Do you recognise any usernames on Lemmy?

Although Lemmy's userbase is quite large,it still is small enough that I do often see the same people in comment sections. It feels though, that I should recognise more names, because I can only remember around 5 individual ones.

Look, I'm all for the squid to control the means of propulsion, but it's hard convincing others...

I'm introducing the theory of an "r-factor" that measures how capitalistic a country is.

r = 0 means pure socialism. Everybody gets the same amount of universal basic income, and earns nothing when they work hard.

r = 1 means pure capitalism. there is no social support programs, and what you earn depends entirely on your labour/wages.

in-between them, there's a linear interpolation.

(i invented that "r-factor" as a thought experiment yesterday, and now i like it.)

i'm for r = 0.5 btw.
