I'm no great friend of American foreign policy but I have to say they are by no means the only ones at it. Look at France with its two colonial Francs in Africa and the way China uses RMB internationally, especially in Africa again

Fuck that would look amazing with some townhouses all around the base and all up the trunk and a couple of real estate offices in the middle

Hectic. Is there any reason it wouldn't be considered the first steam vehicle?

I call it Chermo or Chermobyl to give it its full name. This "chermy" reeks of either their marketing team or Victorian immigrants.

Parliament is a group dedicated to ensuring matters affecting any group of peoples are represented.

I am against the voice because it prioritises things based on who people are and not what their needs are. E.g. I would happily vote yes to a voice to parliament for domestic abuse survivors, but I would not for a voice to parliament for Chinese international students.

Yeah I get that, but I am still hopeful that we can see a spectrum of attitudes in moderation and cultural bias now rather than American way or no way.

Maybe they looooove centralised, commercial solutions?

 

Come back warm weather please, sick of being so cold

Quite keen to get out from under American "Community Standards", US defaultism and the extreme censorship that became prevalent on Reddit. I think the Fediverse taking off would be a paradigm shift in the way communities can be run, surviving any pushes to moderate to a particular agenda or set of tastes, and reduce the effectiveness of consensus manufacturing.

Worked examples could be that, fast forward 5 years, some Brisbane communities might allow casual use of swearwords like cunt and shit, or even slurs when used demonstratively (to the satisfaction of the community), whereas others wouldn't. And both would be valid choices and users could manage it by subbing and unsubbing as they see fit.

Another cultural standard around casual or non-sexual nudity - e.g. would you need to tag a streaker on a footy pitch as NSFW or require their nipples to be blurred - could be permitted to develop away from the American prudishness, again some communities allowing it and some not.

 

I'm currently userhomed on aussie.zone and reading the All feed I see activity from an instance I have absolutely no desire to see any content from on any of their communities, but I do still want to engage in discovery via the All feed - can I block out this undesirable instance at all?
