Uhhhhhhh, absolutely! This is a massive reply and I am appreciative of that. I am sure that many other people reading are also sort of in the same mindset or (where the hell am I really?). I still am a tad confused as to why this account will not work on other instances, but I guess you do explain why here in this response.
Appreciate the time and effort :)
This is a hot take, but Street Lawyer, by John Grisham.
I left Reddit because I gave them so many years of dedication (and $ via Reddit premium), not even considering the fact I bought coins on multiple accounts.
Reddit became way too focused on Karma. Karma is great in concept, but more than half of the users are only posting for internet points at this point. It takes away from the validity of posts imo. How many "I stopped drinking for 30 days!" posts did you see on there with like 70k upvotes and thousands of karma?
The amount of not genuine posts is alarming. People have become addicted to the upvote/downvote system moreso than boomers on Facebook have become attached to their pages.
The amount of hate speech, misinformation and blatant lies the site actively promotes is insane.
They literally made everyone NFT wallets...???????
NFT wallets?? Why the fuck was this ever approved? Oh yeah, more $, and something else for Spez to add to his IPO rubbish. Hey look at us we have some NFTs too type beat.
The userbase is pretty shit and Spez has even admitted to not caring about the people who made his site what it is.
Why would anyone ever stay on a site where the literal CEO says he doesn't need nor care about you?
Thanks for the response. I just have more questions now >.<
Am I able to login to any of these instances with the same account? I.e. this skiba account I am on?
If they are not the "same" then why are you able to view Lemmy.ml from the instance of Slrpnk.net?
Sorry for asking for an ELI5 but my curiosity lingers
So just to clarify, as I migrated from the other website I refuse to mention, I assume that site is not Federated, and Lemmy is? And Exploding***-Heads is another instance?
I think I am missing something here, can someone explain a few terms for me by chance?
What the hell does Fediverse mean? What the hell does Federated mean? What the hell does Defederated mean?
In the United States, it is a little bit different.
There are "standards" that water quality has to live up to. Do these standards actually meet the criteria for safe drinkable tap water? Not always. This is evident in places like Flint, Michigan and other poorer urban areas.
Some of the tap water can be so bad that people wouldn't dare to drink it even after boiling.
In some areas, the tap water quality is wonderful.
Here is a relatively decent source about the topic as it pertains to the USA. https://wisevoter.com/state-rankings/best-tap-water-in-the-us/#:~:text=The%20ten%20states%20with%20the,%2C%20South%20Dakota%2C%20and%20Nevada.
The long story short here, is certain places like Hawaii have extremely clean tap. Other places, like Texas, are notorious for having numerous water quality violations.
It falls down to each individual State and City for maintaining the standards that were set. In my opinion, it it just an easy way for them to waive liability at the end of the day.

Well there is really only one question...
