  • why reddit is better:

    • reddit has polls (even if it's only up to 6 choices, and <8 days)

    • reddit currently has more users, and thus more people to interact with

    • I kinda like karma pints.

    • my pro-Green Party/Jill Stein posts aren't visible to most redittors, and thus aren't as much downvoted, if at all

    • I can embed YouTube videos, but not only YT but also Vimeo

    &#x200B;

    why Lemmy is better:

    • no ads, not run by a corporation

    • It's federated.

    • as one respondent already said ITT: more cozy

    • my Vimeo, niconico, Archive, Wikicommons, and the very rare PeerTube posts look no worse than my YouTube posts—though with most posts, one can't see as many thumbnails.

    &#x200B;

    why Miraheze is better:

    • no ads, not run by a corporation

    • I can embed YouTube videos, but not only YT but also Vimeo, Archive, niconico, Wikicommons, and Miraheze Commons (on a few of the wikis at least)

    • Files in Wikicommons can be transcluded.

    • I like the wiki format (at least their and WMF wiki formats) best.

    &#x200B;

    why WMF projects are better:

    • no ads, not run by a corporation

    • Wikipedia is one of the most visited website on the internet; I enjoy categorizing files on Wikicommons; I like the structures of Wikiversity's wikidebates.

    &#x200B;

    I'm also thinking of posting in RationalWiki next year.

  • When I joined reddit, it was at least a year—probably 3 years—before I was banned from a subreddit—r/AskReddit. I've been here little more than a year and I've not only been banned from a notable community here, but when I asked to be unbanned—once, then letting perhaps a few weeks pass, then twice—I got no reply.

    (and I'm not going to ask a 3rd time, but will simply create a [community-I-was-banned-from]2.)

  • If I can resist Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok (of which I have never had an account, don't have, and probably won't have on any of those 3), I can resist Lemmy.

  • You have to walk 10 miles, through the bad part(s) of a dangerous Am city at 9:00 PM on a Sat night. Who of the following (in the body of this post) would you rather have as de facto bodyguards?

  • which is kind of why you get 11 choices. 😁🙂

  • Yes, and despite the hyperventilating about crime in the US by America's political right, the murder rate has fallen these past few decades.

    Nonetheless, there are risks.

    You yourself might stride South Central LA, Bronx, Detroit, the nation's capital, et al, with confidence, and probably incur no harm, but unless you think any of these would increase the risk to your personal safety while you walk the 10 miles, maybe you want to choose one.

    In T-2, the terminator got beaten by the T-1000, including being impaled and losing an arm.

  • As they are randomly selected, the Americans could be proportionate to American demographics; but if you wish, we can make all of the Americans of East Asian descent, except for the short guys, who will be all white and of Northern European descent. Does that make you happy?

  • Do they have to follow my directions?

    They want to get you through safely, if only for the $10 000.

    I suppose if any of the 24 can't make it, they can stay behind.

    Whats your favorite color of light, why?

    Jump

  • I tend towards green.

  • In a world where every person is free to share their opinion directly to a mass audience; do we really need pundits anymore?

    Jump

  • We might need professional thinkers to give comments.

  • Who'd win in a fight: lion, polar bear, orca, giant squid, 3 komodo dragons, African elephant, 400 cats, 10 gorillas w/ baseball bats, 1 kg of Asian giant hornets, 20 kg of fire ants, or a big tree?

  • Black people didn't initiate wars in Iraq, Vietnam, the Holocaust, or Gaza.

    The GDP of American blacks probably exceeds many European countries.

    Probably millions of blacks have Phds.
