  • Two years for me, too. But I disagree that it’s nicer than on Reddit. The way Lemmy works fosters the development of cliques. Also, with much fewer users it makes it so that ‘power’ users wind up having a weird cult-like following that boosts their posts/comments and suppresses anyone who dares to point out when those people mistreat other people and/or break the rules that are clearly applied selectively.



  • Think of it this way: if solar-flare magnetic aberrations could be strong enough to make an effect on humans, then they would also affect other things that are far more sensitive to magnetic fields.

    For example, a VHS tape, audio cassette tape, or an HDD computer hard drive (they store data on spinning magnetic plates) would be erased or at least damaged when exposed to a normal household magnet.

    Additionally, if you consider the argument that somehow humans are even more sensitive, then a normal household magnet would cause similar symptoms as the claims of Heliobiology and we would see much worse with stronger sources of magnetic fields like an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) which could even pull a metal chair across the room.














  • The fact this is not coming from @[email protected] themselves is another big piece of evidence of their inability to maintain a good relationship or even just a good line of communication with the community and people who pay/paid for the app/subscription.

    I’ve defended them in the past for falling short of this sort of thing in the past, but at this point it’s inexcusable.

    In my opinion, I think they need to hang it up and move on from Sync. They need to stop stringing people along. Or at least bring on another developer that can help move things along faster and maintain communication and expectations with the community.
