Long term, yes, great for the planet. But shorter term, a shrinking pool of working aged adults are going to have to care for a growing pool of elderly. Additionally, the overall economy is going to contact before the age cohort imbalance takes care of itself. Same thing is happening across most of the developed world, but it’s happening faster in China, and they’re less developed to start with.

I can’t imagine why they wouldn’t.

It hides the true cost of the meal and allows both the employee and the employer to avoid taxes on this part of the “salary”

Arthmoor’s various village mods (adds and expansions) on AFKMods. They look like they came with game disk. They add stuff that it’s hard to imagine wasn’t there before. Like a house for Lokir in Rorikstead.

Since Poland was restored at the Treaty of Versailles, it has invaded exactly 0 countries. Russia has invaded a few dozen. Including Poland. Twice.

People will do batshit crazy shit if they think God wants them to.

It’s funny reading people suggesting RSS on here as a way to replace Reddit. Aaron Schwartz helped create both of them.

I think that which 250k migrated will eventually end up making quite a significant dent. It isn’t the technophobic lurkers that make up the Lemmy early adopters.

Maybe we’ll eventually get the corresponding influx of tech writers.

Agreed. As others have pointed out, voting helps to elevate higher quality posts (even if it doesn’t always work that way), but karma takes that imperfect process to its ridiculous extreme.

Not sure if this was an argument for karma, but it sounds like an argument for avoiding contraversy and trying to fit in This is why everyone on Reddit appears to have the same opinion. I much prefer a diversity of opinions, and no penalty for speaking one’s mind (while treating each other with decency).

Karma makes sense, in theory, but in practice, it just punishes anyone who diverges from the herd.

“Pcmasterrace” did not start with Reddit.

We are guests.

Rexxitor.

I’ve never finished it. By the time I get to this point in the game, the save is unstable and I’m bored with my DB.

I play sneaky archer, and I like it.

I’ve spoken to people IRL who say that the protests are pointless, even if I show them a new community growing because of them. There is probably some shenanigans involved in the volume of anti-protest activity, but there are plenty Redditors with Stockholm Syndrome to give them credibility

I have a feeling that this is going to be a healthy migration, for me. Like, maybe the sort of person drawn to an open-source federated modding community is the kind of person that endorses a mod they keep using, and appreciates the work of the author.

That might just be the Lemmy honeymoon talking, but that’s where I am right now.
