And there is going to be many who will say the answer to that is a "Good Cop With a Gun".

Yeah, what you just stated about a concave mirror is not only ludicrous, but would be very destructive to the wilderness and wildlife and probably would be time to contact every wilderness and wildlife defense group to have this so called start-up shut down.

Oh okay, it's just that I feel attached to the woodlands and find comfort being in the middle of the forest, and seeing what is going on here made me feel really concerned for the environment and nocturnal species. Like, what if you happen to be an animal that is on the prowl or is active at night and all of a sudden its daylight due to sunlight being reflected from a mirror in space?

Just looking at this has me feeling really concerned when it comes to the environment and nocturnal species.

I think the next step is to call for a criminal investigation into Elon Musk for installing spyware on a US Warship, and get him charged with espionage for the Russians or Chinese.

I wonder if "Elon Musk is absolutely a 'hate speech assholutist'" would fit him better, meaning that inviting him here to comment may end up with him in violation of 'Rule 6' and likely end up being banned with no warning given.

Okay, I just wanted to know whether or not it's B.S. and I wasn't sure what community I can ask about it in and thought to post it here. Now I'm thinking this may not have been the right community since I have been getting all downvotes here by the looks of it.

Next up, we hope to hear about "Texas Democrats Reform Civilian Courts Ready to Do People's Bidding against Corporate Greed"

I had finally gotten this response from Rooki at Lemmy.World which suggests I'm going to be needing help in finding a workaround here, if anyone can help me out.

Hi,

sadly there is no "Whitelist" or some sort for this, so we can not really do much about this for now.

Here is the repository if you want to track its progress / request such feature: https://github.com/db0/fedi-safety

With regards, Rooki

Oh, the link to my community is [email protected].

[–] KonalaKoala 1 points 4 months ago

The moment I saw the topic title, I immediately thought it was old growth forest that had been felled and was preparing for the possibility that I may have to start adding links to petitions and joining the protests here, since this is something that will be very upsetting to me even though this is in Germany, not koala habitat in Australia.

I'm a member in this community since I joined it sometime ago wanting to know what Lemmy Instances there are, but I'm not sure where I should be directed to if it were to be locked.

Edit: Holy cow, I was just looking in their profile and it looks like they are listed as a mod in over 112 communities.

 

Hi, I have recalled that I had been invited to post here sometime ago while I had some other issue going on, which I think it involved Reddit. Right now, I'm feeling okay, but perhaps feeling a little worried, and I'm wondering if I could talk about it here even though I'm on the spectrum as I had been diagnosed in the past with having Asperger's Syndrome. I must let you know that it may run long as it will probably also include experiences I had in the past since when I used to be a child.

Lately, I have been getting the following popup when I share various links to democratic petitions and take actions on Tribel, and it hasn't happened to me before.

So far, it has happened with trying to post the following:

  • A link to a petition to pass Automatic Voter Registration
  • A link to telling Congress to support Healthy School Meals for all
  • A link to a petition to remove Judge Aileen Cannon from Jack Smith's classified documents case against Trump
  • A link to a petition to demand the Supreme Court denies Trump’s immunity claim
  • A donation link to Stopping Third-Party Candidates Like RFK Jr. From Handing Trump Victory
  • A link to standing with Bernie Sanders in his fight to save Social Security
  • A link to telling Congress to pass the Black Maternal Health Momnibus
  • A link to a petition to demand felony charges against Cody Roberts for Animal Cruelty
  • A link to a petition to stand with President Biden and SAVE Medicare from Mike Johnson’s GOP House Majority
  • A link to Protect Pets And Wildlife From Agonizing Death in Heavy-Duty Rat Traps
  • A link to Urge Congress to pass Community Schoolyards® legislation
  • A link to telling your U.S. House representative to support the Plastic Pellet Free Waters Act
  • A link to telling Chief Justice John Roberts that Donald Trump is NOT above the law and should be PROSECUTED
  • A link for signing a letter for #TaxDay2024 to support policies that make the wealthiest individuals and corporations pay their fair share in taxes.
  • A link to a petition to FIRE Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.
  • A link to a petition to give Social Security seniors a stimulus payment.
  • A donations link to stopping voter suppression.
  • A link to a petition for Congress to SAVE the US Postal Service from bankruptcy.
  • A link to a petition to tell Congress to close the Medicaid gap.
  • A link to a petition DEMANDING every GOP insurrectionist to be REMOVED from Congress.
  • A link to a petition to support legislation to guarantee Vote by Mail in all 50 states.
  • A link to a petition demonstrating support for Bernie Sanders’ wealth tax on billionaires.
  • A donation link to stop Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from handing the election to Trump.
  • A link to demand Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert are EXPELLED from Congress.
  • A Change.org petition link to Return a dog named Oakley to His Rightful Home in Baldivis, WA
  • A Change.org petition link to Let’s get Thabo the wild monkey to safety!
  • And now a MoveOn Political Action donations link to Don't let MAGA's harrowing archaic vision for us become reality

These links so far are from the following organizations.

  • Change.org
  • Greater Good
  • Moms Rising
  • MoveOn Political Action
  • National Democratic Training Committee
  • Progressive Turnout Project
  • Public Interest Research Group
  • Retired Americans PAC
  • Stop Republicans
  • Trust for Public Land
  • Vote.org

I have tried contacting support over there numerous times already to find out what is happening, but I haven't gotten any response from them at all about it. The only answer I had gotten so far over there is from a user stating they have gotten it on occasion when I try to post a new post and think the site might have been hacked by Conservatives, or the site owner Omar may have gotten bought out by Conservatives for this to begin happening against Democratic links to help Democrats.

Right now, I'm not sure where I could be allowed to begin posting the links that are being blocked by the popup on Tribel, since I thought and it seemed like that site was left leaning. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to let me know here.

Edit: Removed all other edit notes again and added that it is now also happening with a link to a petition DEMANDING every GOP insurrectionist to be REMOVED from Congress.

Edit: Added its also happening again with a link to a petition to support legislation to guarantee Vote by Mail in all 50 states.

Edit: Added its also happening again with a link to a petition demonstrating support for Bernie Sanders’ wealth tax on billionaires.

Edit: Added its also happening again with a donation link to stop Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from handing the election to Trump.

Edit: Added its also happening again with a link to demand Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert are EXPELLED from Congress.

Edit: Added its also happening again with a Change.org link to Return a dog named Oakley to His Rightful Home in Baldivis, WA.

Edit: Added its also happening again with a Change.org link to Let’s get Thabo to safety!

Edit: Added its also happening again with a MoveOn Political Action donations link to Don't let MAGA's harrowing archaic vision for us become reality.

I just felt that I would also like to include this in here since it's a cartoon featuring a pair of koalas named Blinky Koala and Pinky Koala. It is an older cartoon from back in the 80s and early 90s called Noozles I liked watching when I was much younger.

If you haven't heard of it before, Noozles is about the adventures of a twelve year-old girl named Sandy Brown and her koala friends, Blinky and Pinky, who are from the extra-dimensional realm of Koalawalla Land and is where I had thought of the name for this community from.

Later on in the series, Blinky and Pinky bring Sandy to Koalawalla Land, which is ruled by this wise of koala who is known as the High Dingy Doo. Since humans aren't allowed there, Sandy has to wear a koala mask during each visit. Also according to the cartoon, there is a portal to Koalawalla Land at Ayers rock.

The koala I really like in Noozles is Blinky which this is what he looks like, even though his sister Pinky is also cute.

Even though he originates as a stuffed koala named Blinky that came in a package lost in a shipwreck 38 years ago from Sandy's long-lost grandfather, and is asleep until Sandy gives him a 'noozle' which wakes him up from magic sleepy time where he appears to be a stuffed toy, I have been wondering if there was an actual stuffed toy made of him.

Since there doesn't appear to be any and no picture anywhere suggesting that it had existed at one time in the last thirty to forty years, I have been thinking about getting one made and thought about how it may look like if a four foot high Super Sydney Koala was used and dressed in Blinky's clothes.

Since I seen one years ago on eBay that was already sold at the time, I have managed to save the picture of it to show what I would be looking for, which this is what it looks like.

By the way, I did find out there was a Noozles plush that had been available sometime ago when I asked someone on another social network if Blinky existed as a plush toy, and got sent this picture which I have saved for reference.

From what I can tell, that plush koala appears to have originated from Japan since it looks like its written in Japanese on the box, but it doesn't look like Blinky or Pinky in it and has me wondering who it could be, the High Dingy Doo perhaps?

 

I was trying to post about a login issue I'm having on Reddit at this time where it is rejecting my correct password for my account on there even though I'm putting in the correct password. The only way I can get around it is by doing a password reset request, then try to change my password to the current one which it tells me that I can't change it to my current password, and then close out of that and try to login again which it then works. I don't even know if there is some sort of flag on my Reddit account that is causing me this issue, even though I already have close to 250 post karma and 90 comment karma.

However, when I post about this in r/help to see if there is any help or suggestions for this, it ends up getting removed immediately by AutoMod there that thinks I was asking about changing my username on Reddit which you can't, and my post had absolutely nothing to do with needing to change my username which makes this infuriating.

This is what the post was over there and it does not have anything to do with changing my username on Reddit.

*Hi, I have recently been noticing I'm having some login issues here where it is rejecting my correct password even though I'm putting in the correct username and password.

The only way I'm getting it to work is when I request to reset my password, try to change my password to the current password which it tells me that I can't use my current password, close out of that and try to login in again which then it works.

I'm not sure if there is some sort of flag on my account that is causing me issues, even though I already have close to 250 post karma and 90 comment karma.*

 

Right now, I'm feeling concerned and wondering what is going on in regards to Sublinks here, since I have created a community for discussion on koalas about a week ago on here and have started and been doing work on it recently. But now I'm hearing about Sublinks and feeling concerned if I created it on the wrong instance or the wrong platform since I'm now just recently hearing about it. I'm just feeling worried and wondering whether or not if I should do anything or not.

Koalawalla Woods (self.newcommunities)

Hi folks! After a number of months of pondering this and having a recent incident happen a few days ago where I couldn't find another koala community, I had decided to go ahead and make a koala community on Lemmy. Since I'm already getting a lot of people checking it out, it seems Lemmy may have been in a dire need for this kind of community.

The ideas are to provide a place for people to have discussions on koalas and bring awareness of them being endangered of going extinct if nothing is done to save them from their peril, and also to discuss and find solutions to fight back against deforestation of their native wilderness.

Check it out on [email protected] or https://lemmy.world/c/koalawallawoods.

Feel free to debate me and others on the topic. I just ask you to stay constructive, I’m only trying to help here.

Thanks for reading and have a good one!

 

Moving on to actual live koalas and thinking where it should begin, I remembered about reading about the koala whisperer and pulled up that article again. The following is a little bit from that article as it is linked here.

At first glance, Izzy Bee seems like your typical 13-year-old Australian girl. She loves hanging out with her friends and is currently enjoying Year 7 of school. Once you get to know her, you soon realize she is anything but typical!

Bee is known as The Koala Whisperer. She has her own show on Netflix called “Izzy’s Koala World.” Bee’s mother Ali is a veterinarian who bought an animal clinic with her husband Tim.

Now, Izzy works with her parents on the show, rescuing koalas and releasing them back into the wild on Magnetic Island in Australia.

 

This is also koala related which I think that I will also include here since it was in my original koala post on Reddit.

Months ago, I had discovered there is a prototype for a Care Bear Cousin that is a Koala which is going on forty years old now and has never been produced or released. This is the only picture there is of it.

According to some Australians on Reddit, there have made at least three suggestions on what the koala could have been named if released, which are the following.

  • Nurture Heart Koala
  • Tranquil Heart Koala
  • Peaceful Heart Koala

If this koala was made (and this is probably where the ordinal misunderstanding probably happened due to it being worded wrong, because I was not attempting to get someone in the subreddit it had posted in to mass produce it or anything like that), named, seen in Australia (particularly in Queensland and New South Wales), and it's caring mission is to help save and protect the koala population from extinction, it was thought that she could or might make a very good talking point that could lead to helping koala populations there.

 

Since someone has stated in another topic in another community thinks that my idea about a possible story series about a koala girl fighting deforestation in the land down under is a great idea, I'm going to include it here and tell you about it.

When I came across this image of a koala statue in a subreddit on Reddit that is dressed up as Sailermoon and also has her hairdo, it had given me the idea of it being Sailor Koala and her mission is to fight against deforestation of her native woodlands in Australia and to protect her koala friends.

The idea that I was thinking here is of a story series or something to be created based from this, and would be about her adventures in fighting deforestation of her native land in Australia. I had been thinking while this story line progresses, it could bring about actual ideas and discussion about actions to take towards saving the koala population in Australia from extinction.

Also, Sailor Koala could have this theme song based from the Sailormoon theme song, which is an idea I came up with that goes something like this.

♪ Fighting deforestation evil by moonlight! Winning koala love by daylight! Never running from a real fight, she is the one named Sailor Koala! She will never turn her back on her koala friends, she is always there to defend! She is the one on whom koalas can depend... She is the one named Sailor Koala! With secret koala powers, all so new to her! She is the one named Sailor Koala! ♪

If you think this is a good idea or not, free free to let me know what you think of this there.

This is just to let you know some more about myself as I figured this should be here in order to try to limit any further misunderstandings.

Just so you know, I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome years ago and also have OCD. The reason I know that I have it is because of the amount of times I wash my hands and the times I turn around and go back to the mailbox to check to make sure I didn’t forget any mail in it and I had closed the mailbox after checking and getting the mail, and go back to make sure I put the flag up after putting something in the mailbox to be mailed off.

I recently noticed I have been getting some understandings and possible disrespectful responses to me, perhaps due to how I word things while I'm also dealing with frustration while being tired due to some situation that is keeping me up later than I wanted to be. This time, it is stemmed from an incident that happened on Reddit where a topic of mine had been deleted by a mod. Due to them not having a Modlog that is accessible by non-mods like Lemmy, I really had no idea what happened or what their reasoning behind the deletion was to avoid me becoming frustrated and not thinking clearly. On top of that, I just looked on Reddit for something of mine I felt that I needed to save and use here instead, and noticed they have been down voting a few of my other posts on there for no valid reason.

Since I wasn't able to find another koala community to switch to on Reddit and Lemmy doesn't appear to have one, and that I have a love for koalas as well as concerns I have about what is happening to them in Australia, I had decided to go ahead and create this community to provide a place for discussions about that here. It is also the reason I created Konala Koala as a character of mine and my handle here, though it started further back when I originally decided to put a koala costume on my Reddit avatar.

Below is an image I have of what Konala Koala looks like, which was created by using a clipart I had gotten and making changes to it.

 
  1. If you have any suggestions for any improvements for this koala community, you can let us know here.

  2. If you’d like to share links to koala news or information through link posts, please be mindful of the rule encouraging you to add context/opinion to the body of these posts, or to alter the title accordingly so as to spur discussion.

  3. We encourage discussion about ending deforestation in the land down under and saving koalas here.

  4. This post may be updated as needed with additional policies, and if there were discussions on their institution, links to said discussions to help provide insight into why these policies are in place.

 

Even though I have most of stuff ready for the koala community that I have in mind and found some cute koala clipart I would like to use with the banner, I'm currently having a bit of difficulty in regards to the background of the banner. The idea I have is I want it to be a eucalyptus forest or a bunch of eucalyptus leaves that I can put the cute koalas in trees over, but I have not found anything to use yet and I'm also not sure how wide and what the dimensions of it should be in pixels.

What I'm doing here, is I just want to make it feel like a nice place for koala discussions, koala news, stories about koalas, and environmental actions on stopping and ending deforestation of koala homes since they are currently listed as endangered, for starters since I have been feeling that Lemmy could use this as there doesn't seem to be any koala based community here yet, as the only one I had seen is on Reddbit, and also I believe there are those on here who may even want to see more koalas showing up in their Lemmy feed.
