I don’t like the balloon analogy because it suggests a center but everything is moving away from everything else. It’s more like infinite balloons being blown up at once which only works because the universe is infinite. It’s more an expansion than explosion. That’s how I’ve always conceptualized it anyway but happy to be corrected

Wanted to say this too. It’s Lemmy’s biggest problem and keeps putting me off. I don’t recommend Lemmy to people in person anymore because of them. I don’t know if I would be more disturbed if they’re mostly state actors astroturfing or just deeply unwell real people

I don’t think anyone thinks this actually worked right?

But do computer engineers get to stay?
