  • For more mountainous or thick forest areas this is understandably. It required combustion engine trains, simply because of steep mountains, where it’s difficult to put down power lines or forests with a lot of trees who can easily destroy power lines. USA however is mostly flat. Looking at some like Austria or Swiss, if I see this correctly, they also are on a good way. Here we have a lot of hybrid but in general our train transport is a mess of mixed.

    Only 16 user. I don’t have an issue with most people. However since I brows mostly new content from All, I got to block some communities (166 so far) or I’ll see gay/trans content, content in foreign languages or Russian propaganda. I don’t have anything personal per se against the former, I’m not homophobic, I just don’t want to see nude males constantly. Other trans communities are just fine, like when they do memes or news.

    Sadly the later part, Lemmy is basically Reddit/r/worldnews but worse and spread over multiple communities without curation, allowing for a lot of propaganda. I don’t need content of people telling me that communism, which failed in their shit hole of a country, is the answer to capitalism.

    However I see that this is a constant battle of the instance owner trying to keep ahead, so some of those are probably blocked instance wide already by now.

    This will become less of an issue once the content we subscribed to is more and therefore we don’t need to brows All to get enough entertainment. It’s getting better by the day.



  • Availability Heuristic looks out of place. It’s pretty much the only bias I have (beside confirmation bias, which is hard to avoid as sneaky it is), but how should one survive in this world without relying on others? Without doing a scientific bias free study on every topic in life, you’re unavoidable suffering from that bias. A healthy level would be avoiding making it a rule. I regularly disagree with friends decisions, so maybe I don’t have this bias.
