green is just a chromacuck and wouldn’t get it
TIL! pinging @Soullioness@lemmy.world to see if they’re active and/or have thoughts.
cuz yeah my most recent callout post went to !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone and a lot of people got really upset at me for being “off topic” 😓 (it was effective btw, yay!)
well, we all know everyone who does science speaks english 🤷♀️
edit: /s
Do we know the root of the history behind this? Were there any genuine reasons or minds behind it or was it reactionaryism, plain and simple?
i’m jerking their chains🤣
Yeah, my good buddy is from Genovia, where they use a regional version of the periodic table with more human-friendly names. They use Ca for calcium, Ir for iron, Hy for hydrogen, and Ox for oxygen. This change was their answer to the metric system—a way to make science more accessible to everyone ostensibly I believe.
Back in the 1960s, Gennovia was looking to bolster its local industry and economy. The government decided that simplifying scientific terms would help more people get into science and technology fields. It seems to be working because their literacy rates in science are through the roof? Somehow. They even have Ni for nickel and Si for silver, making it so much easier to remember what’s what. I didn’t know it was prevalent enough that it made its way onto package branding tho. Interesting stuff.
it would ruin the tour

ah understandable! thanks for sharing your thoughts and hope you can get some rest :)
Hmm it almost seems like you are responding to a different post? I didn’t really say much about timeliness here. :) This is more about corrupt or inappropriate moderation activity.
Nope not really that wouldn’t be good for my health (:
Appreciate the effort in responding, but I count 20 instances that defederate yours, covering several thousand users. That kind of hobbles the functionality of this as a concept. :/
Yeah, I suppose my idea of a decentralized accountability sublemmy would just help make that process a little more efficient.
Obviously it’s still rough and a mess but I think it’s a fair enough decentralized fit-in for Reddit’s centralized moderation authority.
This would be a perfect solution I think, if most major mods and subs weren’t hosted on .world and .ml.
The conflict of interest is real and intense; I have been told directly that certain problematic .world mod activity cannot be addressed because the mods in question are close friends with instance admins.
Thanks for your thoughts :)
These are valid concerns that could certainly prove problematic without further insight. :) Thanks for sharing.
yeah, 3 day ban from !politicalmemes@lemmy.world for commenting (a lot) under my own post :)
how dare you flex in the face of my suffering :(
I also love that they say it’s “not very funny,” conceding it’s a little funny but still worth mod action anyway
