Has faster than light travel (e.g. via wormhole) been utterly and completely disproven by modern physics? Because if not, I'd say we can't say that for certain.
I agree on the merits, but the contrarian in me has to point out that any company is a monopoly through some convoluted interpretation. For example: Logitech has a monopoly on mice and keyboards that work with their proprietary software.
I know the Wikipedia link is relevant, but specifically the except seems totally disconnected to me from the post. It feels inorganic, to the point I almost doubt OP's motives. Maybe I'm wrong.
Anyway I'm not trying to say any of it is untrue, just that it should be taken with a pinch of salt.
I hope I'm not gatekeeping, but if I'm gatekeeping anything it's not 'good news', it's what can be posted under a meme post. But as I said, I'm just trying to provide context, I guess it came out pretty gatekeepy so I'll try to tone that down next time.
That's not really relevant to the post, is it? And that kind of praise on Wikipedia usually comes from the company editing its own Wikipedia page and being very picky about which data they cite.
I guess I disagree with "social media is to mainly follow people". I think social media is for socializing, regardless of who it's with. Sorry for the double reply.
I don't know about you but I'm here for the comments sections, i.e. to socialize. That counts as social media IMO. Socializing with random users and not followed accounts, is still socializing.
To clarify why I think Lemmy is not a forum: in my eyes, forums are set up by the admins, only the admins can decide which subforums exist and what's allowed in them. Lemmy and reddit are not simple forums because they allow any user to create a subforum and make those choices and decisions, that traditionally are reserved for admins. It's an extremely important difference and makes Lemmy much more of a general social platform and not a focused forum.
I totally disagree on both counts: forums are social media, and Lemmy is not a mere forum. Lemmy is a platform where people can create forums, and many of those forums (communities) exist mainly to socialize.
I'll give you that some forums (both on Lemmy and otherwise) that have a clear defined topic - such as tech support for a particular thing - are somewhat different from "social media", but even in those three are often regulars who use the forum to socialize with each other. Any forum with an "off-topic" subforum is social media in my book, in a very real sense (not just technically).
To scrollers: this is a recent video by AlphaPhoenix where he captures slow-motion footage of dragonflies. Some amazing shots in there. Well, one at least.
