I could be mistaken but I believe the hypothesis is that at one point the universe had an average temperature and matter distribution (pressure) to make it so that in most or at least a large portion of the universe it was significantly easier for organic molecules to start forming including the building blocks of DNA and then when it cooled/expanded some of that organic matter made its way to earth to eventually turn into life.

Are we in the V for vendetta timeline now?

Welcome new lemmy users!

I'm not worried about seeing their content, that's something I can control. I'm worried that these trolls are going to get us defederated from the majority of lemmy. That is not something I can control, and it would suck to have to look for a new instance, make a new account, and redo all my subscriptions just because a bunch of red hats decided to make this server their home base for some reason. I don't want to be associated with them, so if they stay and we get defederated, I'm probably going to have to leave, even though I have so far liked this community.

Or top day

Let's just, not give OP the attention they are toxicly seeking, ok?

I have no way to prove this story since I burned my reddit account, but I might as well share: when I was checking out lemmy for the first time I got both a beehaw and a lemmy.ml account(both were a pain to wet up) and both had serious reliability issues(this was right after the API announcement). I was looking on reddit to try and find more info about other instances then I found a comment chain with a couple of guys, one said he had a server, the other said he had the domain itjust.works and was looking for a subdomain. I though about it for a moment, and in a moment of sheer smartassery I suggested sh.itjust.works. not long after I saw in the comment chain that they went with my suggestion and put the server up lmao. At that point I knew they were chill, so I made an account on here as soon as I saw that it had gone up, and it's been rock solid ever since.

Edit: as @TheDude and others have pointed out, this happened here on the lemmy.ml instance, not reddit. It seems my memory is at fault lmao. I'm going to keep the rest of this comment unedited because its a good story anyways, but yea, I was wrong about where it happened. I'm glad I was wrong tho since i t means I still have that account, lol.

u/spez fired, paid API policy reversed, NSFW policy change reversed, public apology to christian and all reddit users promoting lemmy who got banned + compensation for defamation, all decisions regarding site administration and API policy permanently democratized, so that this shit never happens again, make the whole thing open source.

I don't expect a single thing on my list to happen, but everything on that list would have to happen before I considered returning.

true enough, but I don't think i'm going to care that much as long as the community stays big enough to stay somewhat active. I feel much more engaged in the community here than I ever did on reddit.

When you say "this site", do you mean lemmy in general, or lemmy.ml(your home instance)? Because lemmy in general DOES allow nsfw content, its just that no one (to my current knowledge) had been willing to start+moderate a NSFW instance yet. If you think you are up to it, you are more than welcome to spin up your own instance. Just remember you still have to follow all the laws regarding server hosting where you live(or where the server is hosted maybe? Idk I'm not a lawyer).

At the risk of upsetting people, most if not all religions. They can't all be right.

I just ran powerdelete suit on my reddit accounts and replaced all of my posts/comments with ones urging users to join lemmy. I was going to wait until July 1rst but if reddit is going to get that serious, then so am I. I am OUT!
