I understand. Thank you!

Thanks for answering! I was more wondering what kind of issue DNS solved and why it was solved that way. Also if anyone thought of another solution.

I also read the history here (https://cyber.harvard.edu/icann/pressingissues2000/briefingbook/dnshistory.html), and it still seems pretty sketchy to me that the concern of website names being inaccessible to small businesses and such was solved with the ICANN. Didn’t this just make domain names into stuff you could speculate with? I may be tweaking rn, but I don’t think it’s necessarily right.

I’ve seen the crypto scams, unfortunately, which is basically what brought me to ask this question.

Is there a reason why they decided that domain names should be owned? Cause it kinda sounds like the metaverse, but older (like buying digital land and stuff). And idk, it just leaves a bad taste for me at least.

I meant more like did it have to be a central agreement for it to scale up to what it is now?

But why did everyone agree to that? Couldn’t domains be determined by user, or at least a bit more decentralized? (ex: google.com leads to IP address 1.1.1.1)

Yay, racism ;-;

I still have vert fond memories with Maplestory. Granted, I stopped because it was getting quite Grundy, but I still remember the stories for lv 1 to 100

I think there would be PR to put in good smell. Or maybe highjacking to put in a putrid smell. Either way, entertaining.

This ^

I should’ve asked the question earlier. Thank you so much!

Chances are they already did

Adorable! Cindy is my fav

There are a lot of Lemmy instances (or lemmies) out there. I don’t even know how many my self 😅.

Each instances are characterized by their set of rules and moderation styles. You can see them through join-lemmy.org/instances as well as their description. To see a user’s instance, just look at the domain after their username and the @.

Usually each instances can decide if they want to be able to interact with users and communities from a certain instance. That’s called being federated.

Sometimes tho they don’t think an instance’s userbase or community follows their rules, so they can decide to cut all interactions with them. That’s called being defederated.

The instance you are on, lemmy.world, is ironically, very US centered, and is the most popular instance. It’s defederated from hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml, so you will never see posts from them on lemmy.world unless it’s a screenshot or something.

Since I’m on lemmy.ml tho, I can see posts from lemmy.world, hexbear and lemmygrad.

The benifit of this is that each instance can curate their experience how they see fit. If you think a moderator is being too trigger-happy on an instance, or you don’t agree on how lenient they are (or whatever other reason), you can migrate to another instance. So let’s say you want to go to lemmy.ml (which I highly doubt you would, but just an example), you go into your account settings, export your data, create your lemmy.ml account and import it. Currently it doesn’t support importing comments, but the devs are working on it.

I’m not the best at explaining things, but I’m sure !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca could help.

Leftists on lemmygrad and hexbear don’t support Kamala. You’re on lemmy.world tho so I don’t blame you for not knowing.

Splatoon. The design, the music, the art, the gameplay and the idea was executed so well.

Read a lot, cite sources and explain thouroughly what you think.

I mostly use the last method. Basically, you want to make sure that the other person understands fully what you mean. You can use examples and anecdotes as well.

Training yourself in philosophy also helps, as it makes sure you argument well what you want to say.

Yeah this is a great guide, especially for clothing.

I’m so happy rn omg 😭

Welcome! Don’t feel shy to check out other instances than .ml or .world. Like dbzero, solarpunk and many more.

“It’s so over” or “joever”. Because yeah, it has never been so joever.

Also fanum taxing. It’s just funny sounding and I can’t figure out what it means.
