Triangle of U is best triangle.
i have yet to see any actually good arguments
Myopia is generally curable. There are a preponderance of problems associated with multiple competing communities, especially in the early days of a social network. Your blindness to that doesn't make them cease to be. Maybe take the blinders off.
I mean you're parents weren't wrong that archeology wasn't a realistic life path. Maybe start watching YT videos about archeology while you are on the clock?
Mercator always a.crowd favorite.
Hmm. I thought I was a paid schill.
Still trying to figure out the getting paid part.
I'm even more convinced than before you have not a fucking clue what the fuck you are talking about or what civil means in this context.
Me: Can we have meme?
Mom: We have meme at home.
Meme at home: This.
I don't think you understand the meaning of the word "civil" in this context.
If this were civil, that would maybe be a thing.
This is.. well its fundamentally different. We've undergone a coup. This kind of circle-jerking "But He's Not Following The Law" by NBC, is well, masturbatory, and intentionally obscures what has happened.
NBC is part of the problem, not the solution. Being in contempt of courts when courts and law have no.. why pretend like they do?
Egg life.
Ask me what it's like to live this high?
Should I give her my CC number to keep her company?
Its that time of year when banana man brings da presents.

Apple banana coming in. I've had this patch planted maybe five years. It's becoming a bit of a problem and I'm gonna have to move it because it's taking over and crowding out some native plants but I thought garden and farm nerds might want to see how non industrial bananas are grown.
You startem out as keiki:
which grow at the base of a large corm, or pseudo bulb. I usually dig them out with a shovel and then throw them in a pot like this for to transplant. I fertilize with an organic heavy phosphorus mix just to get them going.
[note: this picture isn't apple banana, but Tahitian blue banana.]
At that point, with enough water and any where from 30-100% sunlight, they establish themselves. It takes almost 18 months from keiki to mature fruiting plant, and usually your first bananas are so so in quality. However, the new keiki will be coming up (about 12 months after planting), and if you irrigate or have enough rainfall, once established, you press up up down down LRLR start select, and that unlocks the infinite banana cheat code. Bananas, once established, are insanely productive, and you can manage the sugar to fiber ratio by how early you harvest. Boiled banana a favorite at our house and we do that with very immature bananas.
When a banana plant is ready to give it starts to lean. Bananas are all effectively nodal clones from the base of the corm, and can be pretty destructive. We had some come down on a fence and with the stem, which is basically all water, and the bananas, it's at least a couple kg suspended pretty high in the air. You can also tell they ripe when they yellow up and start to fan out like a open palm 🫴. The longer you wait the better the flavor is, but also more likely to fall uncontrollably. Depending on the variety can do real damage to cars or whatever underneath.
Most of thes going to go to a food bank and we grow enough fruit to keep an ice box pretty much full all year. Anything extra goes to an auntie who that's her thang and she'll make sure they get to the right people.

More pix first. Then explanation.
So this is going on the fifth year I'll be farming Vanilla. My operation is microscopic but it's a work in progress. I've got maybe 300 vines all in. I got some Vanilla off this planting 2 years ago, and this was the first vines I planted. Which is some what typical for Vanilla. Usually 3-5 years before they really become productive.
I fertilized these back in May/ April. It's a tiny yield but next year I expect to have maybe 5-20x this amount, which means if I can sell some of it, I'll finally be able to cover some of my costs.
Right now I have about five varieties. All from either trade or from hiking to old plantations and looking for feral populations. This one is a variety of Tahitiensis and I made a vanilla bean whip cream a few months ago with it. It's a very distinctly 'bourbon' flavor. Like i ground it up in a mortar and pessle and it straight up smelled like whiskey.
So not close to enough to sell (again) this year. But next year and the following years, maybe this hobby will finally start paying itself off.

You are obviously the kind of person who expects other to do their work for them, and to then simply pass judgement.
You don't strike me as the kind of person worth wasting the time to explain things on, but to get you started, here is a lecture on basic network theory: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/14-15-networks-spring-2022/mit14_15s22_lec2.pdf
Google some of the concepts within.
The fundamental problem is that social graphs like the ones created from something like a sub-lemmy are fundamentally dependent on the level of activity. You have to get to some critical threshold before the process becomes self-sustaining. Specifically, by diffusing the activity across many sub-lemmy's you never get to enough activity to create a self sustaining community. This isn't unique to social graphs but should be obvious to any one capable of figuring out the right side of a key-board to pound.
More activity creates more insentive to create more activity. There are activation thresholds within the network at which a level of activity becomes self sustaining. We see the fall out of this constantly from people who carry a torch for a small sub for months, maybe years, then finally give up. Recently there was a fellow who had been doing so for some Portuguese subs. Seems like they had been a mod on Reddit and were trying to rebuild the community here, but it all fell apart.
The diffusion of subs is the fundamental issue holding back lemmy, and its made worse with federation.
