  • Since they are treating them as others (foreigners/strangers), Israel is messing up, even from a religious view:

    Leviticus 19 (KJV) 33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. 34 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

    Or if you prefer NIV 33 "'When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. 34 The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.










  • Short answer, it’s traffic.

    If you want an imperfect and unofficial guestimate, here goes:

    Lemmy.world has 2.48K users / day

    According to Statistica “in April 2023 approximately 1.7 billion visits”, so dividing 1,700,000,000/30 = 56,666,666.6667 as an average per day.

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/443332/reddit-monthly-visitors/

    Yes, there’s probably days with higher traffic (likely weekends), but this gives us an idea of visits.

    56,666,666/2,840 = 19,953.0514085

    So every single post here would be nearly 20K posts to Reddit, because Reddit has about 20K times more visits in a day using that one month as a baseline. It’s probably not perfectly accurate, but it’s a number to work with.

    I visited https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/ and saw 15 posts from today. I’ll use that as an unofficial average.

    19953.0514085 / 15 = 1,330.20342723 (number of days)

    1330.20342723 / 365 = 3.64439295132 (number of years)

    If you get 1 post every 3 and half years, you’re keeping up with Reddit.

    Off-topic:

    I just saw the mascot redesign and wow. Just wow. Not in a good wow way.













  • “Effectively Random” how? Every culture using a shape to represent a letter sound for more than 2,000 years have structured their sequence.

    I. We have given letters a hierarchy since early times. Christ said he was the Alpha and Omega, meaning the beginning and end, as those were the first and last letters in the Greek alphabet. This structure was true then and now.

    II. If your argument is that we could have chosen to place the letters in some other sequence, well, we didn’t have alphabetical order until we placed the letters in to some sequence. If we “randomly chose” a different sequence, then that sequence would have been our alphabetical order. The Greek Z is Zeta, not Omega.

    We use the Phoenician Alphabet, so alphabetical order applies to that sequence, not the Greek Alphabet. They don’t end on Zeta.




  • I have posted correct information like that on Reddit and have been downvoted for providing sourced information. That really discourages my participation. Why try?

    I have to brag on Lemmy.world.

    This place is friendlier, and a much better place to interact with others. Oh, there’s still a down-vote brigade, but it’s much smaller.

    Reddit may still have a huge user base, but it’s becoming facebook-esque; that is, people go to it because they know it, and nothing else. This place is so much better.
