Everyone seen those spontaneously synchronizing metronomes? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T58lGKREubo I have a feeling this also explains part of trends such as who uses what software and fashion trends. Which is network effect in depth really. But spontaneous synchronization also explains where counter culture movements come from. Kinda like heart attacks, a different section of society pulsing in a different beat. Not sure if this info is useable for better adoption of fediverse tech? At very least it presents a problem for FedExpansism on Reddit. We convince 1 Redditor to join and then they leave Reddit. But we need them to stay on Reddit so we're not just 1 Firefly in the dark. 1 Firefly will only convince the extremist fireflies, but 1000 fireflies will be able to convince normies. Prob useable for protest organization, since it directly applied to firefly synchronization

Ain't anybody who is anyone heard of parker until big tech shut it down. If wolfballs and lemmygrad get cancelled by big tech, it'll nuke their instances, but would be fantastic for spreading awareness of lemmy software.

1st place wintermute 2nd; liwott 3rd; straight peach 4th; sexy peach 5th; michael 6th; me (Sorry about delay, been busy) Until proven otherwise, wintermute is the strongest chess player on the fediverse :p I learnt a lot of stuff about running an e-tournament. Biggest factor is needing a lot of substitutes for when people drop out. Which would make the results weird, because say wintermute drops out and I sub in for him, then i'd lose the finals. combah text, by david revoy the pepper and carrot author

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/476057 > The activity of the SocialHub community, like all other 'fediverse-substrate' bodies, has waned. From an active community to just a forum. Now a decision has to be made for the future of SocialHub. The options are stopping, be just a forum, or revitalize a vibrant community. The last option needs people willing and committed to do so. To step up for the sake of Fediverse Futures.

still going on

Wintermute (DeepNo0b) vs Liwott Liwott resigned at move 46

(Coopy pasta this onto reddit) I went to a bar last week and saw this total fediette. I immediately fedied a little in my pants and decided to put my fedi where my mouth is. I went up and sat my fediussy on the stool next to her, and asked her if I knew her. Nah, you're too pretty. I'd remember your face. Misskey to remember, funkwhake to forget. She was instantly feding out her panties at the mere thought of feding out with me. Then some anti-fedier jerkop came up and said "Are you fucking quoting the fediverse (2022) to pick up girls?" I fedipanicked. I said "I...ill follow you on diaspora?" and he started #fediblocking me. I fedied the hell out and fedied all over that guy and am now in federated prison for "fediMurder". Don't those fedidetectives know it was a fediverse reference? All in all, follow me on pixelfed?

I'm endlesscomfort, no budget to change the name to me me and winter are waiting for matches to finish the closer a contestant is to the trophy the more games they've won

I'm imaging it'll vaguely be like the peach battle https://lemmy.perthchat.org/post/72118 how to help. Ideas, cool pictures i could put together. Fan art. OCs. A story etc.

tournament note for self; winter won in 51 moves u/Endlesscomfort doesnt like the cold so he ran away and i subbed in for them

tournament note for self; liwott won in 21 moves

part of the fediverse chess tournament.

we can make this a tradition when people start on lemmy.ml/(twitter/fb/etc) and then make an announcement post with their account contributions and announce account retirement, and choosing a smaller instance to migrate to. Also making the choice whether to confirm their next identity or continue anonymously.

Can't find the news paper sub

People hate reading, so i'll copy paste the important points from my previous posts here. if you can help with graphics or advertising to get more people to join thatd be great! # Format Round robin. Each person is playing 2 games, finals might be 3 games # Rules: - Feel free to ~~gentleman~~ gentlecoin to whatever rules you want. But i'd recommend allow 1 undo each, especially if you're both inexperienced. If you're experienced and the person you're playing against is inexperienced, consider giving them more undos. - Best of 1 - in my experience lichess works best if you register, but not required though clearing your cookies will break the game iirc!!! https://lichess.org/ - Both people have to report who won here. Both of you also attempt to report how many moves it took for you to win, might be used for tie breaking. - Dont cheat ex by having a grandmaster computer play for you - Do at least 1 move a day # Gambling: - I'm down to bet an imaginary currency like [!lemmybucks@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmybucks) or cat girls or what have you. 1v1 me sib! --- Would be cool if you upload your match so we can see what happened!

feddit.de vs lemmy.ml I'm willing to bet whatever you want to bet. I'm putting it all on ahegao peach for this round This took long a.h. to make. Not gonna make promo art for every match, but if you want to help me, please do. **Retweet this image folks!** profile pictures in comments, cc-by credits; ``` vs https://opengameart.org/content/versus-vs-graphic-for-fighting-game retrowave https://opengameart.org/content/retrowave-vector-background lightning https://opengameart.org/content/lightning peach/muscle emoji - came with my computer ahgaeo face - https://www.pngitem.com/middle/hwJxibi_i-made-a-transparent-ahegao-face-put-it/ sunglasses - https://opengameart.org/content/thug-life-style-sunglasses Text - https://www.dafont.com/maximum-impact.font ``` i'm still hoping more ppl join so havent made the other brackets just yet, especially when you share the image! Peaches - arrange your match, ideally in the comments but where ever, let me know when you start the match!

# Format: Edit: round robin, not an even number that is easily divisible into a bracket. Each person is playing 2 games, finals might be 3 games # Rules: - Feel free to ~~gentleman~~ gentlecoin to whatever rules you want. But i'd recommend allow 1 undo each, especially if you're both inexperienced.

*Roses are red* *Violets are blue* *You're gonna sign up for this chess tournament* --- --- # How to play: 0. Most important! Share this event as widely as possible! Post on the fediverse and even on your Facebook, Reddit, tiktok etc 1. Sign up in the comments here. Just say your signing up. 2. I'll arrange brackets. Or if you particularly want to play someone, mention it in the comments and I'll pair you guys up 3. I'm open to suggestions, but lichess seems like the easiest way to set up matches, but really, if you can get your opponent to agree to use like Minetest chess, go for it! 4. If someone off the fediverse wants to play, have them contact me somehow. You could even relay their messages to me. # prizes: - once [the fedizens enquirer news paper](https://lemmy.ca/c/thefedizenenquirer) is up and running, you'll be featured there. - myself, [@sexy_peach@feddit.de](https://feddit.de/u/sexy_peach), Michael from [Perthchat](https://matrix.to/#/#general:perthchat.org) and/or [@Helix@feddit.de](https://feddit.de/u/Helix) will simp for you - paid tournament will follow later on, if enough interest --- Has this ever been attempted before?
