    Veins are small so capillary action keeps things in order.

    With no gravity though you’ll have higher blood pressure to your head (and less to the legs)- it kinda makes astronauts faces a bit puffy. iirc this can slightly negatively affect vision long term.

    Most of your body processes are in a small enough space that capillary action overtakes gravity.















  • I believe it’s three instances that were picked for the moment, including mine (I’m the admin) which has been going for nearly 3 years. I think their logic is to spread people out from the big instances.

    I would want to know the answer to questions such as: (1) are there multiple people on the instance admin team, (2) are they well-funded, since a negative answer to either of those might mean that the server disappears six months from now, which is a major inconvenience.

    I mean I think most people ending up on that page probably don’t even know to ask. They may have no familiarity with fediverse software or what the hell an instance is. They just want to sign up to this reddit alternative they heard about.

    It’s a hard balance for sure.
