Expand and term limit SCOTUS. This system is ridiculous

Yeah I mean I think most people know that there are negative consequences that can happen, just like with any medical procedure. I’m just surprised by the fact that people might get a medical procedure then want to prevent all future people from getting it because they had a bad experience. Shows what I know about people.

Wow I’ve never heard of someone wanting to ban a medical procedure all together because they experienced an adverse effect of it. Thanks for the view into a psyche that I didn’t know about.

I’d like you to cite a source to back up that claim.

Yeah here’s a take that resonates with my cynicism about Republican politicians. They literally see it as a way to get more numbers in the long run because they know it disproportionally affects poor people (ei forces them to have more kids) and they know they can get those people to vote for them through other manipulation.

Seems like a pretty long con though right? The same cynicism tells me these politicians just care about short term wins.

I’m not basing my statement (about American sentiment) on what I see on the internet though! The polls and votes seem to support abortion access.

It’d be really nice if they clustered by instance. Then one could theoretically follow all politicians in their favorite party without having to look them up manually.

I don’t even know how to begin to figure this out. How many communities are there across every instance (or even just among those that are federated at all)?

The four-color theorem is pretty cool.

You can take any map of anything and color it in using only four colors so that no adjacent “countries” are the same color. Often it can be done with three!

Maybe not the most mind blowing but it’s neat.

Surely there is a way to effectively fill vacant government positions.

I know he says it’s pronounced “jif”, but I just don’t care. It’s like “gift” without the t

My other instance has been down for two days and I’m not sure where to go to see updates/discussion etc.

After browsing this community I saw a few scattered posts reporting other instances going down.

When Lemmy.World was down a week ago it was equally hard to find an explanation and/or a place to discuss what what happening.

Is there a community or website dedicated to “instance x is down because y”?

Theoretically speaking of course ;)

If my home instance gets hacked, what’s the worst case scenario for my personal data?

I heard that the All feed aggregates content from all communities that instance members have subscribed to, meaning if I subscribe to a new community, it’ll start showing up in everyone else’s All feed.

Let’s suppose I have an account on an instance with a particular thematic focus. Should I avoid subscribing to communities outside of that theme, in order to preserve the purity of their All feed?

Is it possible to automatically subscribe to all (federated) communities with the same name?

Example in the screenshot: I want to follow !astronomy, and I don’t really care whether the content is coming from from Lemmy.World, kbin.social and mander.xyz - I just want to see it all.

Obviously I could manually subscribe to them all, but is it possible to do so automatically? Ideally if a new similar community pops up on another instance, I wouldn’t miss it.

I read here that community grouping is a thing, so that instances with identical communities can work together. Is that a feature that could work towards this end?
