  • That would be an incredibly bad argument. Because it’s not a motive, it’s just descriptive. “we’re at the top so we have the right” it’s just a claim we make for ourself without considering how we got there… and what if a smarter, more advanced alien race would come down to earth and conquer us? Would they agree that since they are top of the chain now they have “the right” to slaughter us? Obviously not. So then we would claim: “we’re smart! Look, we know math. And love… we also feel pain.”. So these are important to us.



  • I confirm that in the terms and condition they discourage the use as a private cloud backup and only to host stuff related to the website. Now… until now I’ve had no complaints as I’ve been paying and kept the traffic at minimum. I guess I’ll have to switch to some more cloud oriented version if I keep expanding. But it’s worked for now !





  • Illegal content… well it depends. Illegal informations and piracy tricks? Already happening. But beyond that… illegal medias need to be stored and at large somewhere. It’s still better to do illegal shit on WhatsApp or Telegram (as it still happens) because messages, unlike here, are end to end private. I don’t think this is so novel, it isn’t in fact, that authorities or admins don’t know what to do. Also illegal is too generic. Laws vary from country to country as well. I don’t see Lemmy becoming any sort of terrorist hub anytime soon.




  • Not really no… even from a “single” cell point of view they inherit different biological junk that floats in the extracellular fluid of the mother (forgot the name, probably transcription factors). Also you should specify homozygote twins cuz twins can be of different sex! Anyhow… they share all DNA 100% but that doesn’t make them “the same”. Even in utero they might be exposed to different, albeit.small, stimuli. Maybe one is receiving slightly more nutrients bc he’s attached first etc etc. Life is so complicated that there’s many different things that can change! So then after birth they will still be exposed to similar but not identical environments and stimuli. They will eventually diverge and can, and do, become very different individuals, even from a mere biological pov.
