Thanks!

Because people are used to it, and also because it features one of the largest music collections you can find. Same for other things it supports.

Are there other apps that support piefed, currently?

Nice! The more I hear about Piefed, the more I am inclined to check it out

Lemmy still relies on upvotes for ranking the feed, so, farming them makes sense, it’s just isolated per each post.

And I believe the issue might get worse as Lemmy grows. The reason Reddit came up with karma and all that is because the more people you have on your platform, the more baddies you have to account for.

For now, Lemmy is small enough for a basic interpersonal reputation to mostly just work, but as it grows, we need something else. Presumably, not karma.

Today I learned

My question is essentially as to why you use two systems at once

If you know what gram is, you can imagine a kilogram as well: the conversion is easy, measurements are consistent with each other and the entire world, and it makes it very clear both units are tied together and represent mass.

Is “grams per pound” really the way you say it?

Like, if you know the concept of gram, why do you need a pound?

That’s the point

There are two types of thinking about it:

1. There is no point in living. We are doomed to get into the grave, and eventually be forgotten forever.
2. There is no point in living. No higher order, no higher purpose, no higher authority. We are free to live our lives, to explore, to insert any meaning whatsoever into it. We are forging our own destiny.
