I’ll bite the bait and ask you to explain how Starlink satellites contribute towards the space junk problem without having to reference astronomy or bringing up you-know-who’s name.

As far as we’re aware, dark matter only interacts with the universe gravitationally. It doesn’t even interact with itself, which is why we don’t see dark planets/stars/galaxies popping into existence. It only follows normal matter around.
As for why it’s not called cold, is for two reasons:
Cold gases of normal matter can condense to form stars. Dark matter doesn’t interact with itself, which implies it cannot condense into more concentrated forms of itself the way a gas cloud can eventually form a star.
We just don’t know what the stuff is, it could be clouds, planets, black holes, neutron stars, brown dwarfs, etc. But our best observations of dark matter are from very large distances away where we can measure the distortion of spacetime due to dark matter. We can’t see these smaller objects at these distances. But we should be able to see other clues that would indicate it’s normal matter.
If it happened to be clouds of gas and dust that overall had a net gravitational effect on the background galaxies, we’d be able to detect the spectral lines of these clouds. Same for just about all the other objects in that list. In some cases we do detect intergalactic gas clouds. But in places where there’s very clearly unaccounted for gravitational lensing, there isn’t any sign of this. So far the only things we can match up to the observations is a mathematical model of the stuff.
I’m not the most on point as far as keeping up with the internet so possibly it is actually happening, but I have not yet identified a direct challenge to Facebook from the fediverse that has been settled on by those already here....
From a technical standpoint, I can’t see media-heavy social media in the format of Facebook lasting too long in a federated environment considering the costs involved to maintain the server instance. Trying to do that while being free is absolutely unsustainable. Another shift in resource management would have to happen before platforms like that would be inexpensive and scalable.
Currently, Lemmy instances are slowly and steadily growing with each user interaction within, and between instances. Most shared content is link aggregation meaning minimal server resources. But resource usage goes up much faster when images, or even videos are uploaded to be shared. This format will only grow more expensive over time, and definitely won’t last in the current format.

Why have we not done a federated Facebook replacement yet?
