Looks like a role for Christian Bale.

Does anyone know if Voyager supports instance blocking?

While it doesn’t deal with the tensions between the KPD and fascists, I would consider, “They Thought They Were Free” to be mandatory reading on the rise of fascism in Germany.

Really depends what you mean by unbiased. Almost all history is interpretive.

Portland number, not too surprising.

That killed my childhood cat. Would be awesome for future kids to not experience what I did.

Sorry I didn’t mean to imply your specific example was a bot, rather my experience when I find a community with high post rates and low engagements it tends to be a bot.

I would prefer we didn’t give up on federation, but until the tools are in place to mechanically support it, I don’t see it as strictly beneficial.

A post a day in a community is a bot, more often than not, and trying to create discussion on bot posts often just falls on deaf ears.

I don’t see a reason to push for fragmentation at this time, but rather organically support active communities wherever they’re found.

I’d love for there to be a mechanical solution to fragmentation, so you don’t see so many duplicate posts in your feed and all those individual discussions are instead in one place.

I think until there’s some tool or system that helps collate all the information out here, fragmentation is detrimental to growth.

If the same story is posted in multiple communities, I’m only posting the first one I come across. Sometimes that becomes the next big discussion and other times it’s lost and another community takes over.

I’m not going to copy and paste the same comment with every mirrored post.

So sometimes commenting feels like a waste of time.

Centralizing helps ensure that there’s vibrant, consistent discussion which is what Lemmy should be about.

In my mind, the fix is that all posts to the same link should just collect the discussion all in one place, regardless of which community spawned it.

There may be a ton of good reasons that isn’t happening, but until there’s some sort of fix, centralization ensures you find a discussion and can contribute meaningfully.

Honestly, I’m not a mycologist, so someone with more expertise feel free to correct me, but I’m pretty sure that’s BS.

In all seriousness, how do you survive in an economy like that?

I don’t get the Kirby lore reference at all. Is it actually that deep?

John Brown wears a hangman’s noose for a necktie up in Heaven. I asked him about it, and he said, “Where’s yours? Where’s yours?”

His eyes were like glowing coins.

I don’t think humanity survives if everyone just has one child.

I don’t think it’s terribly surprising that there are diminishing returns on parenting time and resources. The question is whether it’s linear progression or if there’s a drop off past a certain point.

I would be very curious if there’s an optional number of children revealed by this research.

Edit: Very curious why I’m being down voted on this. I’m not espousing everyone have a lot of kids. I’m just trying to reckon with the tension between optimal parenting and the ongoing existence of the human race.

I see two options:

1. That’s just painted on, right? Right!?
2. There used to be a fire escape there, now it’s just a life escape.

I’m genuinely confused how this is even possible.
