It isn't. The full name, including everything after the @ is the name of the community. They act differently and should be treated different.

To put it another way using email as an example, we wouldn't treat matt.smith@gmail.com as the same as matt.smith@bbc.co.uk.

I'm talking about implementation.

A lot of people come into Lemmy assuming that the federation is uniform when it isn't. There are two different groups of people between .world and .ml, let alone more specialized instances.

Just because the community name is the same doesn't mean the community is the same.

It wasn't a hodgepodge; it was a system designed to the requirements of the day. Every town setting their own clocks to the local high noon wasn't a bad idea for a while. Hell, the ability to transfer the knowledge of time from another part of the world only came about a few generations before.

It wasn't until the railroads started operating where it became important for different cities to have the same time down to the minute. Until then, local noon worked well enough.

That assumes the "mirrored" communities are mirrors of each other. The instance that the community is hosted in really affects the community.

Time zones were the result of railroads getting towns to abandon their town specific clocks because of railroads.

Yeah. People often complain that connections get jobs, but a big problem is showing others that you can do the job. If someone has already vetted them, it makes the selection process easier.

The cultural relationship with time is more important than its absolute measurement.

So that's why the cocaine in the White House incident is blowing up

Probably not.

Even if you're going into things like dub con hetero omegaverse content, the men are still written in a way that is attractive to women.

Flash and Silverlight follow what I said. They were ubiquitous until the costs, being a bloated platform that couldn't be ported to smartphones, caused the industry to shift to an open model.

And messaging is a very old use of the Internet. IRC was created in 1988; Discord shouldn't be a thing based on what you've said.

I feel like a major limitation to a Stargate empire would be Stargate throughout.

A large enough military would need to be supplied at each Stargate to secure access. At a certain point, it is going to be difficult for the home world to supply all garrisons, even if some garrisons some self-sufficiency. Worse, if a garrison is self sufficient, how do you maintain loyalty to the home world.

Closed standards win all the time; messaging and social feeds being two major examples.

Open standards usually win only when complying with closed standards is more costly than using less developed open standards in the short run and developing the open standards over time.

An idea is worth its weight in gold.

How much does an idea weigh?

Recycled the plastic that is used to go around office paper boxes so they don't open into coasters.

I fell into alt right

That might have contributed to your friends ghosting you, depending on the friend group. You may have been legitimately grieving due to various reasons, but it might not have been perceived that way by your friend group.

I don't know the full details of your interactions, but I could easily see that being a red flag for some of your friends.

I got out of that shit.

Good, because a lot of the alt right influencers prey on people like you were in your predicament. I'm sorry you went down that rabbit hole.

If I'm doing that, I'm not laude.

Yeah. I went to a tech school, so the school was set up to teach the importance of communication and team building because they knew the engineers needed to be taught this and that understanding human systems was as important as understanding technical systems.

There are these butterflies in Central America. They're blue and orange and yellow and have poison in their wings, just enough to stop a bird heart. But the birds know this somehow, so they don't eat them. But there are other ones, butterflies, they're orange, blue and yellow too but no poison wings. They're just flying around, looking dangerous, getting by on their looks.

It probably wasn't written to the quantity it is today, but it doesn't mean it wasn't used.

Mass literacy wasn't a thing until the past 100 years, so a lot of people didn't even write anything down about their lives.

Even once mass literacy was adopted, the written word was generally sent to specific places. Outside of combat messengers, letters generally went to specific places where people would pick them up. If you were able to read the written message, you were probably in a known location to the sender.

It isn't until cellular text messaging or Internet chat where it became common to not know where a person was when you were talking to them.
