Somehow I don't think Errol Musk knew that much about the geology. Allegedly he bought the shares on a whim without first visiting the mine, which was in a different country.
Mines can absolutely become suddenly unprofitable. You don't know how much good stuff is in the ground until you dig it up.
The mine went bankrupt in '89, just a few years after Errol bought shares in it. The boss was someone else.
I vaguely remember a video about history of weapons that goes like "rock, fast rock, pointy rock, (...) spicy rock dropped from big metal bird" (nuke) but I can't find it again. Does it ring a bell for anyone here?
If someone wants karma they could host a modified instance where every post gets thousands of upvotes for free. Other instances can't really verify whether that's accurate.
One issue with the fediverse right now is that there are many redundant communities. Like !technology@beehaw.org, !technology@lemmy.ml, !technology@lemmy.world, etc all having essentially the same topic.
I think the easiest solution to this is to take reddit's multireddit feature, allowing users to create their own "technology" multi-community that includes all the popular technology communities from all the instances. Thanks to federation, the user could interact with this multi as if it was one big community. Perhaps a way to share the multi with others so that all the component communities get federate-mirrored to the new user's instance would be needed too.
If per-user instance filters are implemented, perhaps instances could have "default blacklists" for new users for stuff like exploding-heads or lemmygrad that most people don't want to see, with the option to manually un-block them if someone does want to see that.

Lemmygrad is blocked from federating with most other instances but still is a pretty large instance. Though that instance in particular is not very likely to look towards IPO.
It could happen if there was a very popular instance that didn't federate with others.
Because lemmygrad is pretty huge and other instances don't want their new users to be met with a flood of tankie content, most instances are blocking lemmygrad.
I don't have a script to automatically subscribe to a list of communities on a new account yet, that's a bit more difficult...
I made a little thing to more easily move to another instance:
A way to quickly grab a list of your subscribed communities.
Go to your list of subscribed communities, <yourinstance>/communities/listing_type/Subscribed/page/1 and create a bookmark with the following code as link:
code
``` javascript:(function() { const currentHostname = window.location.hostname; const table = document.getElementById('community_table'); const anchorTags = table.getElementsByTagName('a'); const communityUrls = [];
for (let i = 0; i < anchorTags.length; i++) {
const title = anchorTags[i].title.substring(1);
const parts = title.split('@');
const community = parts[0].trim();
const domain = parts[1] ? parts[1].trim() : currentHostname;
const communityUrl = https://${domain}/c/${community};
communityUrls.push(communityUrl);
}
const urlsText = communityUrls.join('\n');
navigator.clipboard.writeText(urlsText) .then(() => { alert('Community URLs copied to clipboard!'); }) .catch((error) => { alert('Failed to copy Community URLs to clipboard:', error); }); })();
Clicking this bookmark will automatically copy a list of all your subscribed communities and format the links so that you can pop them in the search bar of another instance to subscribe to them from another account.
It can only scrape what's on screen, so if your subscribed communities list is several pages long just click the bookmark for each page.
German "Catastrophe" is "Katastrophe". "Katzastrophe" is "Katze"+"Katastrophe", which in english would be "cat" + "catastrophe"... oh.
