  • giving any direct answer on his actual religious beliefs is to highlight how “true in a sense” the stories are.

    They are true, metaphorically. Just as much as Star Wars is true to the mass mind (hive mind, collective unconscious, whatever you call it) of the human experience. Just as much true as The Simpsons, Finengans Wake, Shakespeare, etc.

    I think a lot of people avoid very basic things about religions: 1) They are learned much like spoken languages. 2) people have trouble learning second languages much like religions. 3) You can translate religion to religion, there are a lot of common concepts, even if often inverted. Take marriage, funerals, and holidays for examples.

    It's taking Fox News literally, it is taking Star Trek literally, it is taking fiction stories as fact / literal that's the problem.

  • who? I've never heard of him in context of studying world religions.... i was quoting an expert on Comparative Mythology.

    "his views on cultural and political issues which have been described as conservative or right-wing." - I don't think "all religions are non-literal" sounds like conservative in any way, shape, or form.

  • Lemmy.ml is down right now (back online, was unreachable for about 6 hours)

  • most likely, yes. There was no notice of a planned outage, and the timing of them both going down within 15 minutes of each other. Lemmy server programming code isn't very robust when it comes to performance, it is possible to busy up the database to a point that the site become unresponsive. I don't know what is going on with lemmy.ml being entirely unreachable, the devs who run that server don't normally work on weekends... and normally nginx responds with an error at minimum. Nothing at all is loading

  • lemmy.world is reachable, but no database connections, it has an "Error" page on every post I try to load. Which this post itself on Lemmy.world serves as example: https://lemmy.world/post/1578844

  • Kbin and Lemmy seem to not agree on time zones, there has been some mention on GitHub.

  • Major performance problems have been fixed in Lemmy in the past 48 hours, with more pending in the next 24. The latest code on GitHub is far better than 0.17.4/0.18.0 in terms of hammering the server.

  • FYI: lemmy.ml - central hub for many communities - has been down 2 hours after 0.18 upgrade EDIT: back up - they say DDoS attack against multiple Lemmy instances

  • The admin of Beehaw told me to post it on Lemmy.ml despite the message being that the server was down.

  • They say it was a DDOS attack:

  • Beehaw is suppressing the news about a Lemmy outage, when their /c/Technology community is about rumors in the sidebar!

  • Lemmy 0.18 (and earlier) has no ability to save the federation queue, when the server stops it forgets what it had in retry to send. I suspect the problem is more the other servers going down causing lemmy.ml to keep crashing on outbound content it is sending. There are hundreds of small servers out there subscribed to lemmy.ml's communities.

  • PLEASE help test Lemmy 0.18 fixes, enterprise.lemmy.ml is the testing server with latest code

  • @lixus98 I can't reply to your comment for some reason... here is my reply

    There is a community on the enterprise server we started putting them in. The markdown rendering you linked has been mentioned: https://enterprise.lemmy.ml/post/416737
