I find it hard to see how this site can ever challenge the huge user base of Reddit and how they have a relatively active community for basically every topic in existence. But maybe things will snowball.

We're already seeing a fracturing between communist and non-communists on Lemmy.

Any kind of governance that fundamentally relies on how much wealth the participants have (like DAOs) is completely unworkable.

Right. And they believe anyone who challenges them is 'a troll' 'in bad faith' because they legit can't conceive why anyone doesn't have the same assumptions as they do.

Cycling is cool but that's small-fry compared to if we all went vegan (or even just vegetarian)...

OP have you ever been to Kent State? Or Cobbs Creek, Philadelphia? I hear they're lovely destinations.

Yep. I guess we'll see. I think with the rise of the bots the internet is going to become more and more unusable in general. But hey, maybe we should just all touch grass more anyway.

Stalin was of course a traitor to the revolution, however, there's a complete double standard with how commies are always existed to answer for every bad thing that ever associated with socialism, but you don't see anyone who self identifies as an American, liberal, etc etc ever be demanded to answer for slavery, genocide of the natives etc

It's just the one swan actually!

I agree with you, the relationship subs were/are a hell of 'heh a quick way to lose that 210 pounds, dump him sweaty!'. Like why can't we just give advice without everyone trying to be a wiseass.

Not gonna happen unless we get rid of the profit motive.

Liberals when talking about human rights: :) Liberals when talking about the enforcement of human rights: :(

Cost I guess. Also it would take loads of water to fill a deeper bathtub.

They are overloaded, try Lemmy.world

Leather is murder anyways.

To be honest most of the content on Tiktok and Youtube is fucking awful. But advertisers will pay a lot more for unskippable video ads than they will to Reddit.

What 'scientific research' is there that needs to be done on the Titanic in 2023? That's an obvious smokeshow.

The default site literally doesn't work on mobile anyway so it's not like it makes much difference.

More likely the US coerced them into doing so for aid

"Honduras’ and Taiwan’s bilateral relations date back to 1941, with both sides celebrating the 80th anniversary this year. Well into the 1980’s the diplomatic relationship between Tegucigalpa and Taipei was structured around Cold War geopolitics and a shared antipathy to communism. Both Taiwan and Honduras were long governed by right-wing military governments for much of this time but both began to liberalize in the 1980s and 1990s and began to form a more nuanced relationship, largely based on trade, development assistance for Honduras, and diplomatic support for Taiwan in international organizations"

Seems like Taiwan was giving development aid to them, but that can't compete with what the Chinese can offer nowadays.
