  • It’s something I find kind of amusing about Catholicism.

    Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

    I mean to me the whole concept of the catholic religion believing this is one of the 10 commandments. Then simultaneously praying in front of crucifixes or Virgin Mary statues etc…

    I mean Jesus you could half way go with assuming trinity and considering him god… but it explicitly says “in heaven” and doesn’t give any kind of “except of me”.

    Actually something kind of funny to me, it says “in heaven”, “on earth” or “in the waters below earth”. Assuming christian theology… the biggest exception that comes to my mind… is things that are in hell.








  • Yeah I don’t oppose the toggles, just seeing the unintended consequence. IE if most users disable accounts under 1 week old… then most new users will think no one looks at their posts… and give up, before they have a chance to learn that’s what’s going on. It’s kind of the fear because it’s not those who use the setting that actually see the negative consiquence, besides the possibility of no growth in the platform as a whole (due to people leaving discouraged).


  • I mean I could see it, obviously moderators wouldn’t use it. Idea is of course is bad actors will get banned or bored after a certain amount of time. Of course if it’s not basing it on amount of posts or some level of activity, then that may just cause trolls to bulk produce accounts, and start using them as they hit a certain age.

    When you do it by activity, then you run into the side problem. IE say someone is introduced to lemmy because there’s a community focused on a specific topic they need help on. People create an account, post for help… but get no replies because obviously they haven’t hit the activity threshold so, they effectively start out shadowbanned. They assume the lack of responses is because the communities aren’t active and don’t stick around long enough to figure it out.









  • That’s probably the scariest thought of immortality. Living normal life is one thing… hell most the things are just… more of the good and bad. But yeah over the course of thousands of years, the million to one scenerios that could get you trapped. (landslides, earth quakes, building collapses, swept out to sea, intentional “murder” (IE an enemy knows he can’t kill you, so he entombs, burries you etc…)
