The book is number one on Amazon. Best way to win.

Unsurprising. The proposed moderation system for the platform allows child sexual assault material (csam) just as long as it is labelled. - https://github.com/bluesky-social/proposals/tree/main/0002-labeling-and-moderation-controls

I’ve been using Solid Explorer for years. There’s likely something better now, but it’s served me well.

“Maybe even better than Temple of Doom”

They should put that on the posters.

Damned with faint praise, indeed.

The migration from Digg (and /. beforehand) didn’t happen overnight. Also subreddits didn’t even appear until 2008. These things take time, and that’s good. Lemmy is not ready for mass adoption, but it will be soon enough.

Voting because someone else does or doesn’t vote this way or that is sport not politics. I would hope that most people take it far more seriously.

Megathreads were an improvement over the same story being posted a hundred times (not an exaggeration).

With regards to the question: the bigotry, the boy’s clubs, the tactics to deliberately exclude some members from the conversation. I doubt Lemmy will avoid them wholesale, but maybe they will be curtailed and limited to a few instances.

A mate from high school wrote off three Toranas in his first year of driving. One on the day he got his licence. He was still alive ten years later, surprisingly.

My wife insists the English recipe ones have vinegar in them.

The Left Hand of Darkness by Le Guin.

Australian mortgages are usually over a 30 year term.

Now I understand why I prefer radlers. Life makes so much more sense now =).

TBH I don’t see a way back for them.

They’ve wedged themselves with this culture war nonsense. They’d need to wind that back to become popular enough to form a majority, but that would drive away their ‘core’ voters. I suspect they’ll soon be relegated to the electoral effectiveness of One Nation. Especially as the media landscape continues to evolve.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we see someone like the Greens forming the official opposition within a few years.
