Exactly, the bottom 10% don’t have enough money, meaning that any money you give them will go towards consumption. The top bracket’s spending as % of income or wealth is tiny and is mostly independent of their income. Their money is spent on investments, not basic goods and services. They practically don’t affect inflation.

I think money should be printed during periods of low inflation. E.g. Japan could have benefited from that. After this bout is over, governments can return to printing, carefully.

I already know I’m gonna be downvoted for this, but the top 1%/0.1% spending isn’t gonna change, whereas the bottom 10% will cause inflation… That’s why there’s no magic bullet.

This is a meme, right? …right?

Thank you! Question about the in-app browser. Many other apps use it and I’ve always been wondering: does it save cookies and sessions or is it just a minimal thing that just opens the page temporarily with safari, without persitent storage?

It’d be great to support identity based on a key hash, so that it’s completely decoupled from any instances. Maybe some time in the future.

I think one should remember the happy moments to know what’s possible. If you’ve been there before, the place exists and you can get there again.

Somebody’s been crying in the shower…

Honestly, Lemmy as it is now already is way more fun and engaging than Reddit ever was for me. On Reddit, I’m mainly a lurker. Here, I want to participate.

Yeah… If you’re not making a shitpost, it’s best to write it out in full in a notepad, save, then copy & paste 😅

Does Memmy support 2FA? I can’t log in, for some reason. Maybe because I have 2FA enabled.

The thing is, unknown instances won’t have large communities. Unless you want to take up the task of populating one? If so, finding or creating the community is the easy part.

Just use the “All” tab, instead of the “Local” one 🤣

I guess that works as an emergency measure. Persistent storage doesn’t affect whether the updates are processed in time, but it would act as a sort of swap to keep the memory usage manageable.

For scalability, perhaps, you could run dijkstra and route the updates using the shortest path to each federated node, in a multicast sort of way? That would make the updates scale in a O(log(N)) way, provided that activity isn’t too centralised. It would also be great to run periodic “deep scrubs” between instances to sync up each other’s activities and provide actual eventual consistency. I guess that’s kind of a liberal interpretation of ActivityPub, but I think that’s the only way to ensure real scalability.
