yep. people just don’t understand how big the universe is.

brazil jumped from twitter, that was a huge part of it. the election caused another wave.

bluesky is just twitter with faux-federation. it will end up with the same issues eventually when its board decides to recoup.

yes, its a chicken and egg problem and a huge hurdle for literally anyone trying to create new platforms.

its about feature parity (even if they dont really exist, re:account portability), marketing among other things. bluesky is run buy a bunch of big names who were able to draw an initial load of users which got their ball rolling.

its about blueskys volume reaching a ‘critical mass’ which will continue to then draw users.

huge groups (recently, brazil) moved there en-masse because it already had a ton of users.

its the same reason twiiter even still has users… they dont want to leave that volume of subscribers.

a rogue planet hitting this one would. i would expect a space faring race to want to move not only to the outskirts of the solar system, but possible attempt venturing to a new one. perhaps multiples.

but go ahead, keep thinking small for some reason. technology never advances dontcha know.

Oh no, how will the universe ever recover from this tragedy?

yep, this is what people resort to when they dont have a real point. ‘so what?!’ pfft

huh? why do people have this innate ability to underestimate what we might be capable of? why do you think its impossible for us to become masters of our own genome?

not getting off this rock means our species is doomed regardless of how ‘perfect’ we keep earth.

youre still not thinking astronomically. you need to think bigger. i like to at least pretend out technology advances.

our planet could easily be wiped by a number of things. if we dont plan for a planetary catastrophe out of our control, our species is doomed.

i think you underestimate human ingenuity and the time frames involved.

yes.

if we want to become a true space faring species resilient to all that the universe can throw at us we will need both

ive found they help identify spammers pretty quickly

your attempt at convincing people why to use a button will fail. they will do what they want. technical solutions for human behaviors can be difficult because humans do not generally like to be told what to do

mbin already has ‘reputation’ exposed

yep. ranked choice and removing party affiliation from ballots would go a long way to help this

so there is a solution. too bad no politicians will touch it because it would hinder their golden ‘2 party stranglehold’ goose

just a couple of bots i dont care about and several mods i really dont care about

unisex clothing == male clothing

so still cant buy anything with colors or style or anything even mildly feminine without the gay thing being thrown around

im just so happy you also have opinions. congrats

congratulations

youd have to make a new account. also there are other platforms that fully integrate with lemmy like mbin example: https://moist.catsweat.com that dont look like someone forgot half the css.

im still a bit salty about ‘literally’

also the constant failure to say ‘i could not care less’ correctly
