No, but I think he means that people hold back opposing ideas because of fear of hurting others. Then there are other group dynamics involved which suppress people expressing them selfies. I would have thought this wold be less of a problem in online meetings
Zoom has had a whiteboard since multiple years... But yeah, issuing tablets would make that feature more productive.
My feeling exactly. Smaller communities nurture much more healthier engagement than bigger ones
What about other tech companies like Microsoft or Google? Do they comply?
Is this not similar to the introduction of calculators in schools? We don't need to use our brains anymore to do the "mechanical calculation". Instead we can offload this task to the machine and use our brain for other tasks.
Basically an Adblocker for your brain... nice!
Best answer so far thank you!
What does this mean for admins regarding GDPR? Is lemmy still not GDPR complient? Are there options in place if users request their data?
An issue has already been raised: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1347
Are there plans to display the actual numer or is it just not possible becaus of the underlying protocol?
Lets see what the future brings. As long as the user count is low there isn't much of a problem, but if instances suddenly have millions of users, it will get expensive for admins to run the service. If too few people donate (what is usually the case), admins are forced to search for other ways to finance the infrastructure. The other point is AI, wheter you like it or not, if Lemmy is big enough, the content (conversations etc.) will be used to train LLMs. Also, the content will certainly be interesting for advertisers to learn user preferences. The difficulty comes with scale.
