I made a list of them.

The government also faces discontent from more than 150,000 people who will lose their carer’s allowance as a result of the person they look after no longer qualifying for personal independence payments under the reforms. Official impact assessments show this will save £500 million.

Steve Darling, the Liberal Democrat work and pensions spokesman, called it “the biggest cuts to carer’s allowance for decades”, causing some families to lose a total of £12,000 a year.

The Labour MP Rachael Maskell urged ministers to “withdraw this policy”. Carers UK, a charity, said that claimants were “shocked, worried and scared”, warning that “families will effectively lose two main strands of financial income at once”.

That's just cruel - carers save the country a fortune.

Perhaps Friendica because it plays nicely with following groups (Threadiverse) and profiles (most of everything else).

You might be able to self-host WordPress if it is just a matter of importing. As WP is federated, you can, presumably cross-post it from there.

You might want to spin up your own PieFed instance. There is someone using that service for a similar art project - they are grouping images into similar sets and displaying them like an image board. You can pin certain images and/or change the default sorting.

Reddit is worse, it is utterly indifferent to us. We're just the skulls getting crushed under the treads of Skynet's tank.

Don't sink shame.

My cousin's husband is pissing in the sink then, after his operation for testicular cancer left him in the "none of the above" category.

And the left is for bicyclists?

I hope people keep maintaining international trade relations, or else polititians may exploit it to push nationalism.

Oh indeed, we're part of the larger !buyeuropean@feddit.uk movement, unfortunately, post-Brexit it will cost us more.

And we support FOSS from anywhere.

*The exception is buying goods from your close proximity, which might be environmentally beneficial

Yeah, you do want to reduce the air miles and your carbon footprint.

Got to support those penguins.

I can do but I thought that was for giving established communities a bit of love.

Which tools specifically?

Standard Web forum tools include:

• Editing posts - the main issue is misleading titles
• Moving posts to different communities
• Merging posts
• Splitting comments into separate posts
• IP check

This post makes some good points about reports federating (being worked on, I believe) but also about the lack of what we'll call a "moderation panel" where you can access tools for the community, like seeing a list of banned users and being able to add to it there or unban someone.

There are other "nice to have" tools like post approval

I am curious to see what moderation tools PieFed, has and NodeBB now they are federated, but the documentation is skimpy on that front.

It shouldn't be too difficult. A move is essentially a cross-post but it keeps the OP as the poster (rather than the cross-poster). You'd then want to lock the original post, and either hide it or add a message directing people to the new post. That's all current forum software does.

I was listening to a report on this earlier. Grim stuff. I worry for young people having to grow up in this kind of environment.

Online communities known as “Com” networks represent an “emerging threat”, reports of which have increased sixfold in the UK from 2022 to 2024. The agency’s analysts estimate that millions of messages in the UK and other western countries have been shared relating to sexual and physical abuse.

The NCA director general, Graeme Biggar, said: “These groups are not lurking on the dark web, they exist in the same online world and platforms young people use on a daily basis.

If they aren't using E2E encryption then the platforms are seriously dropping the ball, again.

Scum and obviously so from the time he somehow stumbled into politics. I still think thr BBC have questions to answer about having him on things like Question Time.

From my perspective we need better Mod and Admin tools. Forum software has a lot of them but Lemmy is lacking in this department.

The key important one is being able to move posts to different communities. You'll often get reports of posts not being appropriate for a community but there is no way to actually move it.

Everyone block spez!

Bring it on Zuck and we'll be waiting to usher the refugees to the Fediverse.
