  • they can harass you by continually sending you replies for WEEKS and WEEKS at a time (this actually happened to me twice, once with hexbear.net and another time with lemmygrad.ml).

    Honestly you really shouldn’t be on an instance that federate with those places to start with.

    You may be interested to read some of the ways that PieFed is advancing democratization of moderation.

    Personally I’m not a fan of the way PieFed uses upvotes and downvotes to basically do statistics on users in order to profile “bad actors”. That feels like karma from Reddit all over again.

    There can be many legitimate reasons why a user might downvote a lot, and a user being downvoted a lot is not necessarily problematic. They may just not be following the “hive mind”, and honestly we could use more of those users.












  • Hmm don’t really agree, as you can observe different parts of space on different time periods due to light’s finite speed and time dilation and such. Not all parts of space are at the same time simultaneously. Also, relativity tells us that the state you observe is different from the state of another observer. So you can’t really write this number of the universe down (or at least, you can only write your own personal number down but it won’t be the same as anyone else’s number).





  • How do you find people who are interested in long-term relationships online?

    In my experience, this is rare. Most people who meet others online started as friends with some common interest. I met my wife like this. It was never with the intention of a long term relationship, we were just friends online. We knew each other as friends for 2 years before getting together.

    I would recommend DnD (or other games) as others have suggested too.

    Also this is kind of random and I have no idea if it is a good idea, but maybe try https://duolicious.app/ - I saw it randomly the other day and your post reminded me of it.
