Mastodon has like zero comments on any news source i follow.

Maybe because the technical people there are more concerned about their privacy and bot spam there and do not post for that reason?

What I try to explain: by posting on this platform about your topic(s) of interest you potentially dox yourself already.

Your writing style and word frequency table allow doxing yourself without even realizing it 🕵.

The giant tree of Elbaph is not named Yggdrasil but Adam tree, as Loki confirmed to us this chapter! So the wood the straw hats pirate ship "Sunny" was made off comes from this island. How did Franky get wood from Elbaph from the black market in Water 7? This may be connected to Shanks setting up his base in Elbaph?

I am gonna kill that jerk as soon as I am out of these chains. ~ Loki chp. 1131

Anyone who expects Loki to not be a Villain after this: why?

Loki is tied to the trunk of Ygdrasil? Looks cool, metal.

am I the only one who would advocate for text only storage: no. This comment also gets my point? There should be text only lemmy instances which only save text and do not allow any kind of image posting or storage.

• text is less offensive to consume and moderate than evil images or video
• text is way more information dense and can be even compressed more! Truly the green biosphere friendly data format. I would be willing to save text only data of strangers on my hard-drive, but not images or video. Could even be valuable llm analysis training data.

Yes people could post base64 encoded images, but that is a larger technical barrier and can be detected. If image storage is really need, images should be heavily compressed (webp 90% quality loss), provided as links to external sites, and whenever possible svg / vector graphics should be preferred.

Wow, I did not know about Operation Epsilon. Thanks.

no! Have we already reached peak lemmy?

Rome defeated their greatest rival Carthago in their formative years. Hannibal, a general of Carthago, tried to cross the Alps with elephants and made a surprise attack on the roman heartland 🐘🏔️. But it failed.

tldr: Pagan Mongol tribes

I theorize: Nomadic mongol tribes (horsemen who used bow and arrow to hunt 🏇🏹) converted quite quickly to the religion of the people they conquered. But the Mongols where mostly pagan shamanistic tribes in the beginning (they believed in the Sky god Tengri) and transferred some of their culture into ruling elites of their subject countries and killed many monotheistic farmers people greatly altering east asian and central asian demographics at a scale of 40.000.000 people 💀. Also the Mongol conquests acted as a buffer that kept Islam or Orthodox Christianity spreading beyond central asia into east asia for 500 years:

• Mongol tribes captured Moscow and beyond, preventing orthodox Christianity to expand to China faster
• Mongol empire captured the Chinese capital Beijing. Maybe their shamanistic believes influenced locals.
• Timurid (emperor Timur was grandson of Mongol Ghengis Khan) empire only expanded west not to China by their luck. They defeated mostly muslim empires like Persians and Ottomans. This prevented larger muslim expansion into east Asia. Even Europeans viewed the muslim timurids as a great threat, but also as a ally against Persian and Ottoman empires.
• The siege of Baghdad in the year 1258 by the Mongol empire with Chinese siege-craft destroyed the Muslim "golden age" destroying a chance of their expansion to east asia

Additional theory: Shamanistic Mongol tribe invasions might have deeply altered the subconscious of the religious people they annexed in central Asia/Eastern russia and Persia, what is known that they replaced the ruling elites and subtly influenced hierarchy to make taxation easier.

Don't the Scottish men wear short skirts? But they seem rather the exception than the rule. Maybe the native Americans also wore skirts of some kind, or sometimes nothing at all.
