Well, to sum it up, it’s a bunch of servers acting together like a big decentralised social media. They connect thanks to activitypub, and it’s quite amazing.

Here’s a good illustration, i think

For exemple, one can see your profile here from lemmy: lemmy.ml/u/camille_jamal but also from mastodon: https://mas.to/@Camille_Jamal@lemmy.ml/ And even from misskey! https://misskey.io/@camille_jamal@lemmy.ml

Even though thoses three fedi services have very differents interfaces and ways of working, they can communicate thanks to activitypub.

If you check c/fediverse@lemmy.world, you’ll see a bunch of useful links about the fediverse in their description.

I see you’re banned, hope you’ll still get my message, and that your ban is temporary… anyway have a nice day.

You can block users or communities, or you can effectively join other instances. I heard good from lemmy.dbzer0.com and lemmy.sdf.org, but it’s best to just go on join-lemmy.org or fediverse.party and finding an instance you resonate with.

(Oh yes, in case you didn’t know, the fediverse is not limited to lemmy, and is a huge system of many protocols and systems)

On federated social media, things changes very fast, and you will probably move to another instance from time to time. On the first hand, small instance are chill, they can be quite dead sometimes, but that’s where you will find peace from politics. On the other hand, big instances are active, but get sometimes involved in useless drama, and that’s where it often gets political.

Lemmy.ml, I know it, is a bit annoying on some terms, like the sensorship of some swears like “motherfucker” or of chinese criticism, but they haven’t been bothering me so i didn’t really leave. They are federated to a lot of instances and that’s a good point. Am also on a very small server with a dozen of people, there are plenty of servers like that if you dig a bit.

Well idk why did i wrote that much, hope it’ll be useful at least, and that the swear won’t get me banned.

See ya cyberspace anon!

You can say anything, but always better to have an account on two or three politically different instances in case you want to critisize USA, China, or any controversial thing in the world.

But if you ain’t an asshole, you’re welcome! Have a nice journey into the fediverse!

In Drake of The 99 Dragons, each time you die, (which happens often), you get roasted and humiliated by some gods in the after life for 10 seconds before they allow you to revive again. This has absolutely no reason to be here, except for doubling the loading screen time.

Could also mention, in the 6th installment of Touhou Project, Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, if you play on easy, the game won’t even let you fight the final boss, mocking your pride on such simple level, and this game mode is usually commented as child play by the games in the whole franchise.

Every so often, teleport some random person who is alone in its location 3000 meter beyond the floor, and let them fall until they’re about 100 meter high, to then slow them down and put them back where they were as if nothing happened.

Would be interesting to see how such thing would be viewed by society as the number of reports would grow.

Anime is quite tied to video game, so interesting question. I know only few anime coming from visual novels adaptations (clannad), video game references (about 3/4 of isekais i’ve seen, but except for this genre, it’s pretty rare), or just promotional anime for games (pokémon). So without video games, we would still have all of the series focusing on others things, in addition to movies, like some from Ghibli which had a lot of influence and are definitely part of culture.

On the other hand, anime never existing would basically mean the artstyle itself never existed in the first place, so no Osamu Tezuka to introduce it, or a Japan which never recovered from war. That would mean Atari still crashing in 83, but no famicom to introduce video game consoles as we know it, so it is probable the world would have stayed for arcades and computer video gaming for a long time.

My argumentations seem favorable for anime, but i’d still pick video games, even if about half of my steam library would then cease to exist. I like interacting stories most of all.

I guess manga and light novels doesn’t count either huh?

I’d just give a LGM-118A Peacekeeper MIRV to the Aztecs and say nothing more. I wonder if they would eventually manage to do something with it.

Looked up on an encyclopedia, i admit i have been actually confusing communism with communalism, or communism at its primal sense. I had the idea that communism is the abolishment of private property and the equal repartition of remuneration between people, wether they work hard or not. Kind of like the functionning of ants. Simply got this idea from high school honestly (heh).

Though, if communism is only about collectivised production and distribution, i can see why it would be interesting to successfully implement it.

Honestly, i haven’t got a good enough knowledge of political alignments yet to be able to answer your question correctly, thank you for making me understand that. Do you reccomand any reads/authors who approached this topic?

Because pure communism breaks as soon as you have more than a few hundreds of people living together, in my opinion.

We are not ants, and we as a specie are doing things more for ourselves than for others.

A hypothetical society wanting to approach to the closest version of communism would need to be terribly authoritarian and selective, and would be very vulnerable to non workers pushing down the economy. To live in communism means to not let freedom to the workers. It is as unsustainable as fordism.

Aigh’t, while i don’t believe in the premise of communism in human civilisation, i think socialism, without it getting over the freedom of people, is one of the way to ensure the future of humanity.

I believe a balanced amount of anarchism and socialism can, for a medium sized population, be good and sustainable on the long run.

Tho to be honest, i don’t know enough in politics to say an answer.

I was going to say fourside, but you beat me to it, and the emptiness of it definitely played on the feeling of largeness.

There’s also Castellia city in pokemon b&w, the people wandering and the 3d buildings made it look like a real city, alive and busy.

Idk if it counts, but in Professor Layton, when i didn’t know what to do, i would desperately walk across the locations of the city and then realise it’s quite big for there to be buses and streets.

About 19 undecillion should be enough

Go to the fediring, and start exploring! The 8831 will be your guides. They have been expecting you.

3 and 5 can be overpowered if the superpower has no cooldown or limit

2, 7, 8 can assure you big wealth in some jobs

1, 4, 6 doesn’t appear to be very useful, and having a second nose could be quite inconvenient on the forehead, in the armpit or above the arse, while being very parasocial

9: While i think running at the speed of albert einstein relative to the earth would be kind of meh, i would reconsider if it is Albert’s running speed relative to the moon

As a person from pacific, we could choose between Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, and the local austronesian language, in addition to mandatory english, for high school.

Pacific economy relies a lot on tourism, and it mainly comes from Asia or America, so knowing how to talk to tourists can be handy.

Gotta say, nobody knows this game and rare are thoses who even played it, can it even be considered as a video game track, but i will say the first theme from Irisu Syndrome!

No matter how i think about it, my guess would be that an “accidental conciousness” inside a neural network would be very different and very far from our kind of conciousness.

We inherited a large part of our reasoning from animal instincts and life. We like water, we know what water is, we can see water, we can touch water, we can doubt on the edibility of water, we can recognise the sound of flowing water, and this sound even gives us a feeling of comfort.

What concepts would a sentient neural network even be familliar with? It doesn’t see, smell, touch, ear, taste, it doesn’t have the feeling of stress, pain, boredom, joy, the thoughts it would potentially have would be very different from its training material, and would inevitably be very far from our common sense. How would it want to enter in contact with us, if it has no interface with the real world? How would it even understand its situation, or start a reasoning at all if it doesn’t get any concepts of reality?

I think the only way a digital consciousness would even exist would be directly from human intent. If we design a cyber brain, inject emotions, feelings, concepts, self-awareness and will, this is probably the only way to get something conscious relatively close to our way of reasoning, and with a maybe humane will of dominating the world and destroy humans because they are a threat for themselves.
