Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Languages ranked by the size of their alphabets
1·25 days agoPortuguese uses 23, w y and k are only for imported words. It also has plenty of mutators like á à ã â é ê ó õ ô ú ç, but I don’t know if you should count those as letters.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is fediverse basically ? How does it work ?
4·8 months agoI suppose you are on lemmy. Lemmy is kind of the reddit of the fediverse. Imagine that now everyone can create their own reddit server with blackjack and hookers. That is the server you are on, someone decided to create a server for the world. But now I am on another server with different owners, rules and mods (basically blackjack and different hookers). I can interact with you on your server and you can interact with me on my server because our servers are federated.
Now imagine that you can do this for every social media. Reddit, X(itter), Instagram, YouTube, Tiktok, WhatsApp. Everything is available in the fediverse (with more or less issues depending on what you are looking for).
A balance between communities. There are communities that are very active and fill my feed. Although those community are OK, I am much more interested in some smaller and niche communities. Those get lost in the feed.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When was the last time you felt that you were well represented by a politician - be it at local or national level? What was the occasion?
2·8 months agoThere is this one guy that represented me well for the last 6 years. While he was running the party things were good. From then on things went a bit downhill. He is still there and doing a good job though.
Come on, spit it out. Who cares about Internet points?

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Eight years on, Mastodon stubbornly survivesEnglish
7·8 months agoI really hope you are right. I currently predict some issues with the scalability of the fediverse, maybe due to ignorance. If the majority of people switch their social media to the fediverse, the current volunteer hosted infrastructure will crash. Such infrastructure is not cheap to maintain and donations may dry out at some point. Specially for pixelfed, loops and peertube. The fediverse may run into trouble without easy self-hosting solutions

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?
14·8 months agoI was never banned or even warned. Reddit is an American company who is catering to the oligarchy. While before the USA was a seemingly friendly country to other democracies, this is not the case anymore. A majority of their population is either voting for agression or is complicit by inaction. Adding content to USA social media is only increasing their reach. Reddit used to be nice but Lemmy is a better alternative anyway.
This was the the only way I could delete my account
On Chrome it does not work either
I am using Firefox. I tried to disable the cookie protection and their website still does not work

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something you've done that you believe very few other people have done? Only one caveat: it can't be cool or jealousy-provoking.
4·9 months agoAs a kid, I once killed a fly by squeezing an empty yogurt bottle, propelling the lid of said bottle and squatting the fly on the wall. I did that on purpose and it took some attempts.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you know anyone in real life that uses Lemmy?
4·10 months agoNot really, but I found out about lemmy and the Fediverse one week ago. I already told about it to 2 people, maybe if you ask me again in a couple of weeks the answer may be different



This is only the beginning. Soon there will be LLMs trained on other LLMs garbage. And those LLMs will also post and write crap on the Internet. The true pinnacle of shite posting
