A fellow cs mayor I see, no I apreciate the thoroughness. You are right I was trying to put it in laymans terms and might have been a little to cursory.

I gotta disagree on the pseudo randomness tho. At least in linux /dev/random generates its entropy pool by using device drivers. So there is no simple algorithm behind it where you can copy a seed. So you would have to to copy the system state and all external events happening (eg. the ethernet network traffic) to generate the same output.

Then be the racoon. Drive up the cost. Upload hour-long videos of white noise or pictures of John Oliver beeing sexy. I think I am going to create a couple of throwaway accounts just to show how unprofitable reddit can be ;)

Yeah I agree, tags like "gore/violence" and "sexually explicit" would be nice.

My favorite is probably hedonism bot. I just love the idea. I mean who build him? And why?

[–] flint5436 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah but it fits the quote better i think. Definitely suits your profile name ;)

Oh yeah, good idea! Before this strike I only heard of Mastodon. Didn't like it because it was so twitter-esque. I wasn't even aware that there are other federated networks which are similar to reddit... If all of my posts and comments said something like "user moved to lemmy.world" I'd spread the word that there are alternatives.
