They are on the same "network", but that only means they use the same format to exchange messages. It does not mean that they work well together. The Lemmy UI is much better suited for posts with large discussion threads.

Basically you can treat them as separate for all intents and purposes.

People are fucking weird — cameras in bedrooms and across the house for kids/teenagers that aren’t babies, using tracking apps like Life360 to watch every minute of their teenager’s life, as if they weren’t unsurveilled teens doing their own mischevious shit, tapping into their search history, looking through their private conversations with friends, and probably a million more things.

Being a kid under a helicopter parent in this technological era must fucking suck.

Ever see the movie Elysium?

I think we could definitely be moving towards that kind of world, maybe without the literal rich person spaceship, but with AI defended compounds and AI controlling the population so their position in power could never be threatened again.

Yea the internet definitely has taken that trend to the extreme in recent years, especially with businesses which don’t make their own websites anymore and host their social media on platforms like Facebook; of course along with individual communities slowly being herded into the corporate mega forum that is Reddit. Definitely not healthy to have all our human interaction/information controlled by these entities especially as we move into the age of artificial intelligence.

Hey, go to https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy and scroll down until you see:

“TestFlight Builds

You can now download and run Memmy on your iOS device by using TestFlight. To join the beta group and start doom scrolling, click here and join the group. Please submit feedback either by…”

Then you click on the hyperlink in that paragraph and follow the directions from TestBuild from there.

Can someone TLDR the LGBT case? I heard something about legal business discrimination but that’s all I know.

Yea they shouldn’t be involved with legislating but our legislature and the people meant to represent us have devolved so much that the Supreme Court is basically the only functioning legislating body—and has been for a long time, atleast since Roe vs. Wade.

Our legislature is a failure, the Supreme Court as it stands wouldn't have much power or authority to make these legal changes if this country actually made laws.

Hate to break it to ya but that’s just your UI from whatever app you’re using; you definitely have a “karma” score / upvote score, currently at 47 comment upvotes total.

Yea it’s definitely not intrinsically bad and is a good way for 99% of communities to gauge a post’s quality.

Random comment arguments where feelings get hurt over downvoted does not mean the upvote/downvote system is bad.

I want to see high upvoted posts on my feed, not the 90% garbage of new posts based on Reddit experience.

I don’t think it’s the content — there’s already Reddit reposting bots available. It’s the lack of comments which makes Lemmy feel more lonely/less active. I wonder what the average non-bot comment count is for most posts on r/all

Yea ended up choosing a pretty popular one near me, hopefully they don’t shut down or something though. Thanks!

Yea I’m thinking of reposting some of my old posts from Reddit that did well to contribute

Yeah wefwef is a near perfect recreation (atleast for all the things I used to do personally), with only occasional freezes when scrolling.

It could probably use a name change to be more marketable though too.

Is there a general amount of people required though? I’m not sure what the numbers are right now but I imagine it can’t be super high even compared to big subreddits.

Man is the future just going to be eternal rent, Florida & Cuba under water, and everlasting haze from fires from across the world?

Especially considering another instance will just make a new one in order to popularize it instead, even if it’s not .world which is shaping up to be the “main” instance

Yeah exactly — Reddit hasn’t been profitable ever. Probably explains why they fired the person who actually was hired to do celebrity AMAs and leaving it to volunteers. Celebrity AMAs are probably one of the better ways to attract attention, but of course are pretty expensive.

Yea it really wouldn’t matter other than having religious dogma change or about what happens after death.

It’s more of an interesting thought experiment about the seemingly minuscule chances of life forming and us being/experiencing life.

Attack is planned but discovered - hope that it doesn’t happen as it would only mean escalation towards tactical nukes.

Yea there were already earlier reports of this so no surprise here. Imagine not only dying for a useless war, but your government covers up your death and countless others to avoid paying your family some scraps of useless rubles.
