Thank you for explaining this, I’ve had federation turned off for a while now and have been wondering why so many things from Lemmy still pop up.

So much porn, regular porn, amateur porn, furry porn. I have 18+ turned off and some of it still slips through sometimes.

Hi, thank you for your contributions!

I find myself wondering how many people we need to have a self-sustaining community. I’ve been making and stockpiling memes and discussion ideas so I can post regularly, but ideally there’d be enough people so that my posts aren’t the majority.

I’ve had some frustrating experiences. A few weeks ago when I posted something, even if other people disagreed, they would respond with the kindness of assuming that I’m speaking in good faith. More and more people are responding to my comments rather aggressively. It’s mostly people with far left views, which I suppose is better than people with far right views, but it’s still rather off-putting.

It’s gotten bad enough that I almost expect for someone to respond to this comment negatively.

Ah, I misunderstood what you were asking; No I am not sure. I made my assessment based on what is available. If I’m proven wrong when Tesla either releases the data or more likely is forced to release the data by NHTSA, then I will stand corrected.

I read both articles you have linked to, I don’t think either of them contradict what I said. Both articles point out that Tesla dominate automation related accidents, which makes sense because Tesla has a far greater number of automation equipped cars on the road than other manufacturers. Furthermore they point out that those accidents have risen dramatically over the past few years. If you look at the graph on the WaPo article you linked to you’ll see it’s in agreement with what I said since Tesla switched to vision based systems in mid 2021.

Yes, because rising road fatalities and having lower than average road fatalities are not mutually exclusive. Radar-era autopilot was incredibly safe, so even though Elon made the stupid decision to make it vision-based which has caused fatalities to go up, they’re still below average. You can check NHTSA’s ratings just type in Tesla in the search bar and you’ll see that they’ve gotten a 5 star rating on every car in every category.

Of course if you look at Tesla’s own data they claim to the orders of magnitude safer, which I’m sure is only possible with some creative data manipulation, but it’s silly to claim that Tesla’s are less safe than average.

Well, Tesla is publicly traded, makes money, and clearly their cars work because they have lower than average road fatalities. With the disparity of how badly Twitter’s being run vs Tesla I wonder how long it’s been since Elon’s actually been in charge of anything other than being a spokesperson for Tesla.

This graph has some scale issues; 5 days and 2 months look basically the same and the difference between 5 years and 7 years is also minimal. They would have been better off dropping the “World Wide Web” which doesn’t fit anyway since it isn’t an app and giving more space to everything else.
