Should we go ahead and put a curriculum together and start shipping it to universities, or...?
Such good points; I'm convinced. To continue on your line of thinking, after learning some media literacy and starting to notice different patterns and forms of discussion, I wonder if learning Aristotelian syllogisms would be a good next step. So we still aren't jumping right into fallacies per se, but we start to understand logic structure and what is formally valid/invalid. So now it's got them thinking about how to structure and challenge their own beliefs and arguments. And while we are now potentially hitting formal fallacies, I think this would not give any immediate tools for dunking on anyone either because, in my experience, converting a real-time argument to a syllogism is very very difficult without a ton of experience and practice breaking arguments down into simpler ideas. What do you think?
Rather than not encouraging focusing and learning fallacies, maybe we are simply saying that they need to also learn to use them appropriately? Fallacies are not just the informal ones that everyone is referencing here in this thread, but also the formal ones which are very much required for logical argument structure. So even in learning about fallacies, there will be opportunities to understand the difference between informal and formal, why they are different, and how that applies to discourse. Knowledge is power; it just needs to be balanced with understanding on how to use and I think a deep dive into fallacies could actually assist in that regard.
Thank you, starting to get it now!
Because KBin had more features than just what's available with federation because it's a separate codebase than Lemmy. I'm starting to get it now, thanks for the help!
Got it! Thanks for explaining; that was really helpful.
Hmm. Which could give me access to other Kbin features, like the microblogging the other commenter mentioned to me?
I don't understand; I can access Kbin magazines from Jerboa. What am I missing?
I was going to ask what the number used to be! I am new as of last week, and even from when I started, it's insane to see posts with hundreds of upvotes. Crazy upswing in such a short amount of time. I wonder how long time Lemmy users feel about all this.
@[email protected], you're going to want in on this conversation.
I'd like to add to this request that we allow searches by instance, or be able to view all communities within a particular instance. I sometimes hear about a new instance and want to see all the communities within it. Or I'm curious what new communities lemmy.ml might have and want to quickly view all their instances. Initially I tried to search "@lemmy.ml", hoping that would work, but alas it did not. Just a thougt that feels related to this one!
I doubt we'll see a PS5 Pro next year, if at all. We've only ever had that in one generation of consoles across the entirety of gaming, and there was a 4K push and a processor that had fallen behind. This generation, we're seeing extended crossgen support, and not a lot of games pushing next-gen visuals yet. I think we'd all feel a little left out to dry if a pro version came out. A slim version seems totally reasonable to me though, especially if rumors are true that Sony wants to switch to a single PS5 model with an optional disc drive attachment.
I better start seeing smoked meats posted on this shit. Got any recommendations for quality beef jerky or anything of the like that will ship in the States? You've got me hungry now.
So sick. What do you call it when something feels old-world but also futuristic? Love how you shot this too.
That's exactly what I did. I moved my reddit app elsewhere and put Jerboa in its place. Now when I instinctually click, I get confused for a minute as I look at Lemmy and then sigh in relief and start browsing lol. Brains take so much work to adjust to change.
Oooh, right, I did see a post about it putting up DDOS protection and how that might screw with things. So this might just be temporary then. That at least helps me understand it; I have been trying to understand the fediverse and that behavior really confused me and made me think I was missing something big. Thanks!
Kbin data not updated in real-time?
I'm new here and getting my bearings on how the fediverse works, and this one has got me stumped. I heard that Kbin is another system in the fediverse separate from Lemmy, but that, both being in the fediverse, they are able to interact. I was just testing this to see how it works, but I'm not seeing what i expected.
I am on Jerboa and I can indeed find Kbin magazines through the search. I looked up the Kbin magazine called Random, but it looked way less populated on Jerboa than on the Kbin site. Notably, posts from 3-4 hours ago or more recent were not appearing in Jerboa. The most recent post on Jerboa is from 18 hours ago on Kbin and has only a few comments, whereas Kbin has a substantial amount more. So the two systems can interact...but is there a large time-delay between them?
Can anyone help me understand how this works? Should I expect to see the same behavior between Lemmy instances?
Right, that's what I'm saying - replacement may be easy, but those mods were suggesting a hit to quality. Something tells me Reddit is ready for widespread nuking and has a backup solution to handle that, but it would be lovely to see it all go down. Can't wait to see what Reddit looks like after all these Subreddits finish going dark.
Right, that's what I'm saying - I'm curious if we'll notice a quality drop in content, if the majority of users who stay will notice or care, and how that will affect Reddit's bottom line and investor opportunities.
There was some mods discussing this on Tildes, and the mods seemed to think that replacing them wouldn't be as easy as people make it out to be. Mods apparently have a wealth of institutional knowledge that is required due to the lackluster default mod suite, and apparently the admins rely on them to come up with their own solutions to issues. Replacing the mods sounds like it will reduce the quality of the content but also will be a big headache for any new mods to jump in. Reddit may not give a shit and they may think it won't significantly affect investor interest, but I wonder if us regular users will notice a difference. Hell, there's already been a difference over the past 10 years.
I started rethinking that when I was seeing the influx of bots calling out other users as bots. Then I started noticing weirdly corporate speak in comments about products. I used to add "reddit" to every Google search to find any decent advice, but now I'm realizing even that advice is tainted. Ugh.
