This here is the Volt family.

Marty volt is small and so he can jump across a small stream. Put up a small net and it’s impossible for him

Victor, though. He’s got some strong legs. He can jump the net and the stream.

In fact, he’s so strong he can jump over a small river but not if you put a small wall across the way. Then, even with a running jump, he’ll be blocked.

And finally there’s Kal, ahem, Clark Volt. He’s super strong. So strong it could be an ocean and with a little jaunt before leaping he’d jump it.

The stronger the volt, the further they can go and the bigger the obstacle you need to make it impossible for them to make it.

So high enough voltage can literally leap through air (that’s the arcing you see in power plants shorting or lightning) or even wood itself. Even rubber, with a high enough voltage, will be conductive since the sheer force of the current will find a path for the charge.

That’s also why we have lighting rods, it’s easier to redirect the current to a safe spot made to handle it than to try and make high skyscrapers out of a material that can resist the insane charges of lightning and still be strong enough and light enough to build with.

What happens to posts/comments and any media/content that is hosted on a server that just goes away (for example if I created one virtually and then deleted it or if a sdcard on a pi is corrupted)

They could be. Or they could be sales, or brand ad coordination, or hr, or legal handling the various issues related to products, lawsuits, regulations, actual law enforcement inquiries, etc.

Like any corporation there’s a ton of backend staff doing stuff people don’t see because it makes the parts they do see operate.

For anybody doing this seriously be careful. High salt/protein and low water sounds like a recipe for all kinds of issues.

For example extremely high water low salts can cause brain swelling and death.

As an aside kudos for the accessible description of the image.

And make it easier for Reddit to take the moral high ground by saying that those protesting the changes are somehow aligned with this group.

All I can say is this. Get off my side, you’re making me look bad whether you intended to or not.

What would be great would be some list (maybe a wiki) showing where each community has gone.

E.g. 3Dprinting has a discord here, squabble there, and these lemmy instances.

That way the communities can find them and, in time, migrate toward whichever one(s) make sense
