In the linked discussion, the sub and the mod are both named - so I'm assuming I'm ok to re-post that here - it is r/tumblr and u/taytay_is_god
Please post this in as many places as you can, including /r/ModCoord, /r/RedditAlternatives and /r/Save3rdPartyApps (hate to say it, but it'll probably get more visibility there than on here). It would be great if we could find a way of getting this story into the press, too, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that.
Good article, thanks for posting. And very relevant to Lemmy, too! A pity it doesn't have some examples, especially C# examples given the community we're in, but I'll forgive it!
"To honour these peerages it was not necessary to overrule HOLAC - but simply to ask them to renew their vetting, which was a mere formality," Mr Johnson said.
Even if this were true (and the following few sentences of the article quote multiple people saying it's not, and explaining why) - is there any practical difference between Rishi "overruling" HOLAC and "asking them to renew their vetting"? Both would be equally distasteful. I'm not really sure what point Boris is trying to make here. I don't see him coming out of this looking anything other than even worse than he did going into it.
Got a verbal offer of a new job last night. Hopefully today I'll receive the contract, then I can hand my notice in!
Hopefully more and more will join the indefinite blackout.
Huffman's memo that dismissed the whole thing shows that nothing can be achieved with just a 2-day blackout.
From the point of view of the mods, there isn't really anything to lose by staying dark. It's not costing them revenue having their subs shut down. Hopefully most of them will realise that indefinite is the way to go!
Definitely! Let’s do it! The fact that a couple of people replied to me so quickly shows there are people here, we just need to start posting!
Will do.
Most of my Reddit posts are either asking questions (doesn’t help if no one is here to answer!) or answering questions (not much to do if no one asks anything).
But I have a couple of old blog posts that I’ll dig out and post here, see if we can build some traction.
Ultimately, this is down to the press, more than any individual or group of individuals.
I don’t have much faith in the press’s ability to ignore Boris, and I’m sure Boris won’t go away while the press are publishing stories about him.
What was there to watch? Genuinely curious - I would never have thought to do this because I assume that one minute there were jokes in /r/funny and the next minute it was just a message saying it was private? Or was there more to it than that. Good for you for staying up for it regardless - the world needs more people as committed to the cause as you!
I often found that on the bigger subs on Reddit. The smaller subs is where I liked to make myself heard. Lemmy, right now, looks to be a similar size to some of those subs, so hopefully it should be a great place!
PS - this is my first post here!
I think the point made in the headlines is pretty obvious. There's no benefit in being agressive when you're so much faster than everyone else.
I agree that the other point is more interesting. Especially the fact that those drivers he don't feel so comfortable going against, it's not because they're agressive, but becdause they don't (yet?) have the spacial awareness.
