  • Accroding to wiki then this(fediverse) should be linked to platforms like pixelfed and mastadon too, is it? How do I see content from them or in what way are these platforms interlinked with this reddit styled one?

    As this has not been answered yet: Mastodon treats lemmy-groups as users, so you can see a user @[email protected] boosting your question on mastodon. Your profile yourself looks like any mastodon profile on mastodon. However, your post contains only the title and a link to it:

    (Currently, I see no lemmy answers and boosts to your question, which I believe has to do with federation - I had to open your post by opening the link to it in mastodon, because neither this community nor your profile were “known” by my mastodon instance before).

    I could now interact with your post from mastodon by replying to it, which would then show up here (usually obvious from the reply starting with tagging your username, which is how a reply on mastodon looks like).

    Furthermore, you can use mastodon to post in this community by tagging the community profile (in the @[email protected] format) in your toot. The first line of your toot is handled as the title of the lemmy post.

    I have no knowledge of how federation between lemmy and pixelfed/peertube etc works, but federation between these and mastodon works pretty good - mastodon posts with pictures pretty much look like native pixelfed posts and vice versa, and peertube videos can be watched and commented easily from mastodon. The condition js that they are federated to the respective servers.














  • I think you have some misconceptions about psychology in general. E.G. you name Stanford Prison, and then explain that it has not been replicated. The act of trying (and failing) to replicate those results is psychological research, and then you reference this research as argument against psychology. Also, you seem to suggest like psychology is deterministic (A happens to someone, so they react in way B), while it is a probabilistic science (if A happens to someone, the chance that they will react in way B increases by X% to Y% with a probability of 95%).

    One comment on your example: The prisoner’s dilemma (the way I know it) is not a psychological, but a game theoretical concept and is usually applied with the assumption of rational actors a one-shot interaction, which means that it doesn’t apply to your situation with your friend.

    In general, it seems that your disdain for psychology stems from laypersons’ broad and biased understanding of psychological concepts.
