😂 I'm with you 100%. After I left my previous comment I had almost the exact same thought process. Why aren't replicators producing more slop?? It doesn't know what chicken soup tastes like. Chicken soup might be molecularly-speaking very similar to chicken shit soup.
Replicators don't simulate cooking though, they rearrange atoms. It's an entirely different process and I have to imagine that translating between them is more of an art than a science.
Yeah, food is like music, it's just not enough to hit the right notes and there is infinite variations even with the same notes in the same order. Food also uses TWO senses so it's even more complicated.
It's probably difficult to program something to arrange atoms just the way your grandma used to.
The short answer is no. 99% of users are on BlueSky. There do exist a few satellite and single-user "instances" but it's important to know that AT Protocol "instances" don't really have the same freedoms as an ActivityPub instance.
There's an easy solution to that: I'm pretty sure on Lemmy (not sure about Piefed) admins can see who downvoted. So it's just a matter of mods/admins having and enforcing rules that facilitate conversation.
I understand their reasoning. There is a (good) argument to be made that orgs like this should stay on Twitter if only to remind people to delete Twitter (I believe Cory Doctorow does this with his account). It seems like they thought this through.
That was actually super helpful, thank you.
