Many spiritual movements.

For a more modern assessment, have a look at Mark Viber's audio series "Where is my mind"

There is evidence that NDEs are real, the conclusion being that one's clnsdio9can leave the body.

Past live experiences have strong evidence.

Have a listen to the podcast and make up your own mind.

Wonder how Rick and Morty compares

FYI reincarnation exists. We're all fucked.

At least we can live in the real life set of Mad Max, which may be pretty cool for 5 min

Carl Sagan on reincarnation - https://thetattyjournal.wordpress.com/2021/03/25/the-astonishing-evidence-that-made-carl-sagan-believe-reincarnation-deserves-serious-study/

Is it still called summer after you have 200 days of over 35 degrees? And in "winter" the max temperature drops to 25?

Would you move co in ntries I'd this occured?

Is this the ddg browser? Are you seeing what it blocks through the browser or does it somehow block on the phone outside the browser like firewalls?

Ah, so it's a stupidity test.

"Instagram head Adam Mosseri said "

"“Soon, you’ll be able to follow and interact with people on other fediverse platforms, such as Mastodon. They can also find people on Threads using full usernames, such as @mosseri@threads.net.”"

“We’re committed to building support for ActivityPub, the protocol behind Mastodon, into this app. We weren’t able to finish it for launch given a number of complications that come along with a decentralized network, but it’s coming,” he said.

“If you’re wondering why this matters, here’s a reason: you may one day end up leaving Threads, or, hopefully not, end up de-platformed. If that ever happens, you should be able to take your audience with you to another server. Being open can enable that.”

Dude, you should see what a nice 2 gig episode of anythng looks like on a 70 inch dolby vision TV. It's worth the extra space. I download 40 gig movies if they are DV.

Sure. However, you can't trust meta, so anything that is done I hope has several failbacks and get-out clauses.

I think it is not-naive to assume that the ridiculously wealthy Meta, which is known to purchase smaller companies, has met with the much smaller mastodon and offered them money. It may be cynical, however it is not-naive.

As long as lemmy.world blocks it, it's not an issue - for us anyway, I hope. Though meta are devious - you need to be watchful.

That's exactly what I'm talking about when using the generic "soccer moms" - mainstream twitter/facebook posts.

I'm probably confusing myself as I have nothing against "normal people", and want them to discus sthings, and I'm sure there could be a lot of good discussions that could be had with "normal people", though being drowned by mainstream media posts is the main issue, as you say.

Mastodon and Lemmy are linked (you can see replies form mastodon users and posts), and if threads joins then we are all linked.

I have nothing against "soccer moms", I just don't want to see endless photos of their kids, which may be ironic since there's shitposting on all social networks. Perhaps we'd be able to ignore those communities, however it'll leak over to other communities.

It seemed to be "fine" when "those" sorts of "regular folk" stuck to facebook for their fix of sharing their lives.

Anyway, this aspect isn't the main point, I'd say - it's that one cannot trust facebook, and if they want to federate, it cannot be good for us.

Yes, that is why I'm asking the admins of lemmy.world if they are going to block it.

Also, this is the largest mastrodon server that is likely federating with threads, so not a small deal.

One concern would be:

1. Say Lemmy/kbin grows organically to 1 million users.
2. Threads federates, with 100 million users

Do you want these users flooding Lemmy? I don't want to be biased at the theoretical type of user on Threads, though if the right wingers/trolls/extremists migrate to Threads because they think it's "more open" then that may be an issue. If it's full of soccer moms posting pictures of their kids, or karens complaining about everything, that may be an issue.

Multiculturalism is great, I want to hear new ideas, though some areas are breeding grounds for lower-think, it seems. This probably sounds prejudiced or elitist.

I want to talk to the vanguard people who take the risk and are openminded and come to lemmy, not necessarily the "lemmings" who join facebook because they love facebook and don't want to, or can't, delve deeper into why facebook is one of the worst forces in media at the moment.

I am not prejudiced (I hope) against "regular people" and "soccer moms", though think that if 10 million soccer moms came here, the discussions may not be as... interesting, as they are.

Also, I don't know what lemmy instances will think about downloading masses of data from threads.

Adamsomething has a few videos on this
