ActivePub every platform has at least one major Intelligence Agency monitor who has to make a weekly report of ongoing. Do people really think 9/11 didn't happen on message boards? A lot of secrets for corporate espionage and government leaks happen on message boards. There are worst things to waste staff time on.

"Lemmy" as an app has to have a file in case it comes up on some security matter - it has to have a definition on a Wiki somewhere!

All the Unity game engine self-destruction choices got to them ;)

It’s already like that here, friend.

Lemmy didn't take off until well into May 2023, despite being online and open source for over 4 years. The quantity of posts, communities, comments was very small for 4 years online.

Then everyone flocked out of hate and anger of an API money matter with Reddit.Then crowds got hate-filled and angry when Threads was launched by Meta/Instagram/Facebook on July 5. And crowds became hate-filled and angry over Elon Musk rename of Twitter to X on July 23.

Outside big growth in memes and shitposts, there haven't been big numbers of people flocking here out of organic goodness on organized topics. It has largely been a HiveMind of hate as a motivation to come here since May.

Some good seeds have been planted since May, but the atmosphere of hate motivates change is pretty much Mob Mentality / reactionary.

When cross-posted >= 2, should go to a dedicated page like Reddit has had for a very long time... and allow easy viewing of who posted, date, number of comments, date of last comment, votes, etc.

my first impression is it's a play on unity, that they are already going, but he is saying start whenever he wants to? Still, I can't really tell if they are in motion already... and he is at the front. So I'm confused.

EDIT: 5 months ago on Reddit, someone gave a better answer when I went looking on Google Search: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheFarSide/comments/124clhy/can_anyone_explain_this_gary_larson_cartoon/

looked good, they seem on a path of great progress this week

“All religions are true but none are literal.”

A Russian claims on Facebook that he got a Twitter direct message in 2012 from Trump that started the whole Russia + Cambridge Analytica combo: https://washingtonmonthly.com/2017/11/24/a-trumprussia-confession-in-plain-sight/

In the real world, communities are independent entities, free to choose where and how they hang out. No one tells them what to do or where to go.

I guess the people who run Reddit really think none of their audience was educated by say... Snoopy.... or seen a "no skateboarding" sign in their life. You can just hang out anywhere IRL!

That the human brain hardware has not evolved in the past 2000 years, and classical religions are by far not the only means to induce entire populations (spanning multiple nations and continents) into believing false things. Modern advertising symbolism is often the new religion that motivates the mind, and people do not demonstrate nearly enough self-awareness of the side-effects of peer pressure induced by modern marketing/advertising. We are in an increasing race to the bottom of the flaws of the human brain that was never prepared for recording and unlimited playback of images, sounds, motion video, etc. All of humanity is under threat, and Carl Sagan's 1995 book calls this out, among others, such as Neil Postman's 1985 book Amusing Ourselves to Death. Trickle Down Economics may be a bullshit deception, but Trickle Down Memes and Symbols are very real, and we are entering another Dark Ages, this time planet-wide.

Major performance problems have been fixed in Lemmy in the past 48 hours, with more pending in the next 24. The latest code on GitHub is far better than 0.17.4/0.18.0 in terms of hammering the server.
