Thanks for the reply.

Naive question probably - which of these platforms would get a new creator the biggest audience?

At least this should finally put the ‘Chinese can’t innovate, they can only copy’ meme into retirement.

I’m glad this means AI’s power will become more decentralized internationally. Who would have thought it was China responsible for that?

Asteroid ejecta from Mars has reached Earth so many times, we can assume the opposite has happened too. So if Mars was warm and wet, it seems likely it was seeded with life from Earth. This suggests another question, did life on Earth arrive from elsewhere via this method?

While laboratory testing like this is important, I’m really keen to know what effect the microplastics in our everyday environment are actually having. It’s one thing to inject laboratory mice and observe results. But we all know microplastics are absolutely everywhere, what are they doing to humans now ?

Trumpism will pass, and gasoline cars go the way of the horse and buggy. The US will just take longer to catch up with the rest of the world’s progress.

I don’t know if its what you are looking for but futurology.today is the fediverse sibling (same Mods) as r/futurology on Reddit.

(Disclaimer I’m a Mod on it & the subreddit)

Thanks, we’ll keep track of what they are doing.

I misphrased, they are an Admin/Op, and essential.

would it be enough to have those rules in place, and when reported actively remove the content as a mod?

We’re pretty good with daily moderating of of content on futurology.today, so I’d be confident we could cover that aspect.

However I’m wondering about federation issues. Are we liable for UK users who use their futurology.today account to access other instances we don’t mod?

the problem is that the guidance is too large and overbearing.

This.

Who gets to decide what “self-harm” is? There’ll be some busybodies who’ll say that any remotely positive messaging for LGBTQ youth is ‘self-harm’ for them.
