Yeah, it also doesn't help that in SK, men are conscripted to the military for years and enter the workforce with somewhat of a disadvantage.

"Misogyny" is half the story.

What is this gaslighting you're trying to pull here? You're really going to pretend that Apple fanboys don't exist and instead start criticising some sort of perceived toxicity from a "hate cult" against Apple? That's before you get into some bizarre Google strawman. The reality is that these Apple fanboys with values antithetical to software freedom exist, and want walled gardens everywhere.

And what do you know about Nash Equilibriums?

I saw a Youtube video a while ago on how supermarket chains create customer profiles for each credit card. That way, they can get a better understanding of purchasing habits and how consumers react to price changes. Makes finding the most profitable price easy, you see.

Yeah. I usually go to the Playstore to buy out all the In-App purchases and support development, but this is really discouraging.

I was posting on other instances (lemmy.world) and checked their modlog to make sure I'm not banned or defederated. Know most people here probably just follow Monero news, so it's fine if it's better to for me to just make an account on a larger instance.

Anyways, it's been a while since I've seen a meta discussion. How have you all been this year, and what do you all think of the fediverse from these past six months?

It makes them too much money. When they're charging tens of thousands for a battery replacement, and the only way to fix the car without getting banned from the charging network is to go to the dealership... this will never get fixed.

Skeptical. As of August 2023, there are scientists still struggling with simulating C. Elegans- a single celled organism.

I heard violentmonkey was an opensource alternative to that.

Most people access the Fediverse through one of the large instances: lemmy.world, kbin, or beehaw. New or small instances of Lemmy have no content by default, and can most easily get content by linking to larger Lemmy instances. This is done manually one "Community" at a time (I spent 15 minutes doing this yesterday). Meanwhile, on larger instances, content naturally aggregates as a result of the sheer number of users. Because people generally want a user experience similar to Reddit, I think it's inevitable that most user activity will be concentrated in one or two instances. It is probable that these instances follow in the footsteps of Reddit- the cycle repeats.

I actually think the Fediverse is in the beginning the process of fragmenting into siloed smaller, centralized instances. Beehaw, which is on the list of top instances, just blacklisted everyone from lemmy.world. Each of the three largest instances now are working to be a standalone replacement for Reddit and are in direct competition with each other. It is possible that this fragmentation and instability? of Lemmy instances will kill the viability of Federated Reddit altogether, but hopefully not.

These are my main takeaways from my three days on the Fediverse. I will stick around to see if the Fediverse can sustain itself after the end of the Reddit blackouts.

Yo, sup! I have some quick questions about Federation and Lemmy.

  1. How are the comments that I make on other instances stored? Are they stored on the monero.town instance, and only accessible to other instances when they connect to monero.town?

  2. If so, does that mean that the rules for this instance apply across all the lemmy instances I interact with (because all my comments end up getting hosted on this instance)?
