pass by.

Moderation in my humble opinion should be. Many apparently do not quite understand what freedom of speech is. Shouting “fire”, for example, in a crowded movie theater, is not" freedom of speech", but a crime.

And as noted above, let the community owners determine the rules themselves, and let them be in the environment that they have chosen. To do this, you can put your own instance or go to other ones.

If a person comes to the community to shit, attack others, send spam, etc. to make others worse, what kind of freedom is that? Freedom is linked to responsibility. And if he doesn’t understand it, makes people “badly”, he should be stopped. IMHO. (This is what I write about individuals who purposefully come to communities with the sole purpose of making things worse.)

Another conversation about the transparency of all this.
