I love this.

I think it’s important to say this doesn’t mean pretending you like or agree with something you don’t like or agree with.

But when you do see something you like, agree with, or appreciate, drop a compliment. Compliments make places better!

(I think Canadian representation really expanded a lot, and European too, after Trump got elected and Reddit started sucking elon’s dick)

Less than Reddit, but still a fuckload.

I mean I guess the people who spend their times on english speaking internet forums has a large chunk americans, you know, given the US population is 300+ million, while Canada, Australia, New Zeland, Ireland and Britain don’t even make half the US population when added together.

“In fact, not only does the market assessment of the value of different forms of work not correspond to popular conceptions of what they actually contribute to society, but there actually seems to be an inverse relation: with few exceptions, the principle seems to be, the more one’s work is seen as socially useful, the more it is recognized as helping others, the less one is likely to be paid for it.”

I’ve barely ever used twitter but have like 4 accounts to my name over the past 15 years. I kept on forgetting I had already made an account.

Now imagine all the alts and bots and specific accounts people create for projects. Probably much less than 2.8 billion humans have created a twitter account. But 2.8 billion accounts have been created.

That doesn’t include images. Images are stored on wikimedia commons, which is about 600 TB.

Wow, rare to run into someone ME aware in the wild. Thanks for understanding ❤️

Our disease has quite a bit less functioning than MS as measured on bell spectrum.

I get by by watching nature documentaries lol.

(I was backcountry skiier and loved mountaineering so the contrast hits hard lol)

Lets you block a whole instance including users.

I have many people in my disability support groups I recommended lemmy too and they were unable to use it.
