I wouldn't say that. It varies from subreddit to subreddit, community to community, instance to instance. And sometimes they are just staying within goals for the given space, regardless of whether it is Reddit or Lemmy. Your personal experience will often vary with how aligned you are with the viewpoints of mods, if they engage in heavy viewpoint discrimination.

Yup. I made a comment on [email protected] that criticized the recent rigged Venezuelan election, complete with citations. Banned for "misinformation". Sure, you can just go elsewhere, but "better mods" is subjective.

Deadname companies, not people.

There's a reason that countries started agreeing on a set of laws of war, and it wasn't the goodness of their hearts. It means if your own soldiers get captured by an enemy working under the same rules, they should ideally be treated with at least a minimal standard of care. But every incident like this or Abu Ghraib weakens those protections and norms.

Sometimes it feels like certain parts of humanity just didn't really learn all the lessons that they should have from the Holocaust about dehumanizing people.

I don't want to dig into life too much, just to respect her privacy, but I was very impressed with her response to her so-called father's bullshit tweet. Nice of her to post it on a competitor to Twitter while she's at it.

Chinese economy is successfully reorienting away from real estate towards high tech

functional government

Speaking of functional government, provinces rely on land use sales of various lengths. Many of them heavily overborrowed to build out infrastructure in anticipation of future land sales that are now lower or non-existent. And meanwhile, the real estate crisis is still quite active.

If the Chinese government was so special, it should have learned from the US's issues with companies that posed a systemic risk with inadequate oversight. Instead, they let Evergrande and others become way too large with too little oversight. They should have taken a cue from the financial regulators in the US, which identify systemically risky companies and imposes onerous regulations. Then at the height of the real estate bubble, Xi introduced a new set of policies that immediately popped the bubble instead of trying to ease it down. Too often, Xi in particular seems to work on principles like "people should invest wisely" instead of "if I introduce this policy, it will cause problems." The good news is that China does seem to be listening more lately, but it's already done damage.

How's Evergrande been these days?

Yeah, you tell them Margot! As only a strong Barbie could.

The RAM goes up to 64GB (2x32GB) for both Framework 13 and 16.

I haven't, but I have heard of it. I think parts of Lapce are based on some Zed algorithms.

 

I'm looking for a vegan sandwich protein recipe that is more of a whole food than the highly processed food that is often found in stores. So far, I'm going to try out lentil patties. I figure I can freeze a batch and stick them in the air fryer as needed. Any other ideas?

 

The mod team could use one or two more people. I joined a couple of years ago more as a caretaker for the space than someone with a passionate interest in building a community. Now that Lemmy is maturing, it's my hope to be replaced by someone who is willing to spend the time that it takes.

 

tl;dr: Please crosspost to our sister community [email protected]

This is a followup to the previous post locking the community and redirecting to the more active community at [email protected]. As several of the comments pointed out, beehaw has defederated with at least one popular Lemmy instance, lemmy.world. That would warrant keeping this community, the second largest feminism community by subscribers, open so that there is a feminism community on a general purpose instance.

However, we're still concerned with the low traffic here. The responses to the previous announcement post represent about half the comments from the past year. To facilitate growth, both [email protected] and this community are asking our members to crosspost to both communities.

The [email protected] community has long since become the largest Lemmy community. In acknowledgement of that, I have decided in consultation with @[email protected] to lock this community and redirect.

Personally, I am male and only took on the mod post to make sure Lemmy had a feminism community in the early days of Lemmy, so I'm happy to cede the title to a more vibrant community. If someone wishes to attempt to revive the lemmy.ml community, please get in contact.

Edit: In response to feedback, see:

 

A lot of news that comes out about the environment, climate change, and the like is very dispiriting. Has anyone seen a Lemmy community geared towards uplifting stories in the area? Species that are recovering, rivers that are being cleaned up, microbes being developed to eat plastic, that sort of thing.

 

Clarence Darrow was a famous American civil rights attorney of the 19th and 20th century. His most famous case with the "Scopes Monkey Trial", but he was involved in other high profile trials. This case was for a black family that moved into a white neighborhood and were attacked by a white mob. Henry Sweet of the family fired back in self-defense, killing a member of the mob. Partially on Darrow's closing arguments, Henry Sweet was acquitted under self-defense. Charges against the rest of the family were also dropped.

Darrow's speech is well ahead of its time, especially for a white man. He doesn't shy away from things like asking the all white jury to consider its own prejudice. In the hundred years since this speech, many Americans still are resistant to confronting their own prejudices.
