Well, I thought this guy was a piece of shit in the 2000s, I thought he was a piece of shit in the 2010s, I thought he was a piece of shit in 2020, but now that he's said something I agree with he's totally not a piece of shit now!
When people say getting onto mastodon is hard I assume they must mean setting up an instance because even if soapbox and rebased are easier to use, it's still just signing up for a website.
Good idea. I'm going to send Richard Nixon pictures to every woman on the fediverse and beyond!!! No woman on earth shall be free of my Dick pics!
Yeah, I know where you're coming from there. I'd like improved federation. I might look at kbin myself. Lemmy was tough to set up which is what put me on lotide.
That's true, since exploding-heads (while defederated from 99% of the lemmyverse) proves other people can host their own.
I think for now there's a "guilt by association" where since they're all like that everyone just assumes an instance running Lemmy is like that.

The nice thing about capitalism is that you get options. Digg became shitty so people moved to reddit. Reddit became shitty so people moved to other alternatives. Since people can privately own resources, we can even buy our own server hardware and start our own websites. Under central planning the fediverse could not exist.
I agree with you in this regard, but it goes beyond just software COC, and to the fact that most Lemmy instances are run as authoritarian hellscapes where thou shalt agree totally with the admins or thou shalt be exiled.
I was recently having a conversation on exploding-heads about this, because I dont want to be in a right wing echo chamber, but I also don't want to have to walk on eggshells in case my instance gets banned or defederate for the crime of having an opinion they don't like.

Just saw something about dentists and I think from the northern US.
I have some questions for people who have been to the dentist all over.
1. The chairs that are super adjustable, do they have those where you are?
2. When you go to the dentist, do you get a room to yourself?
3. What is the general cost of a cleaning?
The video I was watching just had flat beds, and there were several of the beds in a single room. By contrast, every dentist I've ever been to has a highly adjustable chair and one chair to a room.

I described exactly this scenario in the Graysonian Ethic in the chapter entitled "think ahead" as the scenario if you don't build anything. It was deeply terrifying to write, to edit, and later to narrate (though I had covid while making the audio book so it's all deepfake tech).
For real, separate from any other discussion, the microcosm that is england in that era is fascinating. One reason those forests needed to be established is that there were so many people cutting down forests for fuel with improper management of the land. Eventually they tried to start burning coal despite it being terrible because they needed heat even if it cost everyone their health. It's a remimder of the fragility of our environment and the reasons we're so reliant on the fossil fuel energy subsidy. We can't just go back thoughtlessly to how we lived pre fossil fuels, because we'll just burn down every forest. Otoh, there are clear present and future costs to continuing to burn fossil fuels.

Sometimes I still have the "it's exam day and you don't even know what this course is" dream occasionally

Most people don't think this, but I think it could actually be good for reddit. I have a feeling it has a massive bot problem, and restricting the API would mean a reduction in automated gaming of the system.
Remember when Twitter started doing things to counter bots, and there was that one guy who thought he had millions of followers and it turned out he had like 50?
