Trying not to spoil it but this is a plot point in a relatively famous, relatively recent sci-fi book, where the characters need to record a warning that lasts for millennia. They end up carving it into the rock of Pluto since all other data mediums would fail over that timespan.

    hello, mod here! I'm not that active on Lemmy these days so if you want to take over this community and migrate it elsewhere then that would be fine. I keep an eye out for reports etc but I don't really post here anymore.

    Given there are already 5k subs here, I would say it makes more sense to add active moderators rather than try and move the community.

    I also recall we advertised for more mods recently and didn't get much response, so really what we need is a very active mod willing to build up this community. If moving to another instance is the best way to do that, great.

    Why do you think they do? Logically think it through.

    Market sharen and incumbent advantage. Ease of adoption (or appearance of). Ubiquity and lack of need to retain. Predatory behaviour by MS. Different priorities for users.

    Unless you actually consider the real reasons why Windows is so widespread you'll never make a dent in it.

    what the fuck makes phone apps so cocky as to send me notifications telling me to use it. my grocery list app straight up went "you havent made a list in a while!" are you out of your fucking mind. you are a program. why are you speaking to me like youre my equal. i could replace you with a pen and the back of a receipt. idiot. i kill you now

     

    Hey all, I've not been putting as much time into Lemmy as I thought I would, so I'm requesting applications for new mods! There isn't really anything to do in terms of reactive moderation, there's almost never any reports etc, but a proactive approach to growing the community, encouraging posts, and all that sort of thing would be great.

    Let me know below if you are interested!
