came for the beans. stayed for the nonsense.

havent needed more than one account regardless of number of instances. i kinda thought that was the point of federation. why so many?

i disagree that tor or tor-level anonymity is some magical requirement to defeat corporations.

you speak as if lemmy isnt a bunch of independent instances. maybe step outside the lemmy tree and take a look at the ap forest

i think we need to focus on ‘re-homing’ subreddits across the verse, but its incredibly group-specific. its difficult to communicate to reddit subs and convince users to move largely because of the banhammer reddit has brought down.

youre absolutely right in that there needs to be pressure for a community to exist successfully. users would want to separate the signal of a specific topic from more general forums.

• Adding servers is not going to help the signup issue, it will just make it worse.
• what marketing?? there is none for the fediverse.
• i know its tech heavy, but so was reddit at instantiation. There are several servers slowly attracting non technical peeps
• centralization is a problem, and I love the idea of spreading the content out, but shits expensive. funding is an ongoing issue across the fediverse.
• most of the modding (curation) failures ive seen come from the creation of a community without the requisite pressure. there just arent enough humans wanting that content or for it to be curated. someone jumped the gun on community creation.

do you really need whole server for specific communities?

this is just changing the subject avoiding the actual point.

if your creator needs no creator, then the universe needs no creator.

If it weren’t for God I wouldn’t be utilizing the word Christian.

this is just a lot of extra words to say you devoutly believe the words some guys wrote a thousand years ago, and edited massively since.

if humans didnt tell you to believe in a god, you wouldnt believe in a god.

And again if reality is self caused then it is it’s own Creator which makes it a conscious God.

this is mostly just nonsensical. a cyclical system need not be conscious as we can determine from the millions of systems we can examine around us.

other than wishful thinking, do you have literally anything to back up your extraordinary claim of this ‘god’?

if it were not for words written by human beings, you wouldnt even be utilizing the word ‘christian’ whereas atheism is the default state of all regardless of any mans words.

i would proffer that your faith is not in god. its in the words of humans who died a millennia ago combined with your (our) incredibly fallible brain chemistry in the form of wishful/fearful thinking.

youre thinking linearly. time is a circle. There is only one universe and it created itself. it was not created by another universe.

That’s your assumption.

if those tomes werent written down by men, you wouldnt believe in the religion you currently do.

I know God. I trust God.

this is just wishful thinking, which is a common, well studied human quality.

Then reality would be God since creation is a conscious action.

again, its ok for your god to ‘always have existed’, but nothing else? why do you get to pick and choose what has ‘always’ existed?

so its just creators all the way down?

it seems like youre saying so its ok to not know where the unimaginably complex OG creator came from, as you clearly dont… but its not ok to apply that same rational to the unimaginably complex universe?

again, the only difference between those 2 things are that one of them was a story created by man, and the other is the environment in which we find ourselves.

you dont even trust me, why would you trust the words some guys wrote in an ancient novel?

who created your creator again? i forget

haha theres only one “not believing”… your religion is one of many, many thousands which are little more than stories crafted by human beings. there is zero equivalency.

if all religions and knowledge of them suddenly disappeared tomorrow not one would be recreated ‘as is’, which is not the same for atheism.

were all atheists until some human convinces us to believe their stories.

raised mormon! but alas, youre correct. when i dug into the origins it fell apart as all religions do.

whats funny about mormons/scientology… those founders were documented fakers. they told people they were going to create religions for their own benefit, and then did so! fortunately it happened recently enough we have that documentation. personally, i dont see any real difference between them and all the rest.

reminds me of that line; 'out of 10,000 religions that man has created mine, this one, is real!"

ha, the only thing guaranteed about the stories of the bible are that they were written by human beings… and all the trappings that entails including grifters, liars and the objectively ignorant.

because of that, no story in the bible can be held as any kind of truth.

yep, firefox

i think if lemmy is going to include micro-blogging, it should be differentiated and obvious. mixing into existing communities is just going to increase user confusion.

no. the verse just isnt designed like that. you subscribe to remote content, you ingest remote content. its not laid out for you to discover the same content in remote sites.

the fediverse is not a simple ‘replicate all content everywhere’

its a bunch of servers that can subscribe to similar content from eachother as requested

when they get that content, they can do (display it) however they want.

find a remote instance that was potentially subscribed the community in which the post did live.

for example a community named ‘eyesuck’

if it was community was something like: deadinstance.com/c/eyesuck

you could theoretically go to lemmy.world/c/eyesuck@deadinstance.com to see those threads… again, assuming lemmy.world was subscribed to ‘eyesuck’

they could with an alt on an mbin, like https://moist.catsweat.com
