The smarter version of this idea is the turn signal comes on automatically in the direction you turn.

I was curious if what I had been told had any reference online, a quick search did turn up this post which pretty much says the same:
I have this down the street from my house and I asked a lineman about it. He was saying they will never leave this on power lines, just on the telecom lines. The arborists work for the power company, because even thought the utility poles are jointly owned the power company has the highest risk so they are responsible for management.
They will always remove the wood from power lines because wood is somewhat conductive, especially when it still fresh because of the water content. Leaving it on a high voltage line can increase the potential for a short. They don’t bother to cut them completely off the telecom lines because there is no risk of shock but a big risk to line damage. If they damage the telecom line they have to pay high fees to the telecom company for repair and risk creating an outage. Also the lines are designed to bear a certain amount of weight, as engineer have accounted for natural burdens like trees, ice and animals.
Also the wood eventually rots after a few seasons and will eventually fall off on its own.
Luna is the Latin word for moon. It’s not the official name in English. It’s just called “Moon” in English, just like the sun is just called “Sun” despite being many other words in other languages.
Because there is just one of them it’s not really necessary to give it a unique name, but there are lots of options in Latin, Greek and other languages if you want to get fancy.
Yes, Kagi has a bunch of “Lenses” not just for Lemmy & Kbin but for all kinds of sources.
As of right now I’m not sure how you could SEO boost Lemmy. The federation makes it seem like a single post exists on many different sites.
With nearly a thousand Lemmy instances it’s as though someone cross posted to hundreds of websites which there would be no way to prioritize with the way current mainstream search engines work.
They just need to program a method for indexing Lemmy, and the rest of the ActivityPub compatible services, as a single entity. I am sure they will catch up eventually.
I assume you’re phrasing this as a question to challenge what I said regarding main stream search engines.
It is possible to get a random hit on Lemmy, as instances are crawled like any other webpage. Just like you might get a Mastadon hit every once in a while. However they will not rank very high and almost always be buried a few pages in, while a Reddit post will rank much higher for the same search.
It’s the natured of how federation works and search engines don’t account for it. You can increase your chances by including a specific instance name or the word Lemmy.
Kagi is a search engine that has built in Lemmy/Kbin search.
If you’re talking about mainstream search engines then no, they haven’t started supporting Fediverse content yet.
The smarter version of a dumb idea is still a dumb idea. No one is advocating seriously for any of this because of the obvious flaws.
