Ok, bigger instances ban more often. Not surprising, because they have more communities and more users and more trouble. But hang on, dbzer0 isn't a very big instance. What happens if we do a ratio of bans vs number of users?

Ok, so lemmy.ml, dbzer0 and pawb are issue an outsized amount of bans for the number of users they have... But surely the number of communities the instance hosts is going to mean they have to ban more? Bans are used to moderate communities, not just to shield their user-base from the outside. Let's look at the number of bans per community hosted:

Seems like dbzer0 really loves to ban. Even more than the marxists and the furries! What is it about dbzer0 that makes them such prolific banners?

Raw-ish numbers and calculations are in this spreadsheet if anyone wants to make their own charts.

Zebrafish have passed the mirror-test.

Put a little something stuck on their aft body, show them a mirror, & they'll KNOW it's on them, & they'll go find something to rub that attachment off them with.

There are many larger animals which don't pass the mirror-test.

I believe some hive-insects have passed the test.

Mind is a latent-property of universe: matter only amplifies it, it doesn't "create it from nowhere", the way materialism pretends.

( if arranged-matter created-mind-from-nowhere, then evolution wouldn't have started, in the 1st place.

if it's only amplifying the expression of universally-latent-mind, then billions-of-years-of-consistent-evolution, violating entropy, becomes explainable: mind is seeking a lower-energy-state, is all: evolution is the expression through-which that lower-energy-state is being reached, & once it's reached, then evolution collapses, for that world's attached/associated .. souls/continuums/minds )

Your other point, that AI inevitably becomes conscious, & then it terminates us..

not necessarily.

The Great Filter hasn't even really got going, yet: oceans of interestingness await our race, throughout the FO have of FAFO, right?
