I too live in a country with 1.4 billion people. The party that leads our govt claims to have 100 million members, but that’s because you can become a ‘member’ by giving them a missed call.

With actual medicines, or horse dewormer? You know, the communist nations, whatever their faults, have moved more people out of poverty than the rest of the world combined, helped many colonies achieve independence, and sent the first man and woman to space. Whereas anarchist nations have- oh wait they don’t even exist. Maybe they should have read them books.

Lemmy is older than the Reddit exodus, and historically had stricter moderation. When the exodus happened, the OG lemmy users saw the newcomers as rude at best, and various forms of bigots at worst. So ‘go back to Reddit’ is short-hand for ‘such talk is not welcome here’.

It doesn’t matter how private and secure the messaging app is if the OS / keyboard / some random Google slopware with notifications access / physical device is compromised. But for 99% of people, Signal, Telegram or even WhatsApp is good enough.

Hey, that’s not arcane knowledge. Arcane knowledge is memorising the server’s IP address.

To translate from one language to another, you need to know both languages very well, including puns, idioms, etc., and have a deep understanding of both cultures involved. A word for word translation will rarely do; you may even have to come up with new jokes / references to replace ones that don’t work in the target language. If you have read translations of manga by, say, Rumiko Takahashi, you might have seen footnotes explaining all the puns and references. And even this is not ideal, since it breaks the reader’s flow.
