The vast majority of lemmy users are on a couple massive instances: lemmy.world, lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works etc.

There are tiny instances which would be happy to host more users and are faster than the big ones but no one joins them because most people just hear of lemmy.world or whatever is being shared on reddit and join that.

What is the first column with percentages?

Exchange student got shanked and died. No one was charged with a crime, perpetrator unknown. Suburban setting, so was very shocking.

Absolutely based. So much respect.

Ukraine but not Russia. What a twat.

True, Binet, the french psychologist who created the first test of this type was not a eugenicist.

But the first American to popularise the concept, was a radical eugenicist (racist, ableist etc.), Lewis Terman, and it’s his version of the IQ test that got popularised in the US.

Whenever someone says “boost” or “strengthen” the immune system, its marketing BS.

I don’t generally blame people for falling for it, because you even have medical professionals falling for it.

(And some reactionary intellectual circles still try to use it to justify “scientific” racism, to this day)

Its conception and first uses were tailored to have data backing up the concept poor people, disabled people, and black people were dumber, thereby justifying forced sterilisation and human rights abuses of those groups.

In fact, the Nazis used a modified version inspired by the american concept of IQ tests to justify their genocide of disabled people.

As george monbiot said, Russia, US, Israel are forming an axis of autocracy, along with smaller states like Hungary.

I guess the americans like their medicine even more expensive than the ridiculous profit margins our pharmaceuticals already claim?

“Ah yes the Dinosaur mato thing? Failed twitter alternative right?”

(actual quote from a convo I’ve had)

How’s American Dad these days? I remember Season 1 and bits of Season 2 were genuinely funny and mostly based around caricatures of the american conservative. Then I had to stop watching because later seasons started to get more insensitive and “bothsidesy”.

The first 10 maybe 15, 20 is stretching it seasons of the simpsons were alright, parts of them genuinely good. Why we’ve continued another 20 years with lesser writers and low quality slop is beyond me…

I think since everything is using slightly modularised software that integrates each other you end up being overwhelmed by so many names.

Like reddit is just reddit. But to use the lemmyverse you have “fediverse”, “activitypub”, then “lemmy”, “mbin”, “piefed”, (Not to mention all the instances and frontends) etc etc

❤️ cuddles :)

I love the cute vibe, but I feel the need to rant:

“strengthens the immune system” doesn’t mean much. And if you take it at face value, it’s probably a bad thing, atleast in the West, more people suffer from overactive immune systems (allergies, autoimmune diseases) than underactive ones.

Yep PeerTube is Framasoft created
