This is a popular claim but dubious and probably not true https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/40275/do-elephants-see-humans-the-same-way-humans-see-puppies

Excellent answer :)

I did play the original many, many years ago. I was thinking of trying it again recently…

Unrelated to this but worth noting that Sync will be broken in the soon to come 1.0 update for Lemmy. The dev for Sync is awol. Might be worth checking out the other apps like Boost for Lemmy, Summit, Thunder, Jerboa, etc.

No, but you can export your data/subscriptions through your settings, sign up on another instance and import it. But moving posts/comments over, no.

In the US I think busses are generally associated with the bottom of society, so not the customer you want. Just my interpretation

Crusader Kings 3 is a grand strategy game that has some pantheon-related mechanics. e.g as a Hindu you can choose your personal God. There are mods that expand on this somewhat.

It’s not really the primary focus of the game though and doesn’t play a heavy role beyond additional stats.

The real, most simple answer is: you wouldn’t, at least not unless we shift into a world where there are significantly less languages.

Any world government would have to contend with the reality that the world is full of multiple languages. So a number of lingua francas would be chosen as the “official languages” - either the most spoken or the most politically important (probably one and the same).

The idea to create some sort of apolical, unproblematic language just isn’t realistic. If it was, it would’ve already occurred on a mass scale. You could just as easily paint an artificial language in a negative light as you have with English: any artificial language would be taking up the place of a real, authentic language and imposing itself onto peoples who do not speak it (language imperialism of an artificial kind isn’t much better).

Besides, translators are only getting better and better and we already have a number of multi-national institutions that function fine despite the number of languages at play (e.g the EU).

Warning, Sync seems abandoned and some features are broken, e.g read posts don’t stay hidden. I’d recommend Boost, Summit, Jerboa, or Thunder

Go into your settings and stick the “hide read posts” option on for improved browsing.

There’s uh, lots more than 2. It’s similar to how there’s English English and Nigerian English, just dialectical differences - some more major than others.

Lol people have been “ditching” Firefox for various reasons for years. If you can barely get people to ditch Chrome, good luck with making some ff fork relevant.

I subscribe to mostly Lemmy.world instances,

you subscribe to communities on the lemmy.world instance. Ultimately, lemmy.world doesn’t exist without the efforts of the developers behind Lemmy, so that’s definitely more important imo.

All of the above, but dating apps is likely the majority

I think it comes down to the US being tolerant because winning hearts and minds was more important than destroying Opium. The Taliban has no such qualms.

Worth noting however than this source is questionable and probably shouldn’t be used https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/mint-press-news/

iirc, Hexbear was using their own unique fork of Lemmy (with unique features) for a long time and only recently, they’ve tried to close that gap and come closer to the main Lemmy branch. This history probably results in quirks like this.

Just FYI, you can sync up subscriptions far easier using tools like LASIM

It isn’t instantaneous, it takes time for them to sync up
