YSK: While you're on Lemmy/Kbin/Fediverse, you're not "the product" but you're also not "the customer".

One of my favourite things about early days Reddit was it’s growing community of positivity. There was actual encouragement to be nice to each other and subreddits were built around celebrating stuff.

Negativity was downvoted into oblivion so you never saw that stuff on the All page and popular pages.

I’m seeing the same thing with Lemmy right now and hope it continues long into the future. The lack of profiteering should really help with this.

Risks of CPR

If you’re doing chest compressions to save someone who has stopped breathing there roughly a 10% chance they will survive but a 0% chance if you don’t So it’s often worth it anyway.

However it does keep the blood flowing and can prevent brain damage until a defibrillator is available which has a much higher chance of saving someone who has stopped breathing.

The heart is also protected by the lungs and breast plate.

Is lemmy growth coming to a halt?

What’s the rush? Rome wasn’t built in a day. If people are happy (enough) with it now it will grow with time and at the pace it should.

If things get too big too quickly then the cake will always collapse.

I like the amount of content here right now and things will diversify gradually over time.

Most people seem to forget their Reddit accounts were more than 8,9,10+ years old and a lot changed over that period.

Should i delete my reddit account?

This is only the beginning of Lemmy and it already has everything I got from Reddit.

We gave the admins and spez a chance to go back on the API changes with the protest but they arrogantly ignored the users views.

The only thing that will get CEOs like this to listen to their user base is a mass exodus. If several million people closed their account they would actually listen in the first place.

Power to the people.

Yes if the heart has flatlined completely then it won’t be started again by AED. But if they are in cardiac arrest then the heart rate is erratic and doesn’t function normally but can be returned to normal with a defibrillator.

Danger for next 100 years: Cambodian PM urges Ukraine not to use cluster munitions

Reply in thread

I see your point but There’s no clear answer here.

The article raises a valid point that Cambodia has extensive history from these weapons spilling over from the Vietnam war and causing civilian fatalities way after the war ended.

My point here is that just because a war crime(s) is committed one the Russian side, that doesn’t give free reign to the Ukraine side to do the same.
