This pyramid does present good advice, that diverting further away from the core of the argument not only makes your point less convincing, but encourages the other party to take it more personally.
However, this also relies on the assumption both parties are arguing in good faith, which on the internet at least, is becoming increasingly uncommon, with arguments becoming less of a discussion between two people and more a contest to be won at any cost.
Even I must admit I've been drawn into that competitive mindset before. Something about the way Reddit (and modern social media) works encourages people to be very volatile towards one another.
If we can do that here, surely it can't be that hard to just pick a server on there and follow people, right?
I don't expect everyone to be a coding wizard, I'm certainly not, but how are so many people still so tech illiterate in this modern day that what essentially boils down to picking an email host is considered difficult??
Looking at the past, I don't have any hope for meaningful change.
Just last year or so we've had people on their literal death beads denying corona is real.
You're not even wrong. Even when people weren't denying the reality of the situation, so many still refused to do any of the measures designed to stop it, then blamed everyone else around them.
It wad a depressing time to see how rabid and divided people are that somehow the existence of a virus that was literally killing millions of people, and leaving even more crippled existed or not became a political game.
Oh I don't know, could have something to do with the whole climate change disaster the collective scientific community has been warning about for literally decades now
The phrase of something being a lifetime ago exists for a reason.
You're changing mentally and physically all the time, especially when you're younger and going through so many phases of growing up.
String enough of those changes together and at some point you will effectively become a new person, only connected to the previous iterations by memories that you share.
The death of one interation and the beginning of another is bound to be a blurry mess, but you can see it clearly over a large enough span of time.
The same is true with the environment around you, and even the wider world. It goes through iterations just the same as we do because nothing stands still, even if we want it to.
I would discourage telling everyone to go to Lemmy.World as not only could it overload the server, the centralisation problem starts all over again.
The vast majority of instances are federated to all the big ones anyway, so I would recommend looking around to see if there are any instances that better fit your wants before going straight Lemmy.World. You won't lose anything from it, and you'll be supporting the wider fediverse.
Cool until you realise Grandma is senile and can't actually think beyond piecing together text they've seen before into what they think is a coherent response.
Those keys will absolutely not work, either because they've already been used and were scraped from training data, or they are fake keys generated based on said training data.
