Somehow that avoids everything that actually makes TPOT TPOT to me (except the links to Rationalism and EA, but then you have to be aware of those).

The founder is Dutch, it’s hosted in Finland, and the hosting company is German

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

I have no idea why they decided to attack renewable energy

Huh? The comic is complaining nerds are wasting adulthood on speedrunning and drawing comics instead of doing research that improves the world (like renewable energy).

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)

It’s clearly making fun of her for going out of her way to never swear

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.

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.

Can I blame the tech for using massive amounts of electricity, making e.g. Ireland use more fossil fuels again?

They’re fine clothes, sir/ma’am

I believe it will default to your browser/system language

Oof, I feel like that’ll cause a lot of English comments to be marked with the speaker’s native language

I think it’s less applying their morals to the cat and more not wanting to support the meat industry. That said, yeah just don’t have a cat. I expect many vegans aren’t too big on the concept of pet ownership anyway.

Pointlessly snarky comments are one of the worst parts of Reddit and Lemmy and I fully support mods putting a stop to that. I guess the important part is to be transparent about it

Why are we using his first name

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

Honestly, could be an interesting idea for an instance

Hm seems like we’re at the point where I should stop bothering with All’s comment sections and just stick to my subscriptions like on Reddit

Surely at least back when women couldn’t vote and were expected to always obey their father/husband, there was patriarchy. Also ultra rich vs the rest, but also patriarchy.

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
