You must be a blast to play with in a campaign, better than my one friend who makes joke characters based off Pepsi and McDonald’s…

Nice work
From my limited experience usually it’s because they implode from internal drama. To be human is to be lazy, and most people can’t get past that.
You should definitely report the PPP loan fraud at the least
Uhhhh, this seems like a food safety violation…
There can only be so many people with impressive achievements in a world of 8 billion people that deserves to be recorded in the history books. And then you should think about the millions and millions of people lost to history and prehistory (pre writing) period that have left this world with barely a trace of even the city that they and thousands of their community occupied. So many people completely and totally lost to time.
When I think about it like that, I realize it’s my ego making me feel bad for not “accomplishing” something when there’s so few of us who get to alter the thread of civilization.
Right?? One of the more baffling outcomes of the protest. I think mindless scrollers are desperate for dopamine and will upvote literally any garbage at this point.
My only takeaway from that sub is to continue to never ever use food delivery apps, you’re making your delivery people miserable by using them.
At some point people will begin to assign identities to instances and imagine (rightly or wrongly) that being on an instance says something about a person.
*Cough
Does it really spread out the load? Every instance will want to connect to the larger instances and replicate their data, or the larger instances could hug the smaller ones to death if a popular post gets noticed. I am spitballing, but from what I understand more instances means inducing larger and larger loads on everyone.
I suspect/hope most of reddits infra costs mostly come from massive processes they run to consume and correlate user data into sellable data, or the massive moderator tools using full-text search they probably use to hunt down undesirables.
I feel like just serving up text based information shouldn’t be that intensive if done right. But I definitely don’t have the experience to say so for a program handling millions of requests.
If Lemmy gets big enough, google will work on any customized scraping of the fediverse they need to add in, because it’ll be in their best interest. They might already be able to since Lemmy isn’t private for non-logged in users.
Use Tor
Then use Tor if you’re truly scared
Good luck building a performant version.
Although I’ve always wondered why someone hasn’t built a Tor version of Lemmy/mastodon yet… imagining no home instance control, you’re just donating hosting to a truly decentralized website that nobody controls but anyone can post to. It would be the ultimate dissent tool.
That’s how it’s always going to work especially politically, and that’s not necessarily a negative in a decentralized model like Lemmy.
I think those users who live under oppressive governments should be used to using tools like Tor and accounts with a proton email to interact on the internet.
I keep considering going back to college for hard sciences, you give me hope.
