  • EVs only eliminate tail pipe pollution, otherwise they are more of the same.
    They are multi ton metal boxes rolling on rubber wheels over asphalt roads, often to transport a single person. The create the same amount of traffic and waste the same amount of land on parking. Due to their heavy battery and better acceleration they create more fine particulates of wheel rubber.

    EV are a Verkehrsrichtungsänderung, a Verkehrswende consists of trains and public transit.





  • What does defederation imply? Feeds aren’t aggregated, or users are not allowed from the other instance?

    Iirc no activity from one instance is available on the other. No posts in their communities, no posts/comments from their users.

    Also one other major question. I thought lemmy was its own thing, but I guess it’s part of the Fediverse? The Fediverse is just a set of protocols? What is lemmy then?

    The fediverse is a group of social media platforms that use the active pub protocol to pass along user interactions between instances (servers run by different people).

    Lemmy is the reddit of the fediverse, meaning posts in communities and comment in a trees structure.

    Kbin is also the reddit of the fediverse, but with some less features (manly on the moderation side). Because they both use active pub in a reddit style they can easily interoperate.

    Mastodon is the twitter of the fediverse meaning their content (mircoblogging) doesn’t fit the lemmy format but you will only sometimes see some posts like ‘If you can read this I have managed to post from mastodon to lemmy’.
