The original post here uses words like “gouging” and “raking”, so this didn’t start out as a calm discussion of opportunity cost.

The post you’re replying to is kind of condescending, so all in all this is probably not the best content we’ll see all day.

“The Best People.”

I use Kbin and I see it as “removed by moderator.”

Eternal card game has similarities to Magic and Hearthstone, but has more generous rewards and is designed to take advantage of the digital space.

I bet this will be as lucrative as twitch streaming.

Crewed vs uncrewed is a decision made at the very beginning of the planning stages, years ago. These days a crew is just a gigantic extra expense on a mission with little return. Remotely operated missions can achieve all their scientific objectives.

I just came here because Reddit torpedoed third-party apps.

I can’t remember if Milo or Binkley said it, but “there are no moral absolutes in a complex world.”

*requires overcoming inertia.

Where does quality news come from if people aren’t willing to pay for it?

Piggybacking on myself. I can't figure out how to subscribe to one of the other communities. One says to paste "!cfb@fanaticus.social" into my instance's serach field, but when I do that, I get a result that says "empty."

There are self-appointed moderators over there who browse new and downvote anything that doesn't fit their vision. I was one of them, looking for certain "offenses." For instance if someone posted run-of-the-mill war news in an "interesting" sub, with nothing at all novel or intriguing about it, I would downvote it. So I guess I've got my gates to keep too.

But yeah, I had the same thing happen to me in a couple subs. I posted what I thought was perfectly relevant content, and it would attract a few downvotes right away, and then, usually, climb back up as less-zealous people read it.
