The first new antibiotic in 60 years? Bullshit. What, does the author never read? A group at my local university published on a new class of antibiotics within the last 5 years and they are far from the only ones to do so in the world.

This is just “look, AI is shiny and will fix everything,” while ignoring reality…again.

Still won’t make it funny.

How about 14 seconds?

Intellectual property laws are theft of human potential. Instead of focusing on actual progress, everyone is focused on how to get around patents. Incentivize innovation, not the opposite.

Also Don’t look up how the US military was able to influence that movie! It’s uselessly vague or redacted!

I think you misunderstood their comment? They’re saying the high number of active users coming from Reddit was too much for the computers to handle at the time, not that the Redditors themselves were scaring people away. The speed and downtime of the .ml instance at the time is what they are saying drove people to .world.

I remember world was a bit better at the time, but both instances were frequently struggling with performance after the third-party app ban.

If you don’t want to be called Nazis, then stop putting up with all the fascists in your instance. Pretending the problem doesn’t exist is definitely the mature stance to take when someone points out that your instance is harboring fascists.

The barrier of an application is enough to scare off most non-serious users. I used to favor open registration, but after making an account and participating on an instance with open registration vs closed, I found the closed registration shuts down a lot of bad actors and makes the instance a more pleasant community.

I’m not even advocating for rejecting any of the applications, just having questions to answer before joining seems to significantly cut down on the trolls.

No disadvantages? Idk, there is the whole disadvantage of .world being defederated from lemmygrad. :)

Why would you leave a passive-aggressive comment about hexbear when the user made a legitimate point about the influx of redditors overloading .ml servers during the exodus?

What a weird comment all around.

I’ll definitely keep FidelCatstro in my back pocket though.

I completely understand blocking or ignoring those who engage you in bad faith, but when someone disagrees with you and also engages in a discussion in good faith, you are merely silencing voices of dissent by blocking them.

How is that approach not creating an echo chamber? It seems hypocritical to label spaces that welcome good faith discourse “echo chambers” while creating your own.

I think you forgot to close your eyes and cover your ears before commenting.

“Nobody is winning.”

“Ukraine is winning, but nobody is winning.”

The people straying from the “echo chamber” aren’t the ones blocking others for dissent. Sounds like you’re projecting.

“Do your fucking dishes,” is my guess.

But those trade relationships are definitely equitable these days, right?

…right??

Sure, it was for spices, definitely not for money.

It was a different time. We don’t do that anymore!

I love you and how you take the time to call out all of these comments.

Liberalism
