Your comment made this post so much funnier than it already was 🤣

Why ID 85347 in particular?

As a kbin user, I’m really excited about Artemis.

I would claim actual free speech absolutists don’t exist.

Musk is a proponent of near-absolute free speech

Anything goes, so long as it doesn’t hurt his feelings personally

Does he? Is that even possible?

The difference is that rather than just having no expectation of privacy against recording (Reddit model), in federated space you are guaranteed an official subtitled hologram with sound is recorded by design and shipped to other town squares all over the world and shown. And you have no expectation that you’ll be able to convince those town squares to delete theirs once they have it and basically no chance to if your own town square is bulldozed or your town has gotten into a feud with theirs since you did your townsquare shouting.

Not saying it’s in any way realistic, just that that’s what it would take for me to consider maybe rejoining Reddit.

second meme on the page, reaction to first one.

Taught me how to avoid Poseidon’s kiss.

Jedi council of Elrond? I’m not sure what a subreddit with such a name would be about. Summary?

Oh I’m not saying I’d rejoin Reddit if that happened, only that that’s what would be required for me to consider it in the first place.

You forgot to mention that it’s only open for billionaires, spez, Trump and Putin, but that they’ll be given a 100% discount.

At this point, spez resigning wouldn’t cut it. Reddit would need to be made into a non-profit a la Wikipedia and be managed by a trust.

Switzerland’s isn’t so young either. It dates back to Napoleonic times.

There is not a single word that’s universal to all languages.

1. Even if there had ever been one at some point, there are languages that have/had word retirement as part of the culture speaking it: If a word is used as someone’s name and that person dies, that word is now taboo and a new word is needed to refer to what the old word stood for.

2. Conlanging, especially by laypeople, often explicitly makes up most or all of its vocabulary from scratch or uses cyphers to make the connection invisible. I wouldn’t be surprised if a people made up their own secret language from scratch, maybe initially with very similar grammar, that developed into a native language for a community.

3. Have you heard of Cockney rhyming slang? Take a word like “fart”, use a two part word that rhymes with it, like “raspberry tart”, then drop the rhyming part. That leaves you with “raspberry” meaning “fart” and no discernible connection to the old words this utterance/meaning pair came from.

4. Sign languages are languages as well, and in multiple instances developed from the ground up without influence from the surrounding spoken languages.

Haven’t seen any indication of it being in danger in Switzerland. But we have proportional voting rather than first past the post and referenda are common.
