Eh, trillion is a constant

Seems like this new one is only for the US though, so it’s not a complete replacement

The lemmy.world thread reminds me of a similar “racism on the fediverse” thread, and the occasional thread about misogyny (dismissive, uninterested and/or personally offended)

To be fair, mathematics also uses single-character variable names

I was going to say toki pona is not quite brainfuck but at least somewhere in that direction, with its tiny vocab

Shouldn’t votes be about how good it fits the community, instead of how good it fits All? …maybe those two types of votes should be counted separately, All votes for how high it should rank on All and subscriber votes for everywhere else.

they’re perfect Libertarians

As opposed to the people who think it’s their God-given right to say whatever they want, wherever they want?

I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t have time to read every rule for every community that pops up when I’m in view all

This is exactly what made subreddits turn into an indistinguishable mush once they start reaching the front page. A way to not have your community show up in All would be nice, or to make posts read-only unless you’re subscribed.

Ah good, they found a woman to blame

Lemmy’s markdown does actually have footnotes!^[1]

Mastodon also has the benefit that other platforms try their best to federate with it

Honestly, could be an interesting idea for an instance

Policing just tone is how you get very polite and nicely-worded conversations about exterminating untermenschen “human biodiversity”

What I think would be cool is following hashtags from Lemmy, or a.gup.pe groups

Is Tumblr still planning on joining? That would be huge

The culture’s a bit too reddit-like for my taste, but it’s alright and some communities are better about it

Is sappho.social a brand new instance too?

2 is pretty big. Oh, or π! That’s probably the biggest number I’ve seen this month.

I don’t even see footnotes in the documentation^[1], but they can be pretty useful. It’s ^[text], in case others are curious.

It’s interesting to see the consequences of a two-party system so clearly here. Only focusing on the voters in the middle because the others are secure, it’s exactly what the maths predict.
