Lemmy is no different than any other social media platform that thrives on hate

💯Lemmy is dominated by leftist extremists and insufferable Linux advocates. Then there’s a large section of the mentally unwell. And a whole category of communities filled with automated copies of Reddit posts and zero comments.

Happy healthy well adjusted and successful people are not Lemmy. It’s mostly the lunatic fringe.

The modding of communities into echo chambers is more extreme than on Reddit even. Productive political debate is impossible here.

If you do something you enjoy, you will attract other people who enjoy the same things.

Walk around your neighborhood and open your eyes to what organizations and institutions exist.

Try sports, gardening, making art, music, and look for shared workshops used for woodworking, car or bicycle enthusiasts, and such.

There’s also always the option to announce your own event, meetup, or activity.

More adventurous route: get addicted to drugs or gambling and then go to self help groups.

The electric energy needed by the ASDEX Upgrade fusion experiment to power its magnetic field coils and plasma heating facilities is supplied by large flywheel generators. An experimentation pulse in ASDEX Upgrade requires an electric power of 400 megawatts lasting 10 seconds, i.e. half as much as the whole district of Munich. Such an abrupt grid load is not permissible; so the electric energy for ASDEX Upgrade cannot be taken directly from the grid. Instead the flywheel generators gradually take the energy needed from the grid, store it and then pass it on to ASDEX Upgrade in a single pulse.

Apple supports their phones for at least 5 years. iPhone XS from 2018 is still supported by the current version of iOS. As iOS 26 just came out, that means 8 years of software support.
