If your scope of concern is primarily aussie.zone / lemmy users, then are the spoiler tag things (like what’s used in the sidebar of [email protected] for example) sufficient for what you have in mind? The formatting won’t work on some non-lemmy platforms, but I assume the activity on aussie.zone is overwhelmingly from lemmy users.
Other than you (if you have notifications turned on) there’s gotta be close to 0 people who’ll ever see this, but here’s a link to the comic: https://falseknees.com/comics/247.html
Hope to see you around again in the future if/when you feel up to it - will miss you a little in the meantime!
Chaser’s got something pretty close: Indigenous elected official slammed for daring to speak out against unelected British man in Australian parliament
Yeah (Y)
For future, we do have !test so that !fedia can stay a bit more focused!
As the article already states, even with a ban it would still be a reactive process of taking it down after-the-fact, which we already know Isn’t Great™ based on other times when the juicy-but-false news headlines that come out first get more eyeballs than the later corrections.
Still, on balance it’s probably better than a complete free-for-all? I guess there’d need to be clear lines about what’s okay / not, as it seems very easy to overdo it if the language is too vague (e.g., in an extreme case, accidentally banning all manipulation of images / video in political contexts).
I feel like your preference makes sense when aligned from the perspective of a conventional forum-like platform. However I’d argue that that’s missing a core part of what kbin is/was – and by extension what Mbin is – which is the microblog integration alongside the forum-like stuff. With that context in mind, boosts (or whatever term you want to use for “retweet”) make sense to integrate imo.
Whether or not you think Mbin should try to integrate the microblog side of things is of course a subjective - I personally think it’s a cool idea to try at least, but with how dominant lemmy has become it can be difficult to reconcile differences and incompatibilities between it and other software like Mbin.
Mbin has a specific and different meaning for the term “post” as used in the OP, so it’s one place where translating from lemmy or other “generic internet forum” jargon doesn’t work. It’s for microblog posts associated with a magazine that are independent of threads in that magazine.
E.g.: https://fedia.io/m/firefox/microblog has “posts” in Mbin terminology – though if I had to guess I think most Mbin users will use the qualified “microblog post” or similar if they actually mean to reference the Mbin meaning of the term.
Oh man I got sniped by less than two minutes!
!fedia is sort of like announcements and discussion for fedia.io itself, not so much for general discussions. You can use Lemmy Explorer to find communities that might be more relevant, though unfortunately it doesn’t currently seem to index mbin, just lemmy and some old kbin stuff.
Fair point, but I guess I would hope that the person being paid to write the copy would check it, since getting that right seems like it’s part of their job description ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Or 53.6 degrees Fahrenheit if you believe whoever wrote the page for Nissan lmao. I guess they just typed it into a converter with no context, and the converter spat out an answer amounting to “if your thermometer says it’s 12 degrees C, that would be 53.6 degrees F”… but without that context.
Yeah, I’m saying you (as in “a person”, not you-you) could pick a few from these 50 - I’m not saying start reading 50 books and only finish the ones you like lol. I’d guess “experts” might pick a few of the titles different from popular ratings so there’s probably some meaningful differences vs “goodreads top 50 books by Australian authors”, but I’m not an avid reader so idk, maybe you’d have a better idea 😅
I guess for those who don’t read much it can give you an initial filter to use and then you can just pick a few that tickle your fancy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I know it all just boils down to cost-benefit analysis in the end, but I’m still understandably a little skeptical haha
To an extent, the report already agrees with you, as quoted in the article:
2024 opens a new chapter for the Reef. Future warming already locked into the climate system means that further degradation is inevitable. This is the sobering calculus of climate change.
Not sure whether it agrees to the point of voluntary suicide as a stake, but it’s not an area I know much about. From the report:
A vigilant, proactive and optimistic approach to management remains crucial. The Reef may be forever changed, but it has various possible futures. Choices made today can lead to vastly different outcomes — the path that unfolds will be shaped by the actions of many.
The future Reef will be altered by climatic changes already in motion, but just as every increment of warming compounds impacts, every effective action taken now contributes to a more positive long-term outlook.
Now that the email’s been swapped over, is the warning on the aussie.zone sidebar still needed?
