i think their point is if you want to comment make a google account and comment… or dont.

personally, it boggles the mind why anyone would want to do that.

beauty. this should make leaving to other fediverse platforms more attractive to that audience.

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

weird, i get headaches where it feels like the only solution is an icepick through the top my eyeball. sweet, sweet death.

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

no actual product available, lets spam it everywhere. awesome.

hard not to feel like someone isnt countin eggs as chickens here

i was under the impression dad jokes were groaners, usually puns or semantic plays. if the eyes arent rolling, its not a dad joke kinda thing

this is one of my favs. i use it in a clinical onboarding program prolly once a week

not really sure lightbulb jokes are ‘dad’ jokes though
