Lemmy.world down, probably following the upgrade. A reminder to move to smaller instances for a better experience (files.catbox.moe)

I bet you can find the cure for cancer.

If the cure to cancer were found, like a virus to prevent deaths from COVID-19, sites like Twitter and Lemmy would spread lies and disinformation and tell people to avoid authentic facts and science.

Is it the pro-China stance of the developers that gives you blind faith in how their SQL TRIGGER code works or Rust logic?

Sorry to tell you this,

I doubt your sincerity and think this is a social tactic you use, lies. Insincerity.

It is not healthy for you

The lies coming out of Elon Musk's Twitter and the lies from Cambridge Analtica on Facebook make me ill. The constant people I meet in the USA who praise oil consumption and deny climate change science makes me sick. I didn't stubble into Lemmy because I was healthy with crowds of people who flock to anything in "meme format" and praise authoritarian politicians and businessmen.

Based on how humanity behaved during the pandemic, with all the denial of a virus that a microscope can deonstate as fact, I don't think it is possible to be healthy unless you choose to self-deceive and believe the memes and advertisements.

Maybe, maybe not. It's up to the reader to differentiate between facts and tales. I don't see how that is relevant.

No, I believe the project is in need of a lot of polish. However, the way you act, makes me hope the polish does not come from you.

Okay.

The lies coming out of Elon Musk’s Twitter and the lies from Cambridge Analtica on Facebook make me ill. The constant people I meet in the USA who praise oil consumption and deny climate change science makes me sick.

Have you considered turning off your computer, and looking out the window? Looks like the problems you are facing can be solved rather easily. There is neither Twitter nor Facebook out the window.

Perhaps you do not see it is relevant, or that you are being insincere on the topic

Humanity track record is to avoid truth and favor mythology. I can suggest Carl Sagan's 1995 book on the subject.

Yha, all the people around me are staring into their Smartphones and attacking humanism on social media like you are.

You apparently can not see them with their Smartphone while driving and doing practically anything.

You quoted it in your reply, but you obviously ignored this: "The constant people I meet in the USA who praise oil consumption and deny climate change science makes me sick."

Meet, in person, IRL, "outside the window" as you call it. You clearly do not care for reality of humanity and what is actually happening because of media like Twitter, Reddit, Lemmy.
