I think we’re soon going to get to that sort of critical mass that means any alternative without massive venture capital backing would have a better time just making itself activitypub/lemmy compatible, so they don’t have to start from scratch userbase wise.

Oh Jlai.lu? I didn’t know. Very cool!

[-] FundMECFSResearch 12 points 19 hours ago

Yeah. I don’t like hot, because it’s only posts from an hour or two ago. Active is generally better in that sense.

And tankies make that worse. Because they are literally a caricature of the strawman used by red scare tactics.

They have basically nothing to do with Marxism in substance. They are pretty much authoritarians who support varying forms of state capitalism, but use Leftist language.

Many trans people and disabled people on Benefits aren’t pro-trump. In fact those are some of the most leftist demographics. Yet they bear the brunt of the abuse under Trump.

Depends how hard you’re willing to try. (/s, for legal reasons)

Yup. That’s what happens when we hand over all the power to a few people.

We get excited when those priviledged people, who are literally the ones who oppress us, make choices that helps us a little.

Okay. I see what happened lol. Someone who is instance banned from my instance first posted it on this community. Then someone crossposted to another community. Since the OP was instance banned, for me the crosspost read as the OP, and then I crossposted it to the community it was originally posted in 😭.

(This is the ugly side of federation).

You are literally linking to the post I crossposted.

Do some lemmy clients not distinguish crossposts?

Edit: I’m wrong, see comments below.

A individual user airing their personal biases and manipulating lemmy isn't good for the community, regardless of how you feel about their target. This is a really bad thing (tm)

Hundreds of thousands of seriously ill and disabled people will become “invisible” and cut adrift from local support services as a result of the government’s £5bn programme of disability benefit cuts, experts have warned.

Claimants who do not qualify for personal independence payment (Pip) or incapacity benefits would lose a “marker of need” with local councils and NHS bodies, making it “nearly impossible” for them to access help, said the consultancy Policy in Practice.

This would “effectively erase some of the most vulnerable people” from the system – including those with life-limiting illnesses including cancer, multiple sclerosis and lung conditions – while making it harder for care services to deliver preventive support

More than 230,000 disabled people will lose access to Pip and the incapacity element of universal credit as a result of the changes, losing at least £8,100 a year, Policy in Practice estimates in a briefing. Nearly 600,000 more who do not claim universal credit will lose or not qualify in future for Pip.

On top of the direct financial hit, disabled people will struggle for visibility in local care systems that use disability benefit awards to deploy support and protection, from housing and council tax relief to debt enforcement safeguards.

Loss of disability benefits means they will lose priority status on council housing waiting lists and will be deprived of priority status in homelessness assessments, leaving them at “greater risk of prolonged homelessness”, the briefing says.
