Yeah, nuclear is to fossil fuels as planes are to cars, safety wise. Sure it’s a huge deal when an accident occurs, but that’s because accidents are drastically more rare.

So this person thinks too dudes bang by smashing their dicks into each other full force? At least now I see why they might be a little concerned lol

I’m of the stance that it doesn’t actually matter at all if you give a platform up, it’s just the overall amount of time that does. So imo there’s no reason to not keep going to reddit for the stuff you can only find there.

Hell, if everyone on Lemmy never went anywhere else, all we’ve done is doomed the site to die off as no new people ever hear about it.

That’s one hell of a long running sentence right there.

The problem is this is an argument of what ifs. Who knows if Japan would have reconsidered if the US had performed a public demonstration, or even just made the trinity test public before dropping Hiroshima, so the Japanese knew what was coming if they didn’t surrender. Maybe it would have done something, maybe it wouldn’t. We’ll never know for sure, and all this arguing about the collective psychology of a large nation 100 years ago is never going to reach a point of agreement.

Thank you! Been here a month and a half and I still had no clue how to link communities lol

That makes so much sense! I never understood it, and it became irrelevant before I worked it out.

A tip if you’re used to old reddit and use desktop, check out old.lemmy.world. It as a dark mode like reddit enhancement suite adds to old reddit, and everything is exactly where I expect it to be based on my reddit experience. Since you’re already using a lemmy.world account, it’ll just work for you straight away.

Oh and also, you’ll see that you can list things as “all,” “local,” or “subscribed.” You can pretty much ignore local, and use all or subscribed as your main page.

Honestly agreed. I hate that we don’t have a good open alternative to YT, but as long as you can afford it buying premium seems like a decent alternative.

Hot sorting normally has some weight put towards new posts so they show up occasionally. I think on lemmy right now the weight of new posts is just way too high.

I tend to stick to top in time period, and use hot as a smarter version of sort by new.
