Statistically, IQ follows a standard distribution, so the median and mean should be relatively close.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were found eating kaviar off each others nibbles.

I did not ask for this mental image today

I think Lemmy is going through some growing pains right now. Many of the integral members of the platform, the developers and admins, are overwhelmed with work, because the platform is still in an early stage of development and it's not as functional as it could be.

Additionally, the original servers are clashing with the new servers as they attempt to find common ground. A month or two ago, things were much more chill because people were just starting to explore. But now people have strong feelings about other instances and those feelings need to be hashed out. I am confident that we have enough reasonable people on all sides to reach a pragmatic compromise.

I feel the vast majority of interactions I've had with people on Lemmy have been positive. I hope that Lemmy can be a space that transcends the toxicity of the discourse on other social media platforms. But it will probably take some time to achieve that goal.

This thread got me thinking, do we have a replacement for r/outside on Lemmy? That sub was pretty entertaining at times

I wish they'd have done a full NYC analysis. Just doing Manhattan has an obvious outcome, but including Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx would yield a more interesting result.

I see. Thanks for the explanation

Yeah the privacy aspect of Monero is definitely superior.

I think the fungibility of Nano is actually great, I believe the coins can be divided to 12 decimal places or something. Unless I'm misunderstanding what fungibility means.

The Nano use case is similar to cash, it's easy and fast, but I agree that it's not really useful for major financial transactions. More like buying a cup of coffee for someone across the world with no fees and instant transaction time.

Bitcoin always promised something like that, but in reality there are massive fees and transactions take forever to complete, so it's just not fit for purpose.

I'm partial to Nano as the most practical currency implementation. Feeless, instant, decentralized. But only in theory, I'm not actually invested or anything. Monero seems relatively cool too.
