I believe that curiosity is a virtue. Identifying and Explaining are the two tenets of my philosphy, to seek out and to understand is my way of living.

(this is a reference to somehting, but that something has influenced me so much)

Girls own the void!
Let's make some noise
Don't leave the house without a party bag, check this!
I'm still a princess, I can curtsy, I can beat you at tetris!

it is So Fucking Slow. i can't use it for more than 10 minutes without it slowing down to the point of unusability

Ah, I see your point now. I still think it'd sell the wrong idea since it just causes centralization, which is a problem that platforms already deal with, but now I see its potential usefulness as well

But this isn't the case with "usual" social media stuff either, why should it be the case with the fediverse?

Also just like, they are decentralized. You can't tell dozens upon dozens of different people to "hey, make ur instance's design follow these arbitrary rules thanks"

I think that'd be boring

Same case as Fakefunk, I have my own fictional world set in the year 2500. I don't really care about how the world is doing, but there's this small, human-made island operated by sentient machines that is what i call a "utopia in the works". They're trying to make a utopia, but they're not quite there yet. One thing I do know about this world is that "zero world countries" are now a thing, that is, countries that reach post-scarcity. The island this worldbuilding is focused on is one of those.

My friends have called them the intersection of transhumanism and buddhism, and solarpunk with a cyberpunk aesthetic

• you can also say that a dozen is a group of 1100, does that mean that a dozen is a reference to binary? of course not, that doesn't make any sense. just because you can use decimal digits to write a definition doesn't make it a decimal-centric definition. duodecimal is decimal-centric not because of its definition, but because it's literally "two(duo) ten(decimal)"

• there are a lot of ways to count to 12 with only two hands. some with only one hand

The problem with "duodecimal" is that it's in base ten, which makes it unfitting for a community centered around replacing base ten

I clicked on this with a "this really shouldn't use that word" mindset, and was very pleasantly surprised

Besides being fully finished (it's not even on version 1.0 yet)? I'd say topic variety. Currently most of lemmy's content is very techy stuff, which is enough for people like me who are into that, but reddit has active communities for a lot of interests. Lemmy stuff is like, privacy this, linux that, tor this, development that, while reddit is more like, privacy this, conlang that, drawings this, water that, politics that other thing, etc

I think this is the kinda stuff that will come over time as people start using Lemmy, tho. Art nerds, water nerds, bird nerds, etc will come around and create communities for their interests, and people who are interested in those things will come to share their interests too
