I think safe spaces should be very visually different from discussion forums.

[-] cyanocobalamin@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

I agree with the title.

My problem with safe spaces on Reddit and to a less extent other web forums is a clear separation between them and discussion forums.

Reddit ( and other forums ) didn't have a way to visually and otherwise separate them from other discussion forums.

They looked just like every other sub where everyone was free to give their polite opinion.

That or you are enjoying a sub, a new crowd shows up, new mods show up, and you begin getting attacked along with everyone else who wasn't there for a safe space.

At least in the U.S. taxation wouldn't be needed for animal product prices to reflect their true costs.

Just remove the large government subsidies the animal product industry enjoys and let the free market raise the prices.

I doubt it would happen.

Those subsidies exist because the Nixon administration created them after Americans complained about high food prices. It would be political suicide to remove those subsidies, especially with inflation and price gouging disguised as inflation driving up food prices.

I'm new to Lemmy.

I found this group

I haven't found a way to subscribe to it while in Beehaw

Thanks for any help.

How did they even get the contact information for the jurors in the first place?

Is it legally public knowledge?

I never heard of Naomi Wu before.

All of the sudden, articles like this one are all over the place showing a woman with red hair in provocative outfits claiming to be a tech activist being silenced.

Would anyone care to give me a two line summary of who she is and what her deal is?

TNG also failed to flesh out the details of how their economy worked.

It is very easy to say "everyone is just happy and behaves well".

Can I use either of those with my BeeHaw account?

I joined BeeHaw because I don't like downvoting and content ranking.

Thanks for the URLs.

I'm using a desktop web browser.

How would I block those instances?

[-] cyanocobalamin@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

Thanks, but I am a desktop web browser user.

Jack Smith seems like he knows what he is doing, but I hope that is enough time to get Trump convicted by Super Tuesday.

Hey there,

I'm a refugee from Squabbles/Squablr.co.

I didn't care for the recent changes to the TOS nor the "free speech site" dog whistle announcement.

I really liked the lack of downvoting there, so someone suggested Beehaw.

I've been slow to give Lemmy a try. I read that the founder developer and current owner of Lemmy.ML is a "tankie" - a European communist extremist.

Is it possible with my Beehaw account to filter lemmy.ml out and is it something I want to do?

I'm not familiar with subject driven fediverse social media yet.

Happy weekend to all

I joined Squabbles in June and liked it until the "free speech site" announcement.

I loved the lack of content ranking and downvoting so someone suggested Beehaw.

It seemed to me that the developer/admin jayclees was your basic tunnel visioned coder ignorant of news/current events. I got the feeling that he isn't politically invested. He just wanted to be left alone to code, so he changed his rules taking away the justification for messaging him. Posting on the site really slowed down. It looks like he lost many of his active users and kept his lurkers. I guess he figures it is worth the price of being left alone and that he will eventually get regular active posters again.
