  • Secondly, you’re literally asking for a final version of something without any sort of human testing involved. Can you name a single medical device, ever, which has had exactly 1 version, no updates, and went through 0 human trials before completion?

    That’s what the animal trials were supposed to be for. You know what happened to them? They died. They didn’t even wait for the chip to be successful in apes before putting it in a human. If you don’t understand why that’s fucked up, I can’t help you.








  • Lemmy’s biggest weakness right now is a slow drip feed of content. After blocking all of the sports communities and instances in languages I don’t speak, I’m left with the following:

    • News
    • A bunch of meme communities that might as well be interchangeable with one another
    • Memes about a TV show I don’t watch
    • Newspaper comics
    • Animal pictures
    • Way too much vanilla porn

    None of this is bad content per say, but it doesn’t capture what I loved about reddit before they ruined it. Reddit was a place where even the most niche of niche topics had a space that you could check in on every day. Obscure anime, unusual collections, diy showcases, you name it. Cultivating a culture that produces produces such specific groups requires enough people to form them. In a group of 100 random people, the number of them who are into Ginga Nagareboshi Gin (look it up) is going to be quite low, but that number increases the more people you include in the sample size and sooner or later you have a subreddit for Ginga fans. That was why Reddit was special to me, and that is what’s keeping Lemmy from reaching that high for me.
