@MudMan

I think this is an interesting topic

This comment from an old Reddit post seems to contain some knowledge, imo

https://reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/s/1SHtAFS093

As noted in that comment, in reading Goethe’s Faust I remember distinctly that line, ERITUS SICUT DEUS, SCIENTES BONUM ET MALUM.

Something about its oldness, religiosity and simplicity make it magical to me

@dartos @Awoo what about capitalism made it great ? It was the people that made it great imo it just came to be under capitalism

@s1ndr0m3 @Ryan213 And displaying no faith in it being a successful business model at a reasonable price.

@rbits you are absolutely correct. I edited my post but edits may not propagate to all servers

@atomWood @MaxElFantasma Recently renamed to Vger I think. https://vger.app

@railsdev @idk837384 It’s the price, right? People shit on it for its price. You didn’t mention price once! Lol

@confusedbytheBasics In my opinion yes. Kbin more so than Lemmy and Mastodon.

@confusedbytheBasics @Emu short and distinctive names tend to be coveted. I guess because easier to discovery / remember / protect via copyright? Idk but there must be a reason basically ALL products that become dominant are 2 or 3 syllables names that are not (usually) normal words. Definitely a trend but NOT a rule

@Retirix_YT Totally reasonable. not offended at all if anything I felt my reaction was unreasonable, is why I deleted :)

I thought I read more judgment of others in your comment(s) than I’m reading now. Totally fair to personally not partake and express that!

@Retirix_YT I responded to you but then deleted the comment because decided engaging wasn’t worth it haha.

@Retirix_YT @ilikekeyboards If that’s truly how you feel, you shouldn’t say you think it doesn’t rock. That expresses disapproval, even if you don’t mean it to.

what you just said about weed is what religious extremists say about being gay - a much more harmful take than being anti-weed, imo. Just using this as an example to illuminate why your OG comment connotes greater judgment / hostility to people who smoke weed.

If it doesn’t rock for you then say that not that it doesn’t rock ya see?
