  • Agree, Momo is GREAT! I resonate a lot with both books.

    The fantasy parts of the NES sometimes feel like allegory but mostly feel like folly.

    Note that (if I’m not mistaken), NES is mostly an adaptation of Nietzsche’s ideas:

    • Will to power = “Do what you wish” written in Auryn
    • Eternal recurrence = many “infinite loops” hidden over the book

    Many parts of the book make more sense once I was aware of those references (which was not so long ago).



  • I thought about adding a warning about the movies… I find very hard to ackowledge they exist (half kidding :P). Not because they are bad, but they are sooo different from the book; it’s sad for me that they are the reference for the name.

    I’m not sure I would recommend the book to children younger than … (?) 11-12 years old. Although maturity in this regard is very personal and subjective and I’m not the one to say who should read what.





  • I’m not an expert, so those who know more, please correct me.

    FYI: with the script User Details on Hover you can also see karma in Lemmy. Example.

    From what I understand, there are technical issues with this. Allowing people to hide the karma if they want is easy. But blocking people for seeing karma even if they want is much harder. Note that if you want karma for posts and comments (to be able to sort the most voted ones), then the user karma is just a very easy query away (just sum the karma of that user’s posts and comments). EDIT: I realize that this would not solve the issue either: There are technical ways to do anonymous and auditable voting, but I think that would be too overkill for the fediverse.
