Good for you! Thanks, communities make sense. Seems like an interesting project, I am a programmer so I'll give it a shot

I hear you. That's why I think the process will be more gradual. We need to see communities evolve over time.

I really just spent 5 min creating a lemmy account and subscribing to the sublemmies(? pages? what do we even call the subreddits of lemmy) I found interesting. Perhaps I'll invest some time setting up my own instance

He is right, but I don't see any problem with it. Personally I prefer lemmy to Reddit, but I still go back to Reddit due to the lack of content here. It will probably be a gradual transition where I completely stop using Reddit, and I am fine with it.

Wait, do some Americans identify with nationalities that they don't belong to? That just sounds strange to my Norwegian ears. Drinking mead is not really common here anymore anyways

Well ackchyually he most likely is a descendant of both farmers and viking raiders. Basically everyone in Norway brags about being descendents of the first king Harald Hårfagre. It's likely true, the dude had lots of kids, and if you go 1000 years back in such a small country everybody share common ancestors.

Can someone please explain? I've been told I'm supposed to refer to black people as people of color, or people with dark skin.
