hypothetically, I suppose it could alternately be done by instances just federating the number of votes from their instance and only storing who voted what internally. Though then you might get issues with very easy vote manipulation if a server just says a lot of people voted a certain way without needing to make accounts to “justify” the fake votes.

I have a suspicion that we might see some interesting hybridization of the plant based and lab grown meats at some point. Tissue culture is expensive, and while Im sure the price can be reduced, Im doubtful that it will get cheaper than plant protein is. However, it can potentially taste more like real meat than plants, seeing as, well, it is real meat, just assembled differently. Potentially then, one can probably mix in some percentage of plant protein (or possibly mycoprotein as well) in with the meat in ground meat type products like burgers, without the flavor changing too noticeably, and get something mostly the same with a lower cost.

Eh, since going vegetarian in the past year or so, I’ve found that a lot of the meat substitutes actually are pretty good, depending on how you use them. It’s not usually so perfect that one cannot truly tell, sure, unless it’s a dish where the meat flavor is heavily affected by spices and similar like with chili, but I’ve definitely found types of substitute bacon, or burgers, or ground meat that taste quite good. Though in my experience it’s usually been the cheaper or simpler ones, like black bean burgers or tempeh bacon, that taste best. Not the same, but similar enough to be tasty in broadly similar ways.

Funnily enough the instance my masto is on also uses that motto, tho for an entirely different reason

If you don’t want your posts/content to appear on other websites from the one you posted it on, why would you use a federated platform in the first place? Isn’t the entire point of these kinds of platforms that this kind of content is shared between sites?

And on a mostly unrelated side note, that bit about people trying to force the website to display CP to get the owner in legal trouble is exactly the reason why strict liability crimes that don’t care about intent are a bad idea

hypothetically, what stops a spam group from creating their own instance to register accounts on, or several such? It’d get defederated quickly once the attack got going, sure, but it would take time for this to get done, and in the meantime the spam gets in

There is an instance centered around that actually, though I have no idea the state of it’s stability or funding. I’ve made my account on a more general content furry-themed instance and found it to be pretty well run though, don’t really have any complaints.

Possibly conspiratorial thinking on my part, but the first reason I can think of is that those subs are both popular enough that they wouldn’t want them fully migrating off reddit/closed forever, but also the kind of sub to not go along with unpopular decisions/ cause trouble. If you were looking to force a few subs open to serve as an example to mods of other subs that they must reopen or be replaced, you’d want to choose ones that aren’t as likely to reopen on their own anyway after awhile, and who’s moderation team you might want to replace, as you now have an excuse and the people who would get mad already are.

I don’t think op was saying that fps games should get rid of the shooting, but more that they’re getting tired of shooter games as a genre

It’s things like this that make me think that I probably could not really be on a jury effectively, because at this point I have seen so many instances of blatant police or prosecutorial misconduct in collecting and presenting evidence (I mean seriously, just assuming that anything done on the device of anyone in a family is from that specific individual, including automated processes outside the control of the user) that it has me worried that it is always reasonable to doubt anything a police officer or prosecutor says, shows, or claims as evidence, in which case it would be literally impossible for one to prove something to me beyond a reasonable doubt, because the mere act of the very people whos job it is to do so, attempting to prove something, feels like a rational enough reason to doubt whatever it is.

Not saying this is a good sentient, because of course there obviously are actual criminals out there, but it’s like the boy who cried wolf, if the people running the justice system blatantly break the rules so much, how can one ever trust that they have been followed, in a particular instance?

that would explain why Im suddenly seeing a ton of star trek posts on my federated feed, I mean Id expect some but Ive seen a lot more all of a sudden

Why wouldn’t it be? Twitter doesn’t have ownership of the entire concept of microblogging or anything

I mean, since there’s no central site to shut down, Lemmy failing would pretty much just mean that it stagnates and some of the bigger instances shut down, at which point there still would be some remnant of it left to stay on, if a smaller one. Failing that, it isn’t the only reddit alternative that people have been working on, so maybe one of the others will be more successful.
