These are just some random threads I saved. As others have pointed out, niche communities are (usually) the least toxic. Applies to any site or chatroom.
Psychopathy is a popular catch-all term. “Low-empathy” is better, but I think you’re just a critical person and most people don’t like criticism or self-reflection.
Ok, so I heard a thing a long time ago about information density in languages, and that there’s a specific amount of information conveyed per second which is pretty consistent across languages, even when the number of sounds is higher or lower.
This is true.
Which means that a single word in English, for instance, would convey more information than a single word in Hindi.
I don’t think that’s the right interpretation. There are words in English that would require sentences to be made for each if conveyed in a different language. But the same is true vice-versa.
Have a look at subtitles for movies from one language to any other. Translators struggle conveying what should be paragraph long sentences of context behind a single word for one language. Do not get me started on double speak.

I didn’t know about it, thank you for showing me this.
How does my point relate to HTML tag metadata?
I don’t think Lemmy or Mastodon would be a good place to start necessarily. Don’t be discouraged, I just mean that I think this should be something separate, like a library,
True. I meant suggesting this idea for generally any website that uses tagging. Will update post to show this better.
As a code library it could be maintained elsewhere and let these folks keep working on their projects.
We would need a group like the Wiki Foundation to set this up. Though I wouldn’t know how to pitch this.
😔
This place is more techy, but please don’t assume. I have no idea what you’re arguing for.
That is more of an argument involving the implementation of tags in general within the federation. But to answer your question:
Let’s say a group of people were to make a post on Mastodon with the tag #girls_night. How will all instances agree on the tag being correct?
The simple answer is they won’t. If a tag is contentious, it will be like any other drama between instances.
It’s the same for implementing tag hierarchy. Let’s say there is a default setup. Then if a tag or a tree of tags is contentious, each instance can include or exclude as they see fit.
Two new tables for “tags” would be required. One for instance wide tags and one for community tags.
a curated list of tags users can attach to their posts. The list of tags can be maintained by both admins and moderators allowing for each community to tailor tags to their specific needs.
It’s not what I was suggesting, but this should definitely be implemented for Lemmy.
I’m talking about how some tags should directly relate to one another, and how this should not always be the case in vice-versa. The system I’m suggesting is less useful when you limit the scope of tags (as the RFC does), but you can’t really do that for user-centric websites like Mastodon.
I think I’ll make an edit to clarify this in post.
A lot of people have been recommending Blowback. I’m listening to it now!
Wow, didn’t know the roots were that deep…
Yeah, I see it now. 😅
That’s very interesting. I think you’ve sold me on watching the show.
Thank you for the article. I’ll need to look more into this in the future.
Both this and all other answers are good for different reasons. From what I’m reading, the beliefs and politics displayed within Star Trek are beyond progressive for the time it came out, while also shaping sci-fi. This creates a very committed fan base that when Reddit started acting up, they were able to move a large chunk of their user base away to Lemmy, since Lemmy is filled with similar-minded people.
I think it fits. Perhaps in Europe the fan base is less large. Star Wars, Harry Potter, and even Dune are what people around me are into. Though it’s mainly (only) just Star Wars.
