Republicans Are at War With College Towns. And They’re Losing.

  • The US also needs to rethink the way the electoral college works. Cos those GOP states still have ability to set federal law that apply to all.

    I've been rather hoping that Cali starts to discuss secede from the union (I wouldn't be at all surprised to find one the the far right states tried to do it first).

  • I think we are saying the same thing. The best option is the recycling the toxic mess into valuable commodities and clean water.

    • Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?

    Jump

  • Yes. Trying at least; (imo) Lemmy hasn't quite got the critical mass yet. The official Reddit app is so crappy that each time I find myself being drawn back in, I leave really quickly. I didn't expect me to find it that bad.

  • I'm not going to argue against anything you've said, I'm not going to try to fact check it, & I believe to be largely correct.

    I also think its irrelevant.

    In the next few years (couple of decades) we are going to see increased wildfire burning of the boreal forests in the global north which is going to release (what I believe is technically called) "a catastrophe fuck-ton" of gasses into the atmosphere. We've tipped over the tipping point.

  • Is the poster's IP address, system, or other system identifier/location, tracked?

    If I have users giantshortfacedbear and throwaway123. Then it could be inferred or impled that they are same person if there are from the same IP or phone.

  • Flush the water out is really the only option, the longer it sits in tailings ponds the more likely it is to have an uncontrolled spill. We absolutely need someone we can trust to define 'clean' though -- and that's not the government nor the mining companies; and we need someone we can trust to monitor it and confirm it is 'clean'.

    • Reddit refugees, has your favorite sub migrated already?

    Jump

  • That's so cool. I might spin up a test community to have a play with that.

  • I've wondered how hard it would be to write a bot that, for each new link-post in a particular sub in Reddit, it creates a corresponding link-post in a matching community in Lemmy. Intrinsically I feel like it would be easy, and might make the switch for users from there to here easier as it is already seeded with 'the content'.
