It doesn’t? Something with 1000ms is going to be less responsive than 100ms geographically closer, though I don’t know how much it varies.

I assume that me, being the the US, will have a significant enough high ping by being on an instance that’s hosting in Finland. I never used the wrong terminology, just was asking about how to find the lowest ping — I only said I was trying to find the lowest ping because lemmy.world’s servers are shutting the bed. I can see where the extrapolation comes from though, didn’t make it clear enough.

I realize. I just wanted to make a new account with the lowest ping instance while the server is upgraded at lemmy.world

Yea ended up choosing a pretty popular one near me, hopefully they don’t shut down or something though. Thanks!

Ever see the movie Elysium?

I think we could definitely be moving towards that kind of world, maybe without the literal rich person spaceship, but with AI defended compounds and AI controlling the population so their position in power could never be threatened again.

They are on the same “network”, but that only means they use the same format to exchange messages. It does not mean that they work well together. The Lemmy UI is much better suited for posts with large discussion threads.

Basically you can treat them as separate for all intents and purposes.

Man is the future just going to be eternal rent, Florida & Cuba under water, and everlasting haze from fires from across the world?

Yea it really wouldn’t matter other than having religious dogma change or about what happens after death.

It’s more of an interesting thought experiment about the seemingly minuscule chances of life forming and us being/experiencing life.

Not sure why people care so much, they are only hurting themselves and the communities hosted on their insurance — way more than the damage to .ml or .world

Yea there were already earlier reports of this so no surprise here. Imagine not only dying for a useless war, but your government covers up your death and countless others to avoid paying your family some scraps of useless rubles.

Especially considering another instance will just make a new one in order to popularize it instead, even if it’s not .world which is shaping up to be the “main” instance

Hate to break it to ya but that’s just your UI from whatever app you’re using; you definitely have a “karma” score / upvote score, currently at 47 comment upvotes total.

As long as your instance is federated with other instances you should be able to upvote/downvote/interact with any other instance’s comments, posts, etc.

You probably were trying to do so with a beehaw.org instance which was recently defederated from most other Lemmy instances

Yeah wefwef is a near perfect recreation (atleast for all the things I used to do personally), with only occasional freezes when scrolling.

It could probably use a name change to be more marketable though too.

Yea it’s definitely not intrinsically bad and is a good way for 99% of communities to gauge a post’s quality.

Random comment arguments where feelings get hurt over downvoted does not mean the upvote/downvote system is bad.

I want to see high upvoted posts on my feed, not the 90% garbage of new posts based on Reddit experience.
