That and I think it sort of ruins the whole experience, Lemmy is supposed to be its own thing, it feels kind of lazy to just copy a question from Reddit knowing the original author of it won’t see it

Good lord I can tell im getting old cuz there’s people who don’t who Markiplier is
Potential project idea I want your feedback on: Fictional Lemmy threads that take place in my world?
I started this project well before I became a socialist Based, I can really see the inspiration from it here!
The world is similar to the human world in a lot of its constructs because they were heavily influenced by the discovery of the humans' stored knowledge and data after they went extinct. Are there animal inventors then too? Do they have their own inventions? What happens to things like the meat industry?
Trophist species are significantly less cooperative, even between species with the same ideology. Different predator species are inherently competitive and not cooperative, and it still holds true in their world. Makes sense, I was wondering, wouldn’t the predator groups still be on top in this world due to their more ruthless and competitive nature? Do different groups have their own agendas and motivations for wanting to return to the food chain system of old?
Sure it’s cute but it’s still a rat yknow?
I like the wings of a butterfly the most, it’s the cutest :3
This is very cute
Knockout!

Ah I see, very interesting! So the world is like the human world but in animal terms, reminds me a lot of Cold War dynamics, I assume that’s what it’s partly based on.
So in this universe, wouldn’t there exist plant based meat? Isn’t that a lot more efficient than bioengineering plants to have the same nutrients as meat? And I was also curious what the culture of these animals are, are they like separate completely or do they share traits and beliefs with one another?
That’s pretty cool, but I do understand why it doesn’t exist anymore, it’s quite tedious and requires a lot more work then just having different tabs for stuff. I wonder, what has made stuff like neocities still somewhat popular today?
I assume he means basically social media for furries
What if Champa didn’t fall in 1471 and still existed today?
Point of departure
In this alternate timeline, Cei Bunga, Champa’s king who almost took over Dai Viet during a period of instability, doesn’t get killed during the 1390 war against them, and is instead able to push to Hanoi, capturing it and turning the nation into a vassal state for the next few years. After Dai Viet resists and becomes independent once again, Champa makes a military alliance with the Ming to keep itself protected in case of future invasion by the Vietnamese. This agreement holds for many centuries and is the main reason Champa was unable to be conquered by Dai Viet, fearing a retaliatory invasion by the Ming. Islam also begins spreading after this relative peace is established, with Malay, Arab and Indian merchants leading to the mass conversion of the populace, however some Hindus remain in the south with their practices, and some others follow a syncretized version of Islam, which are called Bani Chams.
Colonization
After this period, in 1890, the French begin their colonization into the area, first by trade, then by outright conquest. The French take over the city of Panrang and begin moving northward. Champa’s king, not wanting his country taken over, quickly signs a deal with the French, turning his country into a protectorate. The nation remains this way, with occasional revolts against French rule, until the 1940s, when Japan takes over.
WW2 and Cold War period
Japan invades the country in 1942, setting up a puppet government, The Empire of Champa, which lasts until 1945, when it is liberated by the allies and returned to France. The chams begin resisting occupation by the French in the Cold War, which begins a insurgency in the country, with the US supporting the monarchy, and the USSR supporting the revolutionaries. The revolutionaries eventually do win out, but only after a decades long war, and with Chinese military help.
Communist era
After the war, the Viet cong take over the country alongside Cambodia, installing puppet governments. This era is known for its brutal repression of non-communist Chams and discrimination against religious groups. In 1992-1993, Champa became controlled by a UN peacekeeping mission under UNTAC (United Nations Transitional Authority in Champa). The UN ran elections, had its own TV channels, and generally helped steer the country back to a more humane form of rule.
Present Day
Following the UN mission, Champa resorted its monarchy, and has now become a major economic and political player in ASEAN and the world as a whole, it has close ties to Malaysia and Indonesia, which are considered the three Malay sister nations, due to their historical past. Notable landmarks in the country include the Po Rome towers, various ancient forts, and the statue of Cei Bunga found in it’s capital city, Indrapura, which functions as part of it’s national pride.

And this is sort of the annoying part for me, if you want something that respects your privacy better than mainstream social media, you have to put up with way less people, posts, comments and communities. I really wish there was some major platform which was as big as the mainstream but was it’s own thing, I know mastodon is the biggest but it’s still not big enough meanwhile something like bluesky which came way after is even more popular than it
