You can't vote people into office who are younger when your only viable choices are people who are all over the age of 65.
When people get offended on behalf of others, especially when their stupidity harms the people they claim to be offended for.
Case in point, the Hogwarts Legacy situation. It made trans people look unhinged by association, even though the seemingly vast majority of them were cis progressives.
And if I as a trans person mention how I don't feel represented and don't appreciate what they are doing? Suddenly I'm a Russian troll or something. So stupid.
People really don't take the fascist threat seriously. It's like just because Trump isn't president and fascists are banned on social media, people seem to think fascism isn't growing and spreading. Out of sight out of mind.
Like it or not fascism is growing and has been at an alarming rate over the past decade. We can either ignore the problem and mock them or realize they are a serious political threat that has lots of political power already.
Gee. When both the GOP and RNC are pushing shitty candidates no one wants is it any surprise that populists like Trump and DeSantis pop up?
It's not just young voters who are upset, it's everyone who isn't over the age of 70.
This bill bans local ordinances on water breaks, but there are still federal (and likely state) laws that still require it. You can see right on OSHA's site here.
OSHA Standards require an employer to provide potable water in the workplace and permit employees to drink it. Potable water includes tap water that is safe for drinking. Employers cannot require employees to pay for water that is provided. An employer does not have to provide bottled water if potable water is available. See OSHA's sanitation standard for more information.
Why can't people report on GOP bills objectively, rather than misconstruing them as hard as possible?
And thanks to open source software, we will just remove it if they do. Politicians really don't understand how this all works do they?
Can't wait to see Spez try to pass this off as a good thing.
Tumblr is still alive, but it's a shell of what it used to be. Given the behavior of Spez, it's only a matter of time before Reddit ends up the same.
Imagine the kinds of fuckery that will happen when Reddit has shareholders.
The design of the activity pub protocol (of which lemmy, kbin, beehaw, mastodon, etc. are built) is such that there could never be a central authority that controls the entire fediverse.
Consider the world wide web, which is the biggest federated service in history. There is no central administrative body that can exist for all websites because anyone can set up their own web server and host whatever they want on it. The same is true for lemmy instances.
The beauty of this system is that people who want a more curated experience are free to use instances that ban the kinds of behaviors or views that they find problematic. Compare that to Reddit where hate subs get removed only when they become a financial liability.
Element is a great client for matrix. It functions similarly to Discord.
No way Reddit is going to be able to replace so many mods on so many subs that deal with so many millions of users. They can try, but that doesn't mean it will work.

Good. I'm a conservative Wisconsinite myself, but the state senate acts like they're royalty, continually ignoring they will of the people and saying that's what we actually want.
See: Marijuana reform. We have millions, possibly billions in taxes going to other states and state republicans claim the people aren't ready for it, even though something like 70%+ of the states population is in favor of legalization.
Meanwhile we have almost all of the top 50 counties in the US for alcoholism. But ignore that, weed crime is the real issue apparently.
We need the state congress to accurately represent the people, not this corrupt bs we have now.
