Amazon Restore is one that I’ll be watching from now on!

Is a fruitarian someone who only eats fruit?

Yes.

Do these people exist?

Yes, though not many of them as far as I know.

Do they have normal bathrooms?

Most probably poop outside or in a bucket, at least if their situation allows.

slrpnk.net already has its own XMPP chat option where one’s Lemmy username (e.g. user@slrpnk.net) is one’s XMPP address, and I imagine that other instances could do something similar if they wanted. XMPP is federated, so it doesn’t require any Lemmy-side coding for the federation aspect. For instance-wide chat (visible to all users of the instance), an implementation in XMPP would probably be easier as well, perhaps using some form of the group chat functionality. What does your proposal offer that cannot be done using XMPP?

The article is definitely lacking details about the Moche and Chimu cultures. The coast of Peru has a history of severe droughts and floods and landslides and earthquakes, yet these people had advanced irrigation systems and managed to live in such an environment for centuries. From what I understand, it’s the communal management and temporary nature of the irrigation infrastructure that differs from modern methods, but the how of managing it and moving it over time is left out. If anyone knows more, perhaps they can comment here.
