I doubt her joining reddit will make it worse.

why reddit is better:

• reddit has polls (even if it's only up to 6 choices, and <8 days)
• reddit currently has more users, and thus more people to interact with
• I kinda like karma pints.
• my pro-Green Party/Jill Stein posts aren't visible to most redittors, and thus aren't as much downvoted, if at all
• I can embed YouTube videos, but not only YT but also Vimeo

&#x200B;

why Lemmy is better:

• no ads, not run by a corporation
• It's federated.
• as one respondent already said ITT: more cozy
• my Vimeo, niconico, Archive, Wikicommons, and the very rare PeerTube posts look no worse than my YouTube posts—though with most posts, one can't see as many thumbnails.

&#x200B;

why Miraheze is better:

• no ads, not run by a corporation
• I can embed YouTube videos, but not only YT but also Vimeo, Archive, niconico, Wikicommons, and Miraheze Commons (on a few of the wikis at least)
• Files in Wikicommons can be transcluded.
• I like the wiki format (at least their and WMF wiki formats) best.

&#x200B;

why WMF projects are better:

• no ads, not run by a corporation
• Wikipedia is one of the most visited website on the internet; I enjoy categorizing files on Wikicommons; I like the structures of Wikiversity's wikidebates.

I'm also thinking of posting in RationalWiki next year.

that it's (currently) much less popular than reddit.

When I joined reddit, it was at least a year—probably 3 years—before I was banned from a subreddit—r/AskReddit. I've been here little more than a year and I've not only been banned from a notable community here, but when I asked to be unbanned—once, then letting perhaps a few weeks pass, then twice—I got no reply.

&#x200B;

(and I'm not going to ask a 3rd time, but will simply create a [community-I-was-banned-from]2.)

If I can resist Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok (of which I have never had an account, don't have, and probably won't have on any of those 3), I can resist Lemmy.

which is kind of why you get 11 choices. 😁🙂

Yes, and despite the hyperventilating about crime in the US by America's political right, the murder rate has fallen these past few decades.

Nonetheless, there are risks.

You yourself might stride South Central LA, Bronx, Detroit, the nation's capital, et al, with confidence, and probably incur no harm, but unless you think any of these would increase the risk to your personal safety while you walk the 10 miles, maybe you want to choose one.

in preference to those listed?

The just-the-torso was in T-1.

In T-2, the terminator got beaten by the T-1000, including being impaled and losing an arm.

As they are randomly selected, the Americans could be proportionate to American demographics; but if you wish, we can make all of the Americans of East Asian descent, except for the short guys, who will be all white and of Northern European descent. Does that make you happy?

Do they have to follow my directions?

They want to get you through safely, if only for the $10 000.

I suppose if any of the 24 can't make it, they can stay behind.

But Musk can only be part of the leadership if he wins cage matches with 10 other randomly chosen billionaires, and beats 20 random women (each best of 3) in chess, 20 random women in poker, and 20 random women in billiards (8-ball, snooker, and carom: best of the 3).

1a. maintain the old one.

2b. buy before 2027.

3c. buy out-of-state.

4d. knowing how new electric appliances are expensive and flawed, maybe get restored ones.

5e. some solar water heaters use electricity only for the pump.

We might need professional thinkers to give comments.

FWIW, I use neither the word "versus" or "and" in the question. 😁🙂

(but I should touch up the body and add some commas)

so noted. Thanks. 🙂

The state and congressional districts seem somewhat blue, FWIW.

Don't waste any more years; but stick around: you might be needed some time.

I presume your parents still love you. If so, don't make them sad.

Why would you starve?
