There's always some people walking around dead malls, even if the mall died years ago. Reddit will be around for at least 5-10 more years but it's overall influence will start to decline. It will be slowly at first but I'd bet three years from now reddit will just be seen as a forum site for scammers, bots, incels and alt-right lunatics (more than it is now).

The idea of biological immortality terrifies me. Like other commenters have said, the risk of power being further entrenched in the rich is basically an inevitability. Biological immortality under capitalism is pretty much a guarantee of immortal god-oligarchs that will control a bigger portion of resources and power than they do now.

Also it removes death as an unbeatable end. What if there were still robber barons from the early 1900s alive today? We'd be worse off politically than we already are. Death is an integral part in the march of progress.

From a personal standpoint, I'm not super jazzed about living past my 80s even if I didn't age and was in perfect health. If biological immortality comes to be I'll still punch out around 90 at the latest and update my will to prevent my consciousness from being uploaded to San Junipero.

The sweet abyss of oblivion worked for me from the beginning of the universe until my birthday, it'll work fine again when I get back to it.

banning and defederating communities (kbin.fedi.cr)

Hey all, I recently left reddit like many of you. I have a question regarding lemmy and the fediverse on the history of banning and defederation. I have noticed several posts calling for varying communities to be disconnected. were these removal requests as prevalent before the mass migration? Usually I am all for communities...

We're not talking about punishing anyone, we just don't want to hear or see their bigotry. They can have their space and we can choose not to interact with them.

I wasn't ever a fan of UnpopularOpinions. It seemed like a license to say horrible shit and then feel good about the upvotes but people just upvoted because the opinion was awful.
