Fair enough. I tend to avoid apps and just use websites, so I don’t have that problem

What app are you using?

Maybe I got one too!

Such a hectically petty thing to do

2 down-voters don’t like federation?

I hope it continues as Lemmy gets bigger, but I’m kind of doubtful it won’t eventually decay in the same way as reddit. At least, I don’t see anything inherently different that would avoid that. Perhaps the federation and moderation structure might help, but that doesn’t seem certain yet…

Because that’s what’s mastodon groups are (e.g. the a.gup.pe). Mastodon doesn’t have actual native groups, so bots-as-groups is a work around.

Mastodon doesn’t fully federate with Lemmy, so while you can partially interact with Lemmy users and communities, you can’t meaningfully partake in conversations here.

I don’t think anyone is claiming technical superiority. And certainly not financial superiority.

But maybe some kind of resilience to the forces of destruction plaguing commercial social media.

Are there open bugs/feature requests about it?

You can type the hashtag in the URL on the web, and follow it from there.

E.g. https://pixelfed.social/i/web/hashtag/urbanSketching

I don’t think this is a maths problem. It’s a social problem. Monkey brain combined with internet communications is still not a solved problem.

I think part of this is figuring out the values you want to express in the format of any given service (Marshal McLuhan style). You need to figure out what it is you’re trying to build for, and then build systems and tools that optimise towards that. (Corporate social media is failing because it’s only optimised towards profit, and that approach eats itself in the long run).

I posted an issue for mastodon on this recently. I think Lemmy should be asking the same questions.

What was the picture?

Maybe we need a shitRedditBans community here to repost all the stuff that get banned for bad reasons there? Could be risky, I guess, but could be great with some good moderation.

Thanks for the help, it was easier this time 😅

It’s extremely useful, because it’s an index to all the known things that might be useful in a given situation. The point is not to assess all of them, the point is to not miss ones you’re unfamiliar with that may be important in your situation.

Yeah, that’s fair, for sure, to some degree. For instance large fractions of policing funding should be redirected into various social services, and military spending can get fuck off all together.

But also, wealthier people paying more than an equal share of tax is a good thing too, and provides lots of intangible benefits (e.g. better education systems and fewer people in extreme poverty and desperation leads to lower crime rates)

I think they probably appear in different types of situations, not all at once. And maybe different types of people/thinking are more prone to some than to others.

Really? The birthday problem is a super simple multiplication, you can do it on paper. The only thing you really need to understand is the inversion of probability (P(A) = 1 - P(not A)).

The Monty hall problem… I’ve understood it at times, but every time I come back to it I have to figure it out again, usually with help. That shit is unintuitive.

Less tax is better.

No saying that taxation as it currently exists it optimal, but any decent assessment of how to improve things requires a lot of nuance that is nearly never considered by most people.

The sky isn’t blue in many cultures. It’s been shown that words for blue only occur in a language after that culture has discovered a blue dye. And that limitation in available words also constrains how you see and think about the world.

This is covered in Guy Deutscher’s book The Unfolding of Language, which is an excellent read.

The software might be, but what makes a social network is the network effect, and the biggest public english friendica server has a few hundred users.

I had an account in like 2016, but it got deleted after a few months due to inactivity…
