It doesn’t? Something with 1000ms is going to be less responsive than 100ms geographically closer, though I don’t know how much it varies.
I assume that me, being the the US, will have a significant enough high ping by being on an instance that’s hosting in Finland. I never used the wrong terminology, just was asking about how to find the lowest ping — I only said I was trying to find the lowest ping because lemmy.world’s servers are shutting the bed. I can see where the extrapolation comes from though, didn’t make it clear enough.

I realize. I just wanted to make a new account with the lowest ping instance while the server is upgraded at lemmy.world

Yea ended up choosing a pretty popular one near me, hopefully they don’t shut down or something though. Thanks!
I joined Lemmy a few days ago under the lemmy.world instance and want to keep it as my main instance, but it’s being pretty laggy. I don’t have access to a computer to ping each instance so am wondering if there’s a mobile way to do so.

Ever see the movie Elysium?
I think we could definitely be moving towards that kind of world, maybe without the literal rich person spaceship, but with AI defended compounds and AI controlling the population so their position in power could never be threatened again.

Same — after seeing how similar it could be to Apollo (thanks wefwef), I got very excited to be a part of a greater movement towards a defederated platform, especially as I learned more about it.
It’s like being a part of a giant email server that large corporations don’t have minute detail controlled to maximize profit.

They are on the same "network", but that only means they use the same format to exchange messages. It does not mean that they work well together. The Lemmy UI is much better suited for posts with large discussion threads.
Basically you can treat them as separate for all intents and purposes.

Man is the future just going to be eternal rent, Florida & Cuba under water, and everlasting haze from fires from across the world?

Yeah exactly — Reddit hasn’t been profitable ever. Probably explains why they fired the person who actually was hired to do celebrity AMAs and leaving it to volunteers. Celebrity AMAs are probably one of the better ways to attract attention, but of course are pretty expensive.

People are fucking weird — cameras in bedrooms and across the house for kids/teenagers that aren’t babies, using tracking apps like Life360 to watch every minute of their teenager’s life, as if they weren’t unsurveilled teens doing their own mischevious shit, tapping into their search history, looking through their private conversations with friends, and probably a million more things.
Being a kid under a helicopter parent in this technological era must fucking suck.

Yea they shouldn’t be involved with legislating but our legislature and the people meant to represent us have devolved so much that the Supreme Court is basically the only functioning legislating body—and has been for a long time, atleast since Roe vs. Wade.
Our legislature is a failure, the Supreme Court as it stands wouldn't have much power or authority to make these legal changes if this country actually made laws.

Yea it really wouldn’t matter other than having religious dogma change or about what happens after death.
It’s more of an interesting thought experiment about the seemingly minuscule chances of life forming and us being/experiencing life.

Not sure why people care so much, they are only hurting themselves and the communities hosted on their insurance — way more than the damage to .ml or .world

Yea the internet definitely has taken that trend to the extreme in recent years, especially with businesses which don’t make their own websites anymore and host their social media on platforms like Facebook; of course along with individual communities slowly being herded into the corporate mega forum that is Reddit. Definitely not healthy to have all our human interaction/information controlled by these entities especially as we move into the age of artificial intelligence.

Yea there were already earlier reports of this so no surprise here. Imagine not only dying for a useless war, but your government covers up your death and countless others to avoid paying your family some scraps of useless rubles.

Especially considering another instance will just make a new one in order to popularize it instead, even if it’s not .world which is shaping up to be the “main” instance

Hate to break it to ya but that’s just your UI from whatever app you’re using; you definitely have a “karma” score / upvote score, currently at 47 comment upvotes total.

As long as your instance is federated with other instances you should be able to upvote/downvote/interact with any other instance’s comments, posts, etc.
You probably were trying to do so with a beehaw.org instance which was recently defederated from most other Lemmy instances

I didn’t know that was a thing, I got wefwef yesterday so that might’ve been before the cutoff
I’ve been using Lemmy and learning the ropes of the Fediverse and I’m really impressed - especially using wefwef which has replicated my Apollo experience very well. There are posts and everything, just a lack of comments to read for hours on end is the only issue I have, but I believe that with more users this really could be the replacement. Are you guys thinking the same thing? Is there evidence yet that Reddit is slowly failing and power users are migrating?
