So what changed with Lemmy then? A few months back when I joined the ecosystem many instances including LW were unreachable for many hours a day. Joining up to a new instance didn't make LW content appear (as they were offline).
The issues today feel largely the same as a user, though less frequent. Am I misunderstanding?
If the instance that hosts those communities goes down or struggles to stay afloat won't it struggle to federate its content outside its own network?
If I join another instance and lemmy.world is down, it's not like I can see the communities on lemmy.world.
Joining another instance as a user doesn't solve the problem that lemmy.world has bad uptime outside of the scope of reducing the load on LW itself
Yes exactly. Because anyone can spin up their own instance and communities on that instance, there are many duplicates of traditionally popular communities from other social sites. It used to be worse here, but it's still pretty bad around sports, politics, and many niche groups.
The OPs replies to this thread do not have humor and irony though. In a broad sense you are right, in this instance it's just sad imo.
My understanding of how xmpp has progressed is exactly what you think ActivityPub needs. Xmpp is still alive and still continuing to drive for further technological standards and classification.
Google essentially dropped xmpp b/c it was such a slow progressing standard that was focused entirely on the technological progress and that march towards standardization and specification.
Your insurance benefit offered after health milestones isn't 30-130% of your salary though
Running 30km (18.6 miles) in a month earns a bonus equivalent to 30% of their monthly salary. Moving up to 40km (24.8 miles) pushes that to 40%. Hitting 50km (31 miles) earns 100%, and the top tier of 100km (62 miles) is 130%
objectively be more secure in terms of data privacy
Please elaborate how email would be objectively more secure if you could block Gmail.
You can already block Gmail today from any other provider by putting a filter on incoming @gmail addresses. How does that make email more secure?
This thread isn't about kbin though. We don't need to clutch pearls about other services on fediverse when discussing what happens with Lemmy instances.
What do the context clues suggest?
Do you think they are talking about someone selling a Marxism package?
Fortifying foods is very important in Africa and lots of ongoing research and rollouts are happening there. Neat to see China doing it as well successfully, but they are not the only nation trying to solve nutrition and hunger
Agreed about corn fortification coming from China specifically being interesting.
Your last statement is a weird non sequitur.
How does a game having mtx mean they can't learn the lessons you think they should? Counter Strike is largely the same game it's always been and it has skins. Your own example refutes the statement you made.
People with less than 6figure income aren't spending as much as a new car on a backyard in ground pool. Where do you think they have the cash for that? What bank is going to loan them the funds? Hilarious you think it's possible in this economy.
