    Imagine you have a simple function: y = 2x

    If you have two different x values (let’s say 2 and 4), there exist a y value for every number in between them.

    In this example, the y is going to be in between 4 and 8, for every x in between 2 and 4.

    The comments in this posts have everything I hoped to not see again once I left reddit for Lemmy 😭

    Like I’ve been mansplined before and it wasn’t fun. And no, women are less likely to do that because of societal reasons, not genetics 😂. I’m not even sure if some of the comments come from scientists, with the amount of confusion over social/genetic causes.

    Anyways, if you think someone needs help with something, always ask. And when talking to someone, ESPECIALLY if it’s a colleague/classmate, don’t try dumbing down the conversation unless you know the person you’re talking to won’t understand it.



  • If it wasn’t a comparative argument, then what’s wrong with my original statement?

    Edit: I think I understand what you’re coming from, but it still doesn’t make sense? They were self contained, and they didn’t just make those communities because they were defederated? It’s because there was demand. If some random instance with one user makes like 100s of communities, will it count in the graph?



  • When you say “It isn’t big”, you’re comparing it to reddit? That would basically dwarf all Lemmy instances combined lmao.

    This post was comparing Lemmy instances with other Lemmy instances. Hexbear was its own website for a while, and only decided to start trying federation like a few months after the whole reddit thing. They’re fine on their own even, so I don’t know why people keep acting as if they necessarily want to be federated.
