Yea if we keep going as we are is likely to get REAL cold up in Scandinavia in a few decades, somehow i doubt the population is gonna increase from that.

Barb: 2 come first, gooder!!

Alternatively N A Z I, but whichever works really.

Wonderful news, the less traffic fandom gets the better.

Fair enough, thanks.

Is 500 really big enough to get a proper spread though? Iirc my statistics course (which i don’t all that well tbf) you need a pretty significant sample still, would think a few thousand at least

100% agreed. It just reeks of mods thinking they own and know what’s best for the community, further exacerbated by comments like this one. They think they are the community, or at least are the reason it thrives.

I asked her about it, and she said that she won’t hijack the community from the existing team, but she’d be willing to point people to a community made alternative if it spins up. Not necessarily the decision i would have made, but i understand and respect it.

Idk man, have you done the math on whether the universe expands yourself? Because i haven’t. I simply believe that the scientists who have aren’t lying to me, same as I believe that Jupiter is in fact a giant sphere of gas, because that’s what I’ve been told.

No one can verify all of science, so we must all trust that those who came before us got things right (unless we discover that they didn’t ofc).

Therefore, i believe in science.

Bluesky is the same, i essentially only use the “latest from follows” tab, which is just posts from people you follow in chronological order. So much better than whatever garbage the big ones tried to feed me until i quit.

Just not in any other ways, like it going against essentially his entire character and the ring not allowing it, among others.

mythical? isn’t the venn diagram of those categories almost a clean circle?

Well, you seem to be more certain about this than i have been about anything, ever. Really no point to argue anything at that point.

“Listen to” and “obey” are two very different concepts, not sure where you got that I’m suggesting they do what he wants.

Source: my experiences. How would i possibly find sources for comments i read a year ago on an instance i have blocked? If you don’t believe me, that’s fine.

No, because I’m not. This was what i experienced when i first came to lemmy a bit over a year ago (i think? It was when reddit made their api paid). Things may have changed since, i wouldn’t know since i blocked the instance after i was sure of what was going on after like a month.

Terrible definition tbh and often misused

That’s fair, let’s just agree to disagree.

I mean, he is in control of the soon to be president of the US. Much as I hate it, other countries kinda do have to listen to him now.
