With observational incident reports you can only get a list of symptoms and a very rough range of exposure. If you want something more detailed than that, you need a proper LD50 study.

That is true. The demon core comes to mind as an extreme example. Also, Hisashi Ouchi paid a horrendous price in 1999.

Same goes for chemical safety. How do we know what the effects of mercury, lead, ammonia or sulfur dioxide are on humans? Tragic things have happened in the past, and the survivors just documented the results.

Future economists are going to love this time period. It's basically a goldmine for papers, articles and books about the effects tariffs have. Sure, we have that sort of history already, but this time it's very well documented. Current online economy has so many new numbers you can track. You should be able to look at the data and tell exactly what went wrong and how it was reflected on everything.

You know, some cultures are not ok with nudity like this. In those places, you give children the respect and privacy they deserve.

Also synchronization could become an issue. On the other hand I would really like to see how robust activity pub is. Can it actually handle large scale federation like this.

That kind of growth would probably require many new instances too. I don’t think the current ones could handle 1000x load.

I like the current vibe. If Lemmy grew suddenly 10x, I’m sure some of that small place energy would be lost.

Yeah it’s getting completely ridiculous. Also, video essays about movies have to dodge copyright scans by resorting to super aggressive editing and visual trickery that basically just ruins the whole video. On PT, they could make much nicer videos.

Yeah that’s a better pair as far as censorship is concerned. On YT, you need to dance around sensitive topics as if you’re talking to a child.

However, as there are more viewers on the bigger platform, abandoning that place doesn’t happen so easily. It’s basically like Facebook all over again. Isn’t there a term for this type of inertia…

Why not both? As far as I can tell, only Nebula originals are restricted to just one platform. Everything else is in two places. I think you could totally play the same game with a PT+Nebula combo.

Yeah, that’s just a shorter way to say: “open hostility, verbal assault, hate speech, various kinds of unethical or even criminal activity, and general online nastiness”.
