Defend the Great Seal, Carl Sagan Pale Blue Dot Skywalkers!

Joy!

they announced it completed. Not sure if it worked as intended.

Starship is supposed to coast for the next 30 minutes, until T+ 40

45 seconds in, amazing all engines look great

It is looking like it might go on first attempt!

Fuel loading has gone well so far!

All the Unity game engine self-destruction choices got to them ;)

current predictions on launch date?

It’s already like that here, friend.

Lemmy didn't take off until well into May 2023, despite being online and open source for over 4 years. The quantity of posts, communities, comments was very small for 4 years online.

Then everyone flocked out of hate and anger of an API money matter with Reddit.Then crowds got hate-filled and angry when Threads was launched by Meta/Instagram/Facebook on July 5. And crowds became hate-filled and angry over Elon Musk rename of Twitter to X on July 23.

Outside big growth in memes and shitposts, there haven't been big numbers of people flocking here out of organic goodness on organized topics. It has largely been a HiveMind of hate as a motivation to come here since May.

Some good seeds have been planted since May, but the atmosphere of hate motivates change is pretty much Mob Mentality / reactionary.

When cross-posted >= 2, should go to a dedicated page like Reddit has had for a very long time... and allow easy viewing of who posted, date, number of comments, date of last comment, votes, etc.

looked good, they seem on a path of great progress this week

A Russian claims on Facebook that he got a Twitter direct message in 2012 from Trump that started the whole Russia + Cambridge Analytica combo: https://washingtonmonthly.com/2017/11/24/a-trumprussia-confession-in-plain-sight/

In the real world, communities are independent entities, free to choose where and how they hang out. No one tells them what to do or where to go.

I guess the people who run Reddit really think none of their audience was educated by say... Snoopy.... or seen a "no skateboarding" sign in their life. You can just hang out anywhere IRL!

Are we blocked from editing communities that we created? I tried to revise the sidebar of https://sh.itjust.works/c/jukebox and the "save" network works.
