  • Don’t kid yourself, you “giving” him a few views isn’t gonna make any difference, taking a principled stance on it is like peeing in the ocean.

    Just watch a few of his videos or listen to some of his podcasts, instead of letting other people give your their viewpoint on him just get your own viewpoint, do it without any bias either… pick an episode that you are interested in pick something you don’t agree with and pick something that could go either way. You might agree with some stuff and not other things but at least you determined that for yourself

    I used to listen to his podcast but lost interest plus I’d only listen to the stuff I had any interest in, science and technology stuff. He had some odd views/stuff I didn’t agree with but that’s living in reality you aren’t always gonna agree with people.






  • As others here have already mentioned the infrastructure costs alone are a huge problem, where I live we are currently just trying to electrify the corridor and it’s not even the entire system, once again the overall rail infrastructure is already there (it’s just electrification) yet this is still going to take a minimum of a decade and the minimum cost is going to be more than $11bn, technically this saves money as you don’t need to buy a new fleet of rolling stock just upgrade the old ones.

    So ya for a maglev you would need a completely different infrastructure and the rolling stock










  • No, think of an instance like some guy is hosting the visual part of the website on his computer named lemmy.world another guy hosts the same website but it’s on his computer named lemmy.ca their computers their rules, if they shut down their computer or you don’t like how they moderate then you sign up to someone else’s computer to view the website

    The subreddit would be on that guys individual computer you could make a subreddit called technology on lemmy.world but even though the guy with the lemmy.ca computer didn’t set up that subreddit you can still view it, it’s basically a portal to view everyone else’s Reddit

    If you use an app they have ways of viewing all of Lemmy, All shows you all the “subreddits across everyone’s computers, local would just be the subreddits created on that computer that you signed up to, then subscribed would be subreddits you subscribed to… technology on lemmy.world and just making one up but worldnews on lemmy.ca


  • Fuck extra careful, for me that was part of leaving Reddit way too much overzealousness when it came to moderation, plus Spez is a piece of shit

    Think of Lemmy as Reddit the site that you browse, when you sign up to an instance it’s like you are on their personal website that just shows you the webpage so lemmy.world shows you the same Lemmy website that lemmy.ca shows you the only differences are you go by their rules/moderation on that instance, there is more to it but I’m just giving a basic picture of it when it comes to moderation and rules

    You set up an account on lemmy.world read the sidebar, if the rules aren’t to your liking try another instance I like sh.itjust.works cuz they aren’t tight asses
