We need to eliminate primaries and only allow card carrying members to vote for nominees like every other democracy it prevents cults like MAGA

You are paying for the physical infrastructure. Your ISP connects the physical cables to your house/apartment that allow you to access the Internet. Google Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari… Are the digital portals to the web and search engines let you “serf” the web. We only pay for 1 service the physical. If we banned data we’d pay for at least 2 if not all 3 plus individual sites

What web browser are you using to get to this site? Unless you’re on dialup you’re accessing the Internet through a web browser that uses data to pay for the upkeep of the servers

It’s not a false dichotomy, the companies that give us access to the Internet like Google need to make money in one way or another, they sell our user data to other companies which then give targeted ads to us. If we banned the use of user data it would require a monthly subscription

We pay an ISP because they have to maintenance on a massive physical structure to keep running properly. We do not pay for the Internet, some websites charge money but Google and the general web is free to use.

wow, so there are continuums. In that case group B is the “transitional” group between species A and C or the common ancestor between the 2. I guess we’d need a category for this situation. What a mess. Maybe “Intraspecies”.

It just feels wrong to leave the tree/pyramid of life incomplete as far as categorizing.

Yes.

People are ready for alternatives to Reddit, Twitter, Facebook… Can a community on reddit shutdown, and seamlessly transfer to lemmy within a few days while archiving the subreddits history? Will the new Lemmy be hands off moderation at the site level so that conversation can be had? If you can give people a yes to both people will join.

The fediverse is too complicated which I said in detail on my post on c/fediverse currently its a mess each domain has hundreds of different sites that aren’t interconnected and where you need to create a new account on each. If Lemmy had a front page like reddit and allowed for all its smaller communities to be coded and personalized to be completely different while allowing the top 25 posts every 24 hours to pop up and allowing a place to search for a specific community. We could still allow an approval process for specific communities but reddit would fall in months with how mods at reddit currently behave

If the fediverse has any chance at properly succeeding it must create a “front page” for each alternative. Lemmy for reddit for example. There is no reason why all of lemmy can’t have a front page like old.lemmy.world with each community/platform on lemmy being connected and allowing for ease of access unlike what it is currently where you need a different account for every single Lemmy site

Not importing the history just making it quicker and simpler you keep your name and email and its instant as long as no email duplication

Get a post on reddits ALL saying a site with the same UI as old reddit but better moderation and Run in Europe and people will swell if its easy to switch. Especally now because reddit just said you can get banned for what you upvote LOL

Nothing more than linking ones account so you don’t have to go through the “approval process” simply only allow one account per email.

Yes but I need to define free will, I define it as the freedom to make a choice. We don’t control who our parents are, we don’t control what country we live in, we don’t control how others interact with us but we can control what choices we make.

We can chose option A-B-C…
