3 states sheltered at least 95% of their homeless people: Vermont (98%), Maine (96%), and New York (95%). Between 2020 - 2022, states with the largest % decreases in people experiencing homelessness were D.C. (31% decrease), New Mexico (23%), and New York (19%)

Largest airlines in the world by revenue and number of passengers carried (sorted by 2019 numbers rather than 2020 numbers, for obvious reasons) #aviation image

If Wordle could get mass appeal from the general audience as a PWA, why couldn't anything else?

I like that the "communities" NIP feels familiar compared to how subreddits work, but it has one of the biggest weaknesses (in my opinion) of the Reddit model: moderators of communities/subreddits that effectively act as feudal lords. If I want to follow posts about a topic by using hashtags, I have the freedom to see all posts tagged with that hashtag, sort them how I want in my feed, mute posts from specific people, etc. With the communities/subreddit model, I'm only able to see posts about a topic if the moderator of the community has deemed that post is allowed. This is kind of the same weakness of the fediverse, because it removes the centralized power that a platform owner like Reddit or Twitter has, but it simply shifts that power down one level and puts it in the hands of mods or instance owners.

@Alex Gleason Out of curiosity, does mostr.pub support Lemmy/Kbin? I've tried things like "android_at_lemmy.world@mostr.pub", but it just seems to load indefinitely.

Torrent search engines that crawl the DHT seem like they’d be the least likely to be taken down, as they don’t host any torrent files or run their own trackers, they simply crawl the torrent DHT directly for magnet links. Here's my favorite DHT-based torrent search engine:
