we do have a solution, it's called treating people like people and telling them to fuck off when they misbehave, and if moderators don't stop misbehaving then you move.

i feel like every time people complain about things being bad and oh so difficult to solve there's a blitheringly obvious social solution that has been used for millions of years that is for some reason being ignored

there is a decentralized reddit clone, it's called lemmy lmao

being decentralized doesn't mean you have no moderation

take a walk where? spend money on gas to go to a nature area, or do 5 laps around the neighbourhood?
huge swaths of suburban america are literally not possible to leave by foot

libraries are similarily shitty in large parts of the US, that is if one even exists anywhere near you.

cloning is pretty simple: you end up in both places. there's no magical continuity of experience, both clones are equal and will 100% feel like the original and have equally valid claims to such, and to a third observer it would basically just look like two very confused identical twins who share their memories before the cloning.
You obviously wouldn't end up with a single conscience experiencing both points of view at once, lmao.

it's just like copying data on a computer, it's all the same data so it's nonsensical to call any copy the "original".

the fact that right-wingers don't emit a loud filmreel sound at all times is truly a testament to technological advances

i don't think soap with grit added would have ever been considered a luxury product, low-quality soap still looks way prettier

gotta make sure to punch yourself in the face as you're about to hit the ground, to give yourself some i-frames and thus cheekily negate the fall damage.

or just outright parry the ground approaching you, dealing massive damage to the planet and even giving you some health back

not to worry, plenty of people type with a single finger flying across the keyboard, many still know cramping fingers 🥰

it's only a problem if you think the sole thing defining "you" is an intangible soul that for some reason wouldn't just transfer between or get copied alongside instances of yourself

the line of reasoning you talk about has always been so strange to me, you'd be talking to a person walking out of a transporter and insist they're dead, as they look you in the eye and ask if that's an insult

it's just the ship of theseus, at what point do you consider it a new ship?

like think about it, people only start questioning if it's the same person after they learn how transporters work, doesn't that indicate that it really doesn't matter? if people can go their entire lives with neither them nor anyone around them noticing a difference, how could they somehow be a different person?

but then on the flipside there's stuff like star trek, which since it's literally the inspiration for cellphones is remarkably normal

even the fucking tricorders aren't that far off these days, just today i used an app on my phone to identify plants automatically for fuck's sake, that's insane!
