Both are atheism. First is weak/negative, last is strong/positive. The first merely rejects the theist's claim, while the last makes a claim on their own.
I know that is bs because I haven’t been there in days and I probably added 100 visits a day to their stats. So they’re at least a couple hundred shy.
The article mentions 55.31 million daily visits (average). You decreased their stats by 0.00018%. Even if all new active lemmy users had your level of activity, the other site would still return to normal. There are just so many other users.
I know that I am not back. And I won’t be back, and I think a lot of people are staying away as well. That the traffic is now normal seems a bit sketchy.
I'm afraid that's just bubble bias. Most people just don't care or haven't found a viable alternative yet. These +43k active users on Lemmy are huge for Lemmy, but not even a scratch for the other site.
After the initial exodus at the start of this month, you could see more and more comments demanding returning to business as usual.
Utopia (from Ουτοπία) is an impossible Vision of the future, while Evtopia (from Ευτοπία) is the best possible Vision.
Interesting. I never heard of Evtopia, and I also did not understand Utopia as necessarily impossible. Could be possible or impossible, depends on context.
I also don't think being unreachable is necessarily a bad thing. Consider an 'Ideal'. Although some ideals may never be fully actualized, they are seen as something good and worth pursuing nevertheless.
But mostly, I don't think the opinions of proponents or opponents of this idea are swayed by wether we call it Utopia or Evtopia. If anything, using the more common term makes it more relatable.
You’d think if it was all basic biology we would just have a unique gender for every one wouldn’t you?
Nothing in biology is exactly identical between individuums. A common eye color is brown, although there are as many shades of brown as there are people.
It is just practical and how language, or even perception works, that we tend to categorize similarities, and strongly favor common occurrances over outliers.
the doctor is describing your phenotypic sex based on observable characteristics.
Your doctor is assigning you a gender.
Maybe you two aren't even disagreeing?
I'd say the doctor tries to assign the new born into male or female according to biological sex, and gender is inferred from that.
He calls you either a boy or a girl based on your genital configuration
Yes, that's what I mean. A two-step process. First, biological expression is assessed. Next, based on #1, social gender is inferred.
Basically, do you identify as your birth gender (not sex, gender and sex are different)?
The additional explanation actually confused me. Let's compare the two sentences:
A) Basically, do you identify as your birth gender?
B) Basically, do you identify as your birth sex?
I assume biological sex can be identified by looking at your body as a new born baby, and gender is usually inferred accordingly. So I would assume new borns are being assigned a gender which mathes their biology, although they probably don't have any opinions themselves on the topic.
Anyways, what's the difference between A and B? I feel you felt it was important to point it out, and I just can't see any.
If you buy local, and go with the seasons, I'd argue it is rather hard to not have all three (cheap, delicious, healthy) at the same time.
You won't have to rely on produce which is optimized for long transports but can tap into fresh, original flavors. Ripe fruits and vegetables from the fields, harvested just this morning. And because they all ripen now, quality maximizes when prize minimizes.
They are, I get results. My worry is they are not aggregated/unified. Some lemmy instances don't have 'lemmy' in their name, and I'm not sure if they would show up in a search "X + lemmy".
Ok, but you can only do that if they already joined the fediverse. I replied to "the powers that be must never be allowed to join the fediverse". It's also questionable if everyone will block them.
Sehr guter Beitrag, ja! Ich sehe eigentlich keine Chance für den Fall, dass das Fediverse weiter wächst?
Meta kann uns auf mehreren Ebenen durcheinanderwirbeln, und alle sind per Design weit offen dafür.
Sie können mehr Content, mehr User, mehr Aktivität haben, was sie für große Teile des bisherigen Fediverse unwiderstehlich attraktiv macht.
Sie können Features implementieren, die sich die Leute wünschen. Eine gut implementierte Suchfunktion, Community Grouping, einen einfachen Account Transfer, Search Engine Lookup, KI-gestützte Mod-Tools.
Ist doch letztlich nur eine Frage von: Wie interessant ist das Fediverse für Meta, und wie interessant macht sich Meta wiederum für das Fediverse?
Klar wird es eine Gruppe von Instanzen oder Leuten geben, die sich durch nichts bezirzen lassen, aber vermutlich wird es für die meisten Leute ab irgend einem Punkt vernünftiger erscheinen, zumindest teilweise zu folgen.
I'm worried this will not be enough in the long run.
Imagine Meta provides more original content, a higher user base, more engagement, more activity. That alone would make it interesting for many other users, further increasing their relative attractivity.
Additionally, they could invest in the codebase, and implement some of the community's dream features, some nice mod tools, search engine discoverability and whatnot. On a fork which lives on their instances, of course. Services which work if you federate with them.
They have the resources to rase the stakes higher and higher. The incentives are objective, real, advantages for users, communitites, mods and admins. Isn't it only a question of time / stake height until significant parts of the fediverse choose to cooperate for various reasons?
the powers that be must never be allowed to join the fediverse
How are they not allowed? How is it checked, how prevented?
As I see it, they can freely use the code, freely set up instances, freely create user accounts on their own or other instances, with 'independent' users, employees or bots.
The only thing stopping them is the current fediverse's insignificance. We're just not tasty enough, yet. But if we become, how could we disallow them from joining?

Yes: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1510
Thanks for linking! It is 'closed as completed', but I still get it every time?
The title made me think it could not fly. It can fly!
The biggest issue from my point of view: They can only transport one (1) passenger at a time.
Even with 100% renewable energy, that is a wasteful and ineficcient way to move people.

It's the first and only lemmy app working on my old 2015 android phone.
Great to have backwards compatible options. I also like it :)

Yes, sorry for being unclear. I meant the bad 'guy' Meta. Maybe continuing with 'entity' would have been better:
I tend to agree. Still quite new to the topic.

Was lässt sich dagegen effektiv unternehmen?

How could that be done? Anyone with the resources can host an instance, and there are plenty of instances with a low entry bar.
If the fediverse grows enough, we can be sure some entities will join not because they share our values, but because they see our value.
I don't see how we could prevent that or ensure only good guys enter. The fediverse is open by design.
How are they not allowed? How is it checked, how prevented?
As I see it, they can freely use the code, freely set up instances, freely create user accounts on their own or other instances, with 'independent' users, employees or bots.
