I hope you're right.

I have doubt, but also hope.

billionaires are a cancer on society [literally] in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

You are refuting an argument that I did not make.

I enjoy this type of debate, but this one doesn't seem to be getting anywhere. I'm moving on. Thank you, sincerely.

"Billionaires are literally cancer" is false specifically because "literally" does not mean "figuratively".

Correct. But that is not what OP said. Read it again and I think you will see that OP is saying that "Billionaires are cancer" is not a figurative statement at all, but a literal one. You can disagree with them (I do, btw), but they have not misused the word "literally."

"Billionaires are literally cancer" is simply a false statement, unless "literally" was used, incorrectly, as hyperbole.

That is my point. Literally can be used correctly in a statement that is not correct, and my reading of the original post is that was OP's intention. They did not misuse the word "literally."

I'm not debating the meaning of the word cancer.

Edit to add: OP says cancer can be used literally to refer to billionaires, you say it cannot. One of you must be wrong, but neither is misusing the word "literally."

I want to go to heaven, but only if I can stay here too. I love the real world much more than any fantasy one.

The recent horrible events in New Orleans reminded me of another disaster that happened there 20 years ago. This is a song about that.

Youtube "subscribes" in Newpipe (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

When I subscribe to someone's youtube channel through Newpipe, does their subscriber count on youtube go up? Or is subscribing just telling Newpipe to bookmark that content for me, but doesn't tell youtube anything?

The reason I ask is because the subscriber count on youtube could be an underestimate that way.

What happens to downvotes when instances have different policies? (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

My instance has downvoting enabled, but I've learned that some other instances do not. Do the vote totals look different to users on different instances? It seems like some users on instances that don't allow downvoting are unaware that it's not the same lemmy-wide. It would be pretty confusing for them to see their vote go down.
