- Comment on Ideas to build a federated StackExchange alternative 1 week ago:
The two-tier reply system on SO is really useful and would be harder to implement – the replies to the questions, but also replies to the posts/replies. I don’t know how that would look if starting from Lemmy as a base.
How so? Lemmy allows unlimited nesting of replies, which is even better.

I see people accusing others of sealiening in order to dismiss their argument more often than actual sealioning.

That is also completely true, but meaningless because heat generation is not the purpose of these devices. However, if you use them in a building heated by a thermostat-controlled electric heater, you’re effectivhly running them for free.

Doesn’t the light turn into heat anyway as soon as it’s absorbed?

Do you want to alienate users who are banned from Discord or don’t want to use proprietary software?
- Comment on Why do we use average instead of mode? 3 months ago:
If you generate 1000 random numbers from 0 to 100 with a uniform distribution, the mean is going to be roughiy 50, whereas the mode couid be anything. Which one is more representative?
- Comment on Why do we use average instead of mode? 3 months ago:
This sample also shows why thé median is often more representative than the mean.

I am not a medical student, so this may be a stupid question, but if the study material is something like the name of each muscle in the body, what is there to understand and not just memorize?

- Comment on They say in an infinite multiverse versions of you exist. Yet there's an infinity of fractional numbers between 1 and 2 with no whole number 3 between, so infinity can exist without every possibility. 4 months ago:
Did you read my reply? Again, the ways to express numbers can be different, but the numbers themselves can not. Aliens in a different universe may use a different way to denote the number 3, but no matter how they denote it, it is not between 1 and 2.

Symbols for numbers can obviously be different. Numbers themselves can not.

No. Mathematical facts hold independently of any universe.
- Comment on Should instances defederate with other instances anymore if we can filter instances out on our end? 4 months ago:
Yeah, I know that and how the same people who support defederation love to complain about Gmail and Outlook blocking their home server.
- Comment on Should instances defederate with other instances anymore if we can filter instances out on our end? 4 months ago:
E-mail is also a federated protocol. Imagine if every time you wanted to send an e-mail, you had to check whether your provider likes the recipient’s provider and if not, create an account at the recipient’s provider.

What exactly is the problem with a bigot replying to you if you don’t see the reply?
Also, they can see the content even if you defederate, because it’s public.
- Comment on Should instances defederate with other instances anymore if we can filter instances out on our end? 4 months ago:
Alright. To quote your original comment:
Yes, and thus you have one giant mega community in which every bigot can access anyone and everyone else.
How would removing defederation result in a situation where “every bigot can access anyone and everyone else” if user-level instance blocking was still a thing?
- Comment on Should instances defederate with other instances anymore if we can filter instances out on our end? 4 months ago:
Your original point was that a fediverse without instance blocks would be bad, which is irrelevant to the post because the OP is not advocating for a fediverse without instance blocks:
- Comment on Should instances defederate with other instances anymore if we can filter instances out on our end? 4 months ago:
But the OP specifically talked about how the new ability to block instances can replace defederation, so it’s clear what they had in mind.
- Comment on Should instances defederate with other instances anymore if we can filter instances out on our end? 4 months ago:
Defederation is done by the instance administrator and affects all users. Instance blocking is done by the user and affects only them.
- Comment on Should instances defederate with other instances anymore if we can filter instances out on our end? 4 months ago:
What? The question was literally “Should instances defederate with other instances anymore if we can filter instances out on our end?”.
