    The licanius trilogy explores this really nicely. If you’re a sci-fi or fantasy fan I really do highly recommend them.

    Hopefully without spoiling too much, the future being predetermined doesn’t necessarily prohibit free will. In the same way we can’t travel backwards in time we can’t travel forwards faster. Everything has happened, both in the past present and future, but it’s still the decisions of the people that led to and lead to the outcomes that exist. The past is just as postdetermined as the future is predetermined, if that makes any sense.

    It’s weird but I liked it.











  • I guess it depends on how big instances get. The lemmy world instance currently hosts the casual uk community and its picking up traction across other geographic communities also.

    I think migrating communities will likely find the communities in instances that are the “primary” versions, we just need those to reach critical mass.

    I think the big risk is instances going dark or holding communities ransom in future. All of casual uks content being hosted in one instance it’s crazy dangerous for the longevity of that community. (Unless I’m not understanding quite how it works)
