    It’s not X so 👍.
    I rarely used Twitter before the Musk takeover, only to follow a handful of authors I like for updates about their books and a few people who did aerospace updates, unfortunately most of them jumped on the BlueSky train instead of the Mastodon bus, and I’m not going to have an X account so BlueSky it is.


  • Those results might be slightly skewed by alternate accounts. When I first joined during the Reddit Exodus I created this account on lemmy.world, but the instance suffered a LOT of downtime for the first month or so, so I created a few other accounts on lemmy.ml and sh.itjust.works so I could still browse while lemmy.world was down.
    After the instance stabilized I pretty much stopped using the other accounts, so I, personally, am 2 of the people who “left” by leaving the other accounts inactive.


  • It’s almost a miracle that Artemis still exists given the different administrations that started its different parts.

    My only explanation on why it hasn’t been cancelled yet would be that China is well on their way to the moon too. And this time it isn’t about national prestige, or science, it’s about establishing a foothold on the nearest source of untapped resources.
    Routine visits to and from the moon aren’t too far off and getting resources from the moon to the earth might even be easier than mining the ocean floor, because that’s arguably a more hostile and less forgiving environment than space itself.



  • Most of the resistance to it on Reddit was because NSFL content was technically not allowed on the site at all and adding a specific tag for NSFL material could be seen at legitimizing it. But they didn’t heavily moderate it either so I don’t see the point in refusing a tag for it if they’re not going to do anything about it themselves either.
    What really blows my mind though is the subset of people that want a NSFW tag to mean Gore/Death and a separate PORN tag for titties and such. I mean, we already have established terms for those so why not stick with what everyone already knows them by?
