Is this actually working for anyone on lemmy.one right now? I have been unable to subscribe to any community/magazine/etc… that’s not already federated to lemmy.one for almost a week now.

I’ve tried searching by URL. I’ve tried searching by !name@server.

Nothing works, it just sits there. I’ve hit search multiple times. I’ve tried to be patient and just come back later and try again. I get there’s growing pains, and I’m guessing this server is getting overloaded. If that’s the case, the admin posting in Meta “hey we’re aware of the problems” would be nice.

In practice, I agree with you. The transporter scans, disintegrates, and reconstructs the thing being transported. But when the thing being transported is reconstructed at a subatomic level it is effectively identical.

I can imagine the society we see in startrek having already worked through the moral and philosophical implications. I would have loved to see that addressed in an episode tho.
