Very honorable of them to leave up all the 'fuck spez' - Lemmy.world

I’m trying to transition off of reddit completely and I dislike what they have done. But that being said, I thought it was quite honorable of them to not censor the ‘fuck spez’, be it comments throughout the site or on /r/Place. They even left the giant fuck spez ending in the official time lapse of /r/Place and the highest ranked post is a screen shot of the same. They have many reasonable sounding excuses available to censor excessive use of the word ‘fuck’, and I don’t see how they benefit by leaving it up there. It’s not like censoring swear words is beyond the pale compared to other things they have done. They didn’t even need to do /r/Place, they knew full well what was going to happen but they did it anyways. I know many people think this is some 4D chess move or a fear of the Streisand effect. They are not that clever. I just wanted to point out that it does in fact look like they have a line that they won’t cross and they are holding to it. Also, fuck spez.

Question about the lightning network

Question about the lightning network - Lemmy.world

Hi Everyone, let’s start some conversations on here. I think it is more interesting than just posting links. I have a question. Regarding the lightning network, my understanding is that every time a transaction goes across a channel it locks up the BTC in that direction for each channel. My confusion is that this sounds like it will lock up a lot of BTC. For example, let’s say we send 1BTC through 5 channels to get to the payee. That is 1 BTC for each channel, so 5 BTC would then be stuck in one orientation and a transaction of equivalent size would have to come through in the other direction to clear it up. But if BTC is more often moving in one direction over the other, how does this resolve without constantly having to reconcile it with the main blockchain? Is there a trick or some other solution I am missing here? Or will these bottlenecks always form?

Is that a mouse? Or a lemming? - Lemmy.world

I just keep seeing this mouse everywhere, but it would make sense if it was a lemming. It’s a lemming, right? Where does the name Lemmy come from anyways?
