I mean, *maybe* Lemmy could be a test bed for community safety on the Fediverse.

There's a lot of tools that could be made to alleviate problems.

Sadly, with the Fediverse right now, there's not enough moderation tools for community safety.

they note increased rates of sexual violence

America's insane right wing has been on a campaign to infect everyone with covid almost since the pandemic started. This legislation, to criminalize vaccinations, is a completely "logical" extension of that policy: https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/local/capitol-watch/idaho-lawmakers-introduce-legislation-to-criminalize-those-who-administer-covid-vaccines-legislature/277-2436a514-e7da-4b31-9762-f9be10300075

I'm done with hearing how "hard it will be" to prosecute Trump because he's a former POTUS. Hard why? Because suddenly the rule of law stops working in his presence?

That's horse shit!

They only thing standing between us and prosecuting Trump (and every single Republican co-conspirator) is us - and our news media's insistence that "both sides do it".

The choice isn't between political parties! It's between democracy and authoritarianism.

That is not a hard decision.

LGBT+ equality is not a privilege, it's a fundamental human right. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

It is incumbent on us all to fight for a society where everyone is empowered to live their life authentically without the fear of discrimination and oppression.

People on social media get all bent out of shape when other people don’t do exactly what they want to fulfill their narrow agenda. Everyone can’t constantly appease everyone else. Your agenda isn’t everyone else’s agenda. There’s so much going on all at once. Maybe people are just trying to live their lives?

Z-Library alternatives (we suggest copy-pasting [no credit!] to spread widely instead of just boosting) 

#ZLibrary has been taken off the "aboveground" web, but there are several alternatives. Here's how to access them:

1. If you use the #Tor browser you can still access zlib with the link we've placed @ the end of this post.

2. #AnnasArchive searches several shadow libraries at once, including zlib, & gives multiple download links when available. https://annas-archive.org​

3. #LibGen is 1 of zlib's main sources & still works as normal. The 2 main forks: https://library.lol & https://libgen.lc​

4. #SciHub, which zlib got most of its papers from, is still up. https://sci-hub.se​

There are many smaller alternatives if you can't find what you're looking for in any of the above, just ask around...

You need a (free) account to download directly. If you don't have one, you can make one with a throwaway email address (even better, share one with someone who has one).

Zuck is following Elon and announced premium verified accounts. It's kind of ironic that both of these social networks are havens for large-scale misinformation campaigns, and now you get to pay to appear more legit. #meta #twitter #misinformation

@zleap Besides buy a member of congress?

The DeSantis administration demanded female high school athletes to provide information about their menstrual cycle. They proposed laws requiring schools to out LGBTQ students. They’re demanded colleges give medical records revealing who is trans. And they ordered books removed from school shelves

Now?

The Florida legislature wants to give DeSantis control over the high school athletics board

The same DeSantis who groomed children he drank with when he was a teacher. https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/article272528123.html#featured-carousel-1estions-about-school-athletes-menstrual-histories

Right now, the entire country of Denmark is using 4.245MW of electricity.

Windmills are producing: 3.442 MW
Solar is producing: 746 MW

So if we do the math, wind + solar = 98.7% of our energy use right now is 100% renewable

Just a reminder that not only can we fix climate change, we are fixing it.

For *years* I’ve thought that the design of the battery doors on my coin cell powered bike widgets was crappy — you either need a giant flathead screwdriver or a coin to open them.

Today I realised… YOU USE THE BATTERY!

We must prevent, at all costs, the presence of an authoritarian wannabe in the White House. There are two men in Florida who currently want that position and that power. Either would be a disaster for America.

I spend a lot of time talking about how dismayed I am at how many of my fellow #veterans have fallen for the #propaganda of the enemies of the #Constitution we swore to defend. No doubt I'll continue to whine. This guy is doing something about it.

We need more of this. Lots, lots more.

Our #oath has no expiration date.
