They’re looking for a sustainable revenue stream because the Google subsidy is bound to dry up.

That might be a problem. What friends?

Retirement home LAN parties… That’s the dream

For a certain group of people, science and life have gotten too complicated, and they want to feel special with special knowledge (often coupled with a distorted god belief), so they fall in the conspiracy theory rabbit hole.

And flat earth is actually one of the more dangerous conspiracy theories too, according to this chart, as it is usually not the only conspiracy these people believe in.

He made someone look directly into his beam.

Walk The Pod is a daily-ish ramble chat on various topics. It only has a Patreon plug (https://walkthepod.com/)

Total Party Kill is a D&D actual play podcast that I have yet to hear an ad on. (https://www.theincomparable.com/tpk/)

Your Rivers Are Wrong is a podcast about storytelling. No ads here either. (https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/yraw-podcast)

But which came first, the gallus gallus domesticus or the ovum?

An average post on Mastodon/X/Bluesky/Threads is “this is what I encounter” or “this is what I believe”. Those kinds of posts don’t specifically ask for a response. You can respond to it, but it doesn’t require one.

That’s not how you communicate on Lemmy or Reddit.

That’s the difference.

Each platform has its own usages.

So to compare and say “well platform Y is more social, because there’s more interaction than on platform 2” is a bit weird.

You wouldn’t compare a letter with a message board on a town plaza either. Both can be used to communicate, but they’re not comparable to each other.

Or in another way:
On Mastodon or Nostr, when you post something only a small subsection of the userbase actually sees it (only those who follow you, those that follow any of the hashtags that you used, or those that check the full firehose).
On Lemmy the entire community you posted it to can see your post.
Obviously you can get more response on Lemmy! More people get to see it.

Why are you comparing apples to glass bowls?

Lemmy is a reddit clone, where you create communities.
Mastodon is a Twitter clone, where you share what you ate last night or what political meme you like today while sharing photos of moss and/or windows.
Nostr is its own thing.

You can’t really compare them with each other.

For what’s it worth, in my country (Netherlands), we don’t add fluoride to our tap water anymore since the early 70s. We just have it in our toothpaste (though you can also get fluoride free toothpaste for those who don’t want it).

Sure there’s still traces of fluoride in our water, as it appears in nature. But it’s not artificially added by our water companies.

Good point!

It goes into your memory. That’s why you can remember a song that you heard before.

I’d love to have a great seaside property in Montana. I’ll call up Aquaman Realtors ASAP!

Nah it shows real tenacity and grit with a real selftied tie, as a weevil doesn’t have opposable thumbs. So it takes real skill to tie the tie.

Hey? Where’s Perry?

If not fren, then why fren shaped?
