I never heard of Naomi Wu before.

All of the sudden, articles like this one are all over the place showing a woman with red hair in provocative outfits claiming to be a tech activist being silenced.

Would anyone care to give me a two line summary of who she is and what her deal is?

TNG also failed to flesh out the details of how their economy worked.

It is very easy to say "everyone is just happy and behaves well".

I joined Squabbles in June and liked it until the "free speech site" announcement.

I loved the lack of content ranking and downvoting so someone suggested Beehaw.

It seemed to me that the developer/admin jayclees was your basic tunnel visioned coder ignorant of news/current events. I got the feeling that he isn't politically invested. He just wanted to be left alone to code, so he changed his rules taking away the justification for messaging him. Posting on the site really slowed down. It looks like he lost many of his active users and kept his lurkers. I guess he figures it is worth the price of being left alone and that he will eventually get regular active posters again.

How did they even get the contact information for the jurors in the first place?

Is it legally public knowledge?

At least in the U.S. taxation wouldn't be needed for animal product prices to reflect their true costs.

Just remove the large government subsidies the animal product industry enjoys and let the free market raise the prices.

I doubt it would happen.

Those subsidies exist because the Nixon administration created them after Americans complained about high food prices. It would be political suicide to remove those subsidies, especially with inflation and price gouging disguised as inflation driving up food prices.

Thanks, but I am a desktop web browser user.

Thank you.

I agree with the title.

My problem with safe spaces on Reddit and to a less extent other web forums is a clear separation between them and discussion forums.

Reddit ( and other forums ) didn't have a way to visually and otherwise separate them from other discussion forums.

They looked just like every other sub where everyone was free to give their polite opinion.

That or you are enjoying a sub, a new crowd shows up, new mods show up, and you begin getting attacked along with everyone else who wasn't there for a safe space.

I'm using a desktop web browser.

How would I block those instances?

I think safe spaces should be very visually different from discussion forums.

The reception I am getting here is the nicest I've gotten since I left Reddit to try other platforms. It is quickly changing my impression of Lemmy.

Thank you!

Jack Smith seems like he knows what he is doing, but I hope that is enough time to get Trump convicted by Super Tuesday.

You’re not wrong about the tankie thing, I’d say it’s the major conflict in the “threadiverse” right now.

That is GOOD to hear. I came across a post on Reddit about the founder a few months ago. I posted about it on my Mastodon account and got some crap from some guy about it, but that was about it aside from apathetic responses. I got the impression nobody cared.

Thanks for the very helpful information.

This is the nicest reception I've gotten on any platform since Reddit diaspora.

Better than awesome! I've got so many nice responses. My impression of Lemmy is changing quickly! Thank you.

Indeed!

I am using it now. Thanks for the tip!

Can I use either of those with my BeeHaw account?

I joined BeeHaw because I don't like downvoting and content ranking.

Thanks for the URLs.

Wow! Alexandrite.App is MUCH nicer! Thanks for the tip!

What is "maker space"? What is the CPP besides a C++ file? A Chinese agency?

I don't think produce would go down in price, just that their price would seems so much more appealing over non-subsidized meat.

Yah, it will never happen.

Kind of frustrating since you can see it fitting in with the "Tax me less, don't use my tax money to subsidize someone else!" mentality.

About a year or two ago I learned how to make custom Ublock filters for an old web board I use. No easy task, so I really appreciate this. Thank you!

Thank you!
