i am not good wit hcomputer
nobody really knows how lemmy works tbh and I have to manage that thing somehow
Imagine a bunch of cities run by different mayors. They all run their own cities but people can freely travel between them, go to the restaurants, visit friends, and more. If one mayor goes insane the other mayors can ban citizens from visiting their city. But there’s only so much power one mayor has since they’re under the state government.
Congrats, you now understand federalism. Idk how Lemmy works either.
I think I’ve seen one explanation of it that didn’t leave me more confused than when I started and I already forgot it
Imagine you have a mutated horse. It has many heads. You can only see one. You can pick which one you see. But whichever head you see will tell you what the others are like, what they’re doing and saying, etc. So you ride your horse, it looks like a normal horse, but secretly it has many heads, but to ride it you have to talk to the head that knows you. You could introduce yourself to the other heads but maybe they won’t be as nice as the head that you know. When the horse runs, it sees with all of its heads and talks to you in a language that reflects it’s thousands of perspectives.
Very cool analogy made of horse shoes
