Not if you're an EFL (English as foreign language) teacher and you needed a way to help your students understand adjective placement better: )

I like Mario Galaxy as an analogy. Facebook, Reddit, etc. aree all like big planets. The difference with the fediverse is that we can make all the small planets we want, and each of those planets has its own communities, and it's easy to hop around to different places.

But I know not everyone plays Mario Galaxy, so maybe it's like The Little Prince?

I really don't think it's complicated, people just don't have a clear analogy to work with because it's something new.

Thing is, they don't have to pay people for that. Some people just love having the contrarian "not everything meta does is bad" opinion because they think they're being clever

I know you meant "threat" but that was a nice one

Nah definitely not. I don't know about the owner but there was definitely too much "debate" on whether to defederate from exploding heads for my liking, felt a little too "free speech-y" so I set up on lemmy.world instead

we'll get there, it'll take time, but even in the 2 weeks that I've been bouncing around the fediverse, it's already gotten more interesting.

@talklittle@lemmyworld, your app was the only way I could ever enjoy Reddit. It's partially thanks to you that I now saw how important 3rd party apps were, and because of that I'm here now. RIF was the best, thanks for all your hard work!

The explanation that made the most sense to me is that yes, there is no such thing as race, it's genetically insignificant. However as a historical construct, we still have to take it into account in order to dismantle things like systemic racism.

Hey, I'm Tobor. Migrated from another instance and I like it here! My interests are all over the place, but at the moment: Zelda, drawing, poetry and plants. Nice to meet you all 🍃

Might be controversial but I don't believe that people who want to murder minorities deserve a voice. I feel like that's a pretty reasonable bar to set lol.

It's not controversial at all. The only people making "controversy" out of it are the ones who are mad they can't spew hate

They're trying to design it to hold attention now, but back in the day reddit was designed like shit but people still used it a ton. I agree with you, just think that corporate social media isn't always good at what they claim to do (retain eyeballs)
