Hello thanks for visiting my profile.
For any picture posts I make with the [OC] tag, I provide a license for you to use my photo under the terms of CC-BY-SA-4.0. You may DM me for questions.
To recap, the challenge is to make posts or comments each fitting one of 10 specific criteria. Original challenge thread: https://lemmy.ca/post/70151876
Just want to ask, how is it going? How far have you progressed? Have you noticed any difference in post quality this month?
For those that haven’t started or heard about it, you can still make it by doing one a day!
Palantir “bought” the FDA back in April (/s), so your food is safe in their hands anyway.
This is the announcement of the Threadiverse Vibrancy Challenge!
The Challenge - From September 1 to 30, 2026, complete each one of the categories below with a unique post or comment:
I came up with this to encourage a greater variety of posts and comments to niche communities, with the support from people who usually just comment occasionally and lurk.
Participants will evaluate their own progress. If you get a score of 10/10, you will win a virtual Lemmy Gold Star, and hopefully everybody will win a noticeably more active Threadiverse in the smaller communities!
Remember to be respectful and follow rules of the instances and communities you post to.
Feel free to share this with your own instance. I will try to post a mid-challenge follow-up in 3 weeks and a concluding ceremony in October in !fediverse@lemmy.world. Good luck!
Here’s an idea for my fellow Lemmings, Piefedians and others, about a fun little challenge we could run in the month of September, to encourage a greater variety of posts across our communities with help from people who usually lurk or only occasionally comment. Each person would score themselves on an attempt to make 10 contributions across some defined categories in a month. What do you think?
Yes. I have had my owned changed as well.
In my encounters it’s more often that a counter argument to what I say is not wrong either. When a morsel of nuance can be introduced, we can understand each others’ argument without necessarily having anyone flip around their opinion to the opposite.
However I have tried sometimes to no avail, if there’s no progress after around 3 back-and-forths I end the conversation.
If you want some advice to increase your success in getting people to consider, try this: Start with the part you agree or share with the other person’s perspective. Try for a “Yes… and…” if possible, or “Yes… but…” if you can’t. After the and/but, that’s where you can go into the difference in opinion you have.
