Yes. I did try Mastodon during the Twitter fiasco. But the whole fediverse concept seems a little more suited for specific forums like Reddit

And imgur charges Apollo's dev $166 for the same amount of load reddit asked $20m for

Poe's law mate. Without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.

That's what she said!

If the app wasn’t so trashy people would be happy to pay them money directly. Nearly everyone on Apollo pays to use it

I don’t think its a bad thing tbh as long as it is in the fediverse. Think of it as email. Google, Microsoft and many others are in the game but email stays the same

This comment is well researched and helpful! Thank you

Consider two 5'6" 65kg athletes, one man and one woman, are you saying that the man doesn't have an advantage?

I used to believe the same until I saw the recent Women's Premier League in Cricket. They had to reduce the size of field and the weight of ball. Even with that, the fastest bowl in the tournament was 130kmph while that speed is considered a "slower ball" in men's cricket.

Now some of these female cricketers earm more than any Pakistani male cricketers. Which is fair, bigger market, bigger payout. But female cricketers don't stand a chance against the male cricketers

I only pointed out the difference between the fastest. There’s plenty of shorter, leaner bowlers in men’s cricket who bowl faster than Perry. Kemar Roach for instance is in the same height and weight category as Perry and regularly bowls 150kph

Tbf it’s expected. You know women going below 16-18% body fat is completely unhealthy while top male athletes are perfectly healthy at 6% or so

Edit: wtf mate? Momentum is not mass of propeller times velocity. By your logic a sumo wrestler would easily be the fastest cricket bowler!

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of cell. I don’t think this should have been that hard to find on your own, but I can’t judge your circumstances. (You see, I can respond to things you did not ask as well!)

How is your comment a response to my question? I was replying to your comment of

abolish[ing] gender based separation altogether and replac[ing] it with something more like weight categories.

which practically means stopping women from participating in sports

Unrelated. But I didn’t know this. You don’t have an account in lemmy.world yet you could comment here? I’ve read up about the whole decentralised model. But how do I comment without logging in?

Yes. This reminds me of my early days in reddit! I was so confused on their Android app and eventually found an app called Slide and yet it took me a week or so to figure out what I was doing there. Then some months to actually start contributing

It is doing very well indeed! Why kill it?!

• his mass is 33% more and the ball goes 23% faster? Momentum is mass x velocity iirc.

Do you understand why this statement is wrong?

You’re mixing the mass of the person throwing the ball with the mass of the ball.

• his mass is 33% more

This would matter if he was flying himself at the batsman.

Correct. The bowler is contributing to the velocity part of the equation

Yes dear friend, momentum is indeed mass x velocity. But we’re not talking about the speed at which the bowler runs. It’s the speed at which the bowl is propelled.

(to be clear, the lower mass of cricket ball in women’s cricket is a factor in reducing momentum. But we’re talking purely speed here)

Some women cricketers (outside Pakistan) earn more than Pakistani male cricketers already. And I must say, I’m a huge supporter. Unlike the WNBA in the US, women’s cricket is way more popular in rest of the world.

It’s a biological factor that women, generally, aren’t as physically strong as men and as a supporter of female athletes, abolishing gender boundaries is practically killing women’s sports. Here’s some more data you could’ve found out by googling: https://boysvswomen.com/#/

Hi I'd like to chat. I'm open to evidence that will change my mind

I think WikiPedia used to do IP bans. I rarely contribute to WikiPedia and never on controversial topics. Still I randomly receive a mail saying I've been banned for doing some shady stuff

I get you. But I've seen far too many users doing exactly this (starting their own mail server) in my programming circles. It doesn't fare well tbh.

So am I supposed to be not making accounts in all the sites I like?

I’m trying to browse on a beta iOS app (called Mlem) and the landing page is a list of all the accounts I’ve created.
