  • In Quebec, we had a legend that is thought to be related to “The Bone setter”. It’s a guy that would crack back your bones or something, and their patients would scream, so people were rightfully scared.

    Parents would basically say to their child that if they misbehave, they would call the bone setter.



  • If it wasn’t a comparative argument, then what’s wrong with my original statement?

    Edit: I think I understand what you’re coming from, but it still doesn’t make sense? They were self contained, and they didn’t just make those communities because they were defederated? It’s because there was demand. If some random instance with one user makes like 100s of communities, will it count in the graph?



  • When you say “It isn’t big”, you’re comparing it to reddit? That would basically dwarf all Lemmy instances combined lmao.

    This post was comparing Lemmy instances with other Lemmy instances. Hexbear was its own website for a while, and only decided to start trying federation like a few months after the whole reddit thing. They’re fine on their own even, so I don’t know why people keep acting as if they necessarily want to be federated.
