Do you believe Lemmy/Mastodon can become mainstream and fully replace their centralized counterparts?

Mastodon has a bigger hill to climb because twitter depends on known personalities. Joe nobody has never been focus of twitter. On reddit, nobody cares who the OP is. It's all about the content shared on the platform which by it's very nature is going to be from outside sources. Reddit eventually got its own original content, but at it's core it's a link aggregator with a nice commenting system.

"I was a human" - Mark Zuckerberg

This is one of those jokes that we all know is a joke but in like one more year the crazy people will see normals making this joke and not understand that we're joking about it. They'll put their standard conspiracy theory rhetoric on it of course. Just wait (it it hasn't already happened).

Marijuana addiction is real. Those struggling often face skepticism.

I feel like the pendulum of how safe or dangerous weed is has spun back in the opposite direction. At the end of the day weed is a drug. There's worse things out there's but it's not harmless. I know potheads who look at it like it's another green leafy vegetable that also cures cancer.

Edit: I just realized this is the science community. This article is not science. It's news or maybe an editorial. There's plenty of legit studies to post if we want to have this discussion.
