Which will you choose?
  • 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.

  • Which will you choose?
  • Yup. I made a comment on !worldnews@lemmy.ml that criticized the recent rigged Venezuelan election, complete with citations. Banned for "misinformation". Sure, you can just go elsewhere, but "better mods" is subjective.

  • Who is Vivian Wilson? Elon Musk's trans daughter isn't letting her father define her
  • 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.

  • Car Repossessions Surge 23% as Americans Fall Behind on Payments
  • 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.

  • 'It is time for this war to end,' Harris tells Netanyahu; 'I will not be silent' on Palestinian suffering
  • No, politicians have to walk a fine line. Biden hadn't put much of a restriction on use of US weapons and his sanctions against violent settlers in the West Bank are ineffective. Israel has mostly ignored efforts to reign it in. Kamala could lay out some far more concrete measures that would get certain weapons revoked if civilian deaths remain high. At the same time, keeping Patriot missiles well stocked would not impact Palestinians at all.

  • 'It is time for this war to end,' Harris tells Netanyahu; 'I will not be silent' on Palestinian suffering
  • And that would likely severely impact her chances at the presidency. The attack ads practically write themselves. Trump would just bring up the October 7 attacks, opine that how dare she side with Hamas, and promise to not to abandon Israel. As horrified as many people are by the current war, most aren't ready to completely cut Israel off, especially if it can be framed against Hamas.

  • What things would you standardize globally if you were the Supreme Leader? All violations punishable by death.
  • Semantic versioning.

    Most of the time. I use calendar versioning (calver) for my internal application releases because I work in IT. When the release happens is more consequential than breaking changes. And because it's IT, changes that break something somewhere are incredibly frequent, so we would constantly be releasing "major" versions that aren't really major versions at all.

    OpenDocument.

    Agreed compared to .doc and .docx. And if you're going to version control it, markdown instead of a binary blob.

    For academic documents in STEM fields, I'd love to see a transition from LaTeX to Typst. Much cleaner, better error handling, and it has a web UI if people don't want to install a massive runtime on their own computer.

  • What things would you standardize globally if you were the Supreme Leader? All violations punishable by death.
  • Recipes in concrete metric units, preferably mass instead of volume. Recipes come together incredibly quickly when measuring out ingredients can just be dump-tare-dump-tare-dump instead of trying to get sticky ingredients like tahini out of a measuring cup.

    More torx screws. There are apparently some uses for phillips, but torx are criminally underused.

  • BRICS Officially Announces Financial System Similar to SWIFT
  • Mission Accomplished!

    There are lots of details left to hammer out. This is like an announcement that there will be a committee to commission a study to hire a contractor to change a light bulb. The process will likely take a while and may not complete at all.

    Vegan sandwich protein

    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?

    Call for moderators

    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.

    Crossposting encouraged to !feminism@beehaw.org

    tl;dr: Please crosspost to our sister community !feminism@beehaw.org

    This is a followup to the previous post locking the community and redirecting to the more active community at !feminism@beehaw.org. 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 !feminism@beehaw.org and this community are asking our members to crosspost to both communities.

    NOT! Closing in favor of !feminism@beehaw.org
    beehaw.org Feminism - Beehaw

    Feminism, women’s rights, bodily autonomy, and other issues of this nature. Trans and sex worker inclusive. See also this community’s sister subs LGBTQ+ [https://beehaw.org/c/lgbtq_plus], Neurodivergence [https://beehaw.org/c/neurodivergence], Disability [https://beehaw.org/c/disability], and POC [h...

    Feminism - Beehaw

    The !feminism@beehaw.org community has long since become the largest Lemmy community. In acknowledgement of that, I have decided in consultation with @Gaywallet@beehaw.org 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:

    Uplifting Green News?

    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.
