Not objective in the sense that aliens would come to the same definition for what is and isn’t a planet. Compare that to something like what the elements are.

Like I said, I’m not talking about specific sites, I’m talking about moderation style.

So you’re saying things just exist, and as humans we categorize them? Because that’s what I said.

My questions weren’t homework problems with 500 duplicates. Maybe that type of shit being the most common in the vote to close queue is why fuckfacerubberstamper can’t be bothered to actually think about what they’re closing as dupes.

Like Lemmy? The site we’re all using?

But no my point wasn’t about a specific site, it’s about the moderation approach. Do you really think there’s no middle ground in approach to moderation between Yahoo Answers and StackOverflow?

There is no objective criteria for what a planet is and isn’t. Like a lot of things in nature, things just exist, and as humans we categorize them.

You’re the second person to ignore the sentence immediately following that.

You don’t think there’s any middle ground between the two? None whatsoever?

The humans of StackOverflow have been pricks for so long. If they fixed that problem years ago they would have been in a great position with the advent of AI. They could’ve marketed themselves as a site for humans. But no, fuckfacepoweruser found an answer to a different question he believes answers your question so marked your question as a duplicate and fuckfacerubberstamper voted to close it in the queue without critically thinking about it.

Exactly! It’s right there past Mars! It’s not like it’s some weird thing off in the cold dark past Pluto.

There is no objective criteria for what a planet is and isn’t.

There is, though, or rather there should be another one.

The official definition says

But I also said,

Like a lot of things in nature, things just exist, and as humans we categorize them.

People fighting for Pluto that it should be a planet instead of a dwarf planet

Ceres: 🥺

Context: Ceres is now considered a dwarf planet, and used to be considered just an asteroid, but when it was first discovered it was considered a planet. That was in 1801. There is no objective criteria for what a planet is and isn’t. Like a lot of things in nature, things just exist, and as humans we categorize them. Ceres is round like a planet like Pluto. I’m not saying it should be considered a planet, I think dwarf planet fits them both nicely. As late as the 1950s Ceres was still sometimes considered a planet by some people.

I have a sort spot for it. I love it.

Edit: Because two people have misunderstood me now I’m going to say it more explicitly. I’m fully aware there is a scientific definition for dwarf planets. I’m not saying there isn’t. I’m just saying compared to something else like prime numbers there isn’t an obviously correct way to categorize them and the definition has changed over time. By stating the current definition of planets and/or dwarf planets you’re missing my point. Those definitions change. See here for the history.

In my naive view I don’t see why they wouldn’t just give less and less money until they’re effectively giving you none or even charging you for putting it back into the grid. It would then incenticize people to get battery banks and put it in during the night.

But again, naive view. Maybe I’m missing something obvious.

It doesn’t have a direction.

I don’t know anywhere you can actually sell it back to the network, usually they just give you credits that deduct future payments, so you can’t ever get money out of it. But maybe that’s only some places.
