It’s those fuckin’ junimos bro…

That first part is where I’m stuck lol. I am fine with maintaining a good ratio but have limited bandwidth to pass a big exam or get in with the right crowd socially…

We absolutely do not need any more “strong progressive voices” whatever that even means.

This type of superficially “””progressive””” rhetoric while propping up technocratic neoliberal policies is exactly why the NDP is in the gutter.

What we actually need is an organized, unified left taking wealth back from those who’ve stolen it & using it to fix the abhorrent decline in our wages and living standards over the past 30-40 years.

Labour and wealth equalizing policies are wildly popular on all sides of the political spectrum in this environment. That the NDP is suffering a historic loss as we speak is a scathing rebuke of their inability to hold capital accountable and seize an election that was always theirs to lose.

We don’t need any more people waxing poetic about voices. We need the NDP to roll up their sleeves and start hitting back.

I’ve heard it’s best to just buy a domain for your email for hopscotch reasons

That’s so wholesome 🥺 thanks!

Yooo is that actually a storyline in the game? Cutee

Alex.

I’m a trans woman with a problematic attraction to any man who would’ve bullied me in high school.

Before you ask—yes, I am aware this is the only reason anybody ever marries Alex.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised given the complexity of the problem. But all of these points in one article seem quite overwhelming.

Personally I think access to family doctors and stronger communities (get people off their phones and talking to their neighbours) would fix the lions share of these issues.

Reproductive health needs to be protected. Well honestly it’s insane to me that it’s not a given. What the hell sort of dystopian society are we devolving into.

We should be explicit about some things:

• It is the project of capitalists & the new regime to divide and conquer Canada by stoking the flames of western alienation
• Danielle Smith is merely the next step in a media pipeline that we’ve unfortunately allowed to progressively rot our country for the past 20 years
• She is openly admitting to the fact she incited a foreign leader to interfere in Canada’s sovereign elections
• The everyday people of Alberta are not to blame for this situation—their disillusionment and vulnerability to grifters like her did not come from nowhere
• When fascism rears it’s head, the working class must band together, and that includes reaching out to Albertans

any year is better than a future year

Not true for everybody. Sometimes people decide to put off transition for practical or safety reasons. They aren’t necessarily wrong for doing so. Earlier is not always better.

Big agree!

This is a great tip. But also SDV is so affordable given the value

Concerned Ape is such a wholesome developer who keeps giving us content so I have no issue paying full price on every platform

Great. And they need to start hosting publicly funded fediverse instances too.

Clearly, you do. And they’ve convinced you to blame your neighbor for the boot on your neck.

If you think democracy is to blame here, you need to educate yourself about how things work down there. Capitalists have bought and paid their way through elections playing both parties for decades & pumping out propaganda from the media networks they own.

There is no party for the working class in the US. Voters largely did NOT vote for Trump. They voted to abstain or held their nose and voted for the least-bad option. And of those who did vote for Trump they did so in protest & a lack of better options. That’s why Trump is in office, and the oligarchs are just playing you into believing otherwise lest the working class realizes we outnumber them.

Blaming common folk for the exploits of billionaires is exactly what your owners want you to be doing. Your anger and outrage is important and valuable, but you need to wake up and place the blame where it belongs.

This is one of the best initiatives I’ve seen from a government in a long-ass time. Such a railway would be a boon for our economy. As a Montrealer, the only thing I can say is I’m pissed it didn’t already happen three decades ago.

$80 bn is chump change for something this critical. It will in the long run pay for itself via increased productivity and other benefits to our Canadian economy.

This is a class war, don’t get it twisted. The working class in the US are a bulwark against that shit coming here.

By all means, fuck the Cheeto & large American corpos. But working class is working class. Don’t be selling us out to Loblaws just because you decided some farmer in Minnesota is to blame for the broken system they have down there.

Yeah, no. Ban the tags. Thank you.

Thanks, I’ll DM you some concerns I have I think the admin might want to consider first. But maybe!

Thank you for this! It’s helpful to have a rough guide of how things move over.

First off, I’ve definitely been telling them! And I’d suspect they’ll also read it here. I definitely agree that moderating is a really thankless job. It’s also not something I have the temperament for.

Long story short I think we need a landing place for point 1. Whatever server hosts us to start might not need to be the one that hosts us forever.

I’m in the background working on a project relating to point 1 but don’t want to speak too publicly about it given the unsavoury parts of the Internet that stalk trans communities.

If blahaj or some other instance could host us that would be great but also I can think of several reasons they might not want to & I don’t know them so it’s hard to say it’s the right spot long term. If my project works out and brings more helpers to the community maybe that’s not an issue.

Recruiting mods I don’t know. I could do it for a bit but it’s not my strength. Past a certain point in growth it’d need others to take over.

I have quite a bit of knowledge and am happy to seed discussions. There are really no articles to post on this topic. It’s people sharing experiences and asking questions. I think a bot to cross post new threads and then some active users posting their replies on Lemmy then letting OP know “I answered on Lemmy” is a better approach.

For the wiki I really don’t know what’s going on with it. I was seeing people say they were scraping it for backups. A lot of the wiki links to Reddit. I’m personally like in favour of letting other people handle it for now. The loss of community to my mind would be worse than the loss of the wiki (though both are bad).

Of course there is a whole other issue here in terms of how prepared Blahaj would be to handle the incoming heat from certain parts of the Internet that watch our subreddit.
