IMO the moon and Mars mean little, the real finish line is asteroid mining and orbital manufacturing.

Always good to wake up one day and find out I'm a superior leader.

The cheapest M1 laptop is actually really affordable, almost the same price as this laptop's cheapest configuration. This is probably the exact product I would be looking for if I were trying to avoid buying from Apple. I couldn't find anything on cooling/fans, so IDK if this will be another standard Intel jet engine and lap burner.

Fun facts about me, I'm not Chinese or paid by the Chinese government. I don't want to see my friends or our collective kids go off on a stupid war with China or another war in the middle east. We remember the WMDs lie, we remember decades of wage stagnation, we remember the decades of politicians low-balling us on healthcare reform/student loan forgiveness/nuclear power plants/other green energy. We know how much Iran/Afghanistan cost. We know who, for decades, sent all our jobs to China. It wasn't China. Want us to give half a shit about putting Xi in jail? Put Bush and Cheney (random names from a long list) in jail first. We can't afford any more wars. We're tired of endless do nothing politicians and constantly being gaslit.

I also always pick out the nicest cherries.

sounds like some kind of crypto-free utopia

I wish people would spend less time on Mars and more time in asteroid mining. Building capital in space will be a real game changer and the results will be far more useful and practical. Colonization might even look realistic afterwards.

Posadas was right.

I asked for proof.

Where's the proof that Tumblr "died"? This meme seems to contradict the experiences of actual Tumblr users.

Also important to note that if you didn't post a lot, many subs will auto-remove content from low karma users. So it's possible to have misidentified a global shadow ban with a few subreddit's low karma filter. One of my spammer adversaries regularly games FreeKarma4U and a specific star wars game subreddit until they figure out our low karma filter threshold then they go nuts with the spam.

It's really more about what kind of things people were posting from that VPN IP in the months/years before you. The abuse detection system will say "the tshirt spammer is back, flag this account" just because you used the same VPN as them.

Lemmy is great for anyone who wants to deploy their own reddit clone and wants federation with other lemmy instances.

4chan is not like reddit

Probably my 10 years + verified email + MFA + never using a public VPN saves me a lot of grief in the abuse detection algorithm lottery.

> I hope to see a Digg-like exodus soon.

Small problem with this. What enabled the Digg-to-reddit exodus was a strong competitor lying in the shadows. Nobody lying in the shadows behind reddit could handle an exodus. Most lemmy instances regularly go down anytime reddit so much as sneezes. I remember an exodus attempt to Voat took Voat down for at least a week, and in fact Voat never got back online until the entire exodus quit.

You just believe them with no evidence? Ban evasion suspensions say "ban evasion". They obviously triggered an unrelated system.

The abuse detection system that user is talking about does not kick in for 3 users on a shared IP who seeming accidentally participated in a subreddit another account was banned for. You would need much larger numbers or a moderator to formally acuse you of ban evasion to the admins.

> Free alternative to paid G Suite. > > Your custom domain.

I love it! I need more than one domain.

> Unlimited amount of users.

For the free tier specifically, maybe organizations otherwise giving you $0 should have a limit like 20 or 100. Or "unlimited users" could be a $10/month addon for the free plan.

> No storage limit

too unfair for you, I'd rather pay B2 style prices for each GB past 10GB or something.

> but attachments stored only for 1 month.

Surprise deletions are an instant No. Most inboxes just show you your % usage in the corner and allow me to handle deletions on my schedule.

Twitter and Reddit constantly get progressively worse every update. You guys pretend like tumblr is dead all you want. The numbers show tumblr growing.

is this what passes for "civil discussion" and "center/center right" these days?

Wait, why I have been hearing non-stop astro-turfing about "CRT in schools" in the last 6 months and I've never heard once about math being taken out? This sounds really serious, is there more I can read about Math being removed from public schools?

Did you even look at your link? Almost all the bar graphs suggest tumblr is doing great. If doing as good as Facebook is your bar for success, then you've just defined almost all businesses as failures. Those numbers beat owning a restaurant, and every startup I've ever worked at (which are all profitable).

So anyways, the tumblr that's basically the same as it was 10 years ago (unless you used it for porn), that's also still growing, is dying according to you, but not the numbers. Interesting. This is kind of like reading about your own death in the newspaper.

> If you have 7 users Monday, make a big change on Tuesday and now on Wednesday have 4 users, which then stays the same count for years. Is that really better for your community?

Does this argument hold up for literally anything else advertisers might not like? For example (no moral equivalency implied), if you banned X (pick one: pedophiles, nazis, kkk, racists, snuff, animal abuse, warez) because advertisers perceived your website as having an X problem, are you sure you're not a little too intensely focused on the "line goes up"?

Does the reverse hold up? If tumblr tomorrow decided they would allow X content, and they estimated 30% traffic increase, would that be good? If course not, the pool of advertisers would shrink in quality and quantity.

Maybe you need to provide a citation?

According to https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/14/18266013/tumblr-porn-ban-...

they've had a 30% reduction in traffic.

If that means all the weirdos with genitalia in their profile pics are gone and stop messaging me randomly (which is who actually left as far as I can tell), then good!

The remaining MAU might actually be the users they wanted to keep.

But as someone who never used tumblr for porn, I've seen no evidence that tumblr is dying for anyone other than aficionados of porn.

Karma? It doesn't get more valuable after you have enough to get you past the "you didn't register your account yesterday" type automod filters. Anyone buying accounts for "huge karma" didn't fully research how Reddit works. If you have low karma in one specific sub (because you are trolling or spamming), no amount of shameless repost karma in r/funny will protect from the "you are posting too frequently" message you'll only get in the sub you are getting downvoted in.

Accounts that will likely get big offers will have a large number of followers, mod large subreddits or targeted subreddits.

Having an active account before the 2016 Russia thing is also worth something. When you want to spread misinformation or do shill marketing, it helps a lot to see any of the following when checking a user's Reddit profile:

- the user didn't register a month ago.

- the user didn't register just to talk exclusively on this subject/product.

- the user registered before Russia's IRA became active on Reddit.

- the user didn't stop exclusively participating in porn or sports subreddits just to make this comment.

- the user is writing enough quality comments that they don't feel compelled to delete most, if not all, of them.

- the user is not making contradictory claims (there is a famous example of someone claiming to be a cis woman in computers who had clearly cis male comments in several cis male oriented subreddits, one of them called something like "semen rentension". They were called out.

- the user posts in subreddits that are on good terms with the subreddit we found their suspicious comment in.

Yep, gotta meet those diversity quotas, everywhere except board of directors, of course.

In college, when you write only "2" for an answer, the teacher doesn't say "hmmmm, he might be right", instead you get an F for not showing your work.

Spotify doesn't have something as basic as a "clone playlist" feature, so not really an option for any non-trivial playlists.
