    There have been a couple of posts somewhat recently asking what can be done to attract new users to the Fediverse. My answer was basically "make it something new people would want to see and stick around for". The crux of that was basically less news, less politics, less rage and more, well, anything else. So, I would like to propose a challenge to all: Let's try that. At least for a week. Sound good? Here's how you can participate: If you're one who posts a lot of news/politics...stop or at least slow down. Post literally anything else. Or try to post less rage-inducing news and try to dig up the good news that's happening. Sorry !upliftingnews@lemmy.world but it's the regular news communities that are flooding the zone with every single bad thing that happens anywhere in the world, so we may be stealing some of your content with this one. Think before posting something. Are you only posting it because you're mad about it and you think other people should be mad about it too? If so, maybe post something else. Is there already similar coverage of that? Chances are, we don't need more of it. If you're a lurker, post something. Add your voice. Refrain from upvoting / booting all the negativity. Yes, it may feel good to upvote for visibility because "people need to know this" but the end result is the feed turning into a list of things to rage about. If you see good/non-rage news, upvote that for visibility. I've seen many posts like that languish with a few tens of upvotes at most while the rage-inducing news gets hundreds of upvotes. Post what makes you happy rather than what you're angry about. Avoid dogpiling on people if they express a different opinion. I'm not saying feed the trolls or pat them on the head, just merely "disengage" or avoid the impulse to virtue dump on them and such. If you have a hobby, share it! There's plenty of hobby communities that would greatly benefit from additional contributors. If you're boring like me, well, there's !Dullsters@dullsters.net or !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world (the latter welcomes all as the name is just a reference to the original) Anything else you can think of to make the homepage/experience feel more welcoming and less like an angry mob (suggestions in the comments are more than welcome). I know not everyone will participate, and that's okay. Simply adding more positivity and posting/boosting less rage can have a positive effect on what shows up on /all which is what potential new users see by default. So, let's try this for a week and see what happens. Who knows? Maybe the established userbase will find it refreshing as well. Who's with me?

    PeerTube Co-op Initiative: Week 2 Update Two weeks ago, this was just an idea. Now, itโ€™s becoming an organization. Since launching the call for a PeerTube co-op, momentum has turned into structure. Over 35 people have expressed interest in becoming founding member-owners, and the Steering Committee has now been formalized. Weโ€™re in the orientation phase, preparing to define the co-opโ€™s mission, vision, and bylaws before incorporation in BC. Weโ€™re also working closely with GIA Consulting Co-op, who will join our first Steering Committee meeting to help orient the group and guide early governance discussions. Beyond that, conversations are expanding. Iโ€™ve been in touch with CoSocial.ca (a Canadian Mastodon co-op) about collaboration, BT Free (a Fediverse non-profit PeerTube host) about resource-sharing, and @damon@social.wedistribute.org from We Distribute about the initiative more broadly. Next step: Steering Committee orientation, followed by our first working session on Vision & Mission. If youโ€™d like to stay informed or get involved, DM me your email address and Iโ€™ll make sure youโ€™re included in future updates. #PeerTubeCoop #Cooperative #PeerTube #Fediverse #DigitalCommons

    @stefano It is very cloudy here and it looks like it will rain. The perfect day to be productive and for a little bit gaming afterwards
