I don’t know how you’d measure driving “goodness”, but I expect the distribution would be something like exponential (there are billions of non-drivers, and only a few rally/stunt drivers). So the average is likely to be higher than the median.

This is hilarious

Any instance that interacts with any other instance is federated. Which is the vast majority of instances with more than a handful of users.

Is the same not true of Lemmy?

Mastodon federation is not opt-in. As soon as anyone on one server is following one person on the other server, the servers are fully federated. From there, it’s opt-out, via blocking.

That’s nonsense. I’m on one of the main servers, and like 90% of my feed is from other servers, and it includes lots of small servers. And that’s been true for years.

It’s try the search function was bad prior to earlier this year, but it’s improved a bit. And if you are looking for someone specific, then presumably their account would be listed somewhere on their website?

Everything you just said is also true of mastodon.

Mastodon is scaling fine though? I’ve been using it for years, and it’s great, and still growing. User base is a bit tech focused, could be more general, but I think it’ll get there eventually.

Wednesday. I’ve been doing that for years. It’s nice because it feels relaxing and still part of the work week, so still productive.

I can usually swap it for a Monday or Friday with a week or so’s notice, if I want to take a long weekend some time.

Also I get more public holidays than if I took Monday off.

Not really. Many of them are already heavily invested in life extension tech (not that I think it will work, but it means they’re optimistic). I think their general worldview is that technology will fix it, at least for them.

I mean, I guess you have the name for it

I say “good luck” in a non-sarcastic tone to people whenever they head off on some banal errand. It gets some confused looks sometimes, laughs others.

That’s a lot of people, I doubt you have the stamina

This is my favourite too. I have a very sesquipedalian friend, and I had the honour of introducing him to the word.

It literally promises to generate content, but I think the implied promise is that it will replace parts of your workforce wholesale, with no drop in quality.

It’s that last bit that’s going to be where the drama happens

Lolwut? Didn’t realise they were serving ads on maps too, that’s hectic
