I think I get the point you're making but climate change will fuck over the same people who end up getting fucked over by war.
As is often the case, the wealthiest can deal with the side effects of climate change. The ones who will be most affected by famines and natural disasters are the poorest, most marginalised, most deprived.
I suspect it'll make conflict more likely, not less.
The policy doesn't matter as the police selectively enforce it.
It's not a typo, I just lazily wrote the comment like I'd speak.
No, it's fine.
The "community" is here, not a matrix chat.
Nothing prevents you setting up your own instance. In fact, I'd say you probably should. If you've invested so much into this name already, then you may as well.
Not sure why you assume this? I never made the claim
Yeah, that is a close gap that could easily be bridged by a consolidated conservative vote. Quite worrying, to be honest.
Illegal stuff should be a hard rule. By that I mean calls to action and explicit hate speech should be aggressively removed. It puts the instance at risk.
Auto-filtering might be useful for catching especially egregious words. They're easy to bypass but I guess it should deter some trolling. But it could be tedious if it is overly sensitive. Is it going to block people posting or commenting? Does it let you know you've been caught?
I'm really not sure how well policing "political" topics would go. It's political by nature, so I think even coming up with rules will end up devolving into political discussion. It's probably easier to just say "no hate speech".
I'm sorry but Quackhouse is a terrible name.
Great stuff. Good on you all for keeping this place alive.
[x] Doubt
Even if you disagree, using a pronoun is just polite. She'd have to go out of her way to do this.
Hope all is well with @Tom@feddit.uk and it's just a case of him abandoning his post.
Is there anything we can plan better for the new instance to prevent this happening again? It's a bit disappointing to have to leave, since we will no doubt lose a portion of the userbase due to this.
I'd like to follow, but don't know if I will since I may as well just make an account on one of the larger instances.
Games publishers are in a war of attention and don't want to compete with themselves. They won't sell you an old game if they can get you hooked on the new version with microtransactions and DLC with no story and sub-par multiplayer.
The next point is just making the case for open source.
