The Ig in the Ig Nobel prize stands for nothing. It’s supposed to reference the word ignobel. The Ig Nobel prize is a parody of the actual Nobel Prize

Hexbear (if you disagree with their politics) is basically like a white american from the deep south. They’re perfectly reasonable to talk to as long as it isn’t politics

No, it’s just a big community by itself already. So while some big instances have it blocked, they have enough users to just have activity from their own instance.

This post in [email protected] was a really cool and indepth showcase of a linguistic technique!

This has already kind of happened aswell. Apple competing making google improve their service. Google never had street view in Germany, because when they first tried it there were many protests. Only when they noticed apple had gotten full street view coverage of Germany, did google realise there wasn't much opposition anymore, and they went and covered Germany.

I’m thinking of moving to tchncs on mastodon (moving from floss.social) because for me floss.social limits some big instances a bit too much, causing me to be unable to see a lot of replies and posts.

Is there a way for me to check which instances tchncs has “limited”?

Limited is different from blocked. You can still follow users from limited instances and open their posts. They just won’t appear in trending or in replies.

Thanks in advance and thanks for the great lemmy instance! :)
