Caffeine is not particularly harmful at common doses…

Tbh I still get mostly motorhead

I don’t believe that’s true… It currently has around 9k servers, but I think the vast majority of those will have less than 10 users.

Anyway, there’s currently about 1m active users, so the real question is will it scale by 3 orders of magnitude? And my point being that I’d expect the network to become more connected as it scales (at least for the main archipelago, which is probably always going to house a majority of users).

Is that really true though? Say we end up with 10k servers with 100-1000 users each, even if only 10% of those users have a connection to a server that no one rose on their server is connected to, that’s still a highly connected network.

Then add boosts from other servers (that incentivise cross-network follows)…

I like this take, but I wonder if there’s eventually a combinatoric problem with having hundreds of thousands of small instances, each with thousands of connection to other instances? I have no idea how that relates to the network/computational constraints…

Decent Earning Options? In this economy?

Instance admins can block the instance

Is your argument here that your preferred way to deal with cockroaches is to let them have the run of your house? Hard to red anything rose out of that, given the context.

It’s not contradictory. Feelings and actions are not the same thing.

Maybe I really like ice cream (feeling), but it don’t actually want to eat it (action) because I’m worries about something unrelated, like my weight.

Yes, absolutely. Both are possible. Different peoplwith different experiences and tendencies operate differently.

Also, there are lots of different types of love. https://www.ftd.com/blog/types-of-love

Assume this is not meant to be NSFW?

Then I’ll do it. If it doesn’t cost me too much. I can’t see someone else’s perspective really, but I can at least be empathetic…

Yeah, that’s always gotta be true to some extent… If not, then the apology is gonna be insincere anyway. But it doesn’t mean that the regret has to be massive for you for the apology to be valid or useful.

I get that this is a joke, but there’s a good point there too: I don’t give apologies because they were demanded, if give them because I can see that they’d help improve the situation.

Yeah, I’m definitely assuming good faith above. I’m lucky that I’m mostly surrounded by people for whom that assumption makes sense.

Yes… Apologies aren’t about fault for me. They are about recognising other’s suffering, and possibly about acknowledging my contribution to that situation.

The apology isn’t about you, it’s about the other person, and showing you care about them.

Something to fill time while waiting for the kebab you ordered?

I wasn’t taking about an individual, I was talking about humans as a species and culture.
