It depends really. If I lived somewhere where natural disasters were a common occurrence then I probably would. Luckily I live in the UK which, while not great in other ways, has a temperate climate. That said, if the south gets too much warmer then I am tempted to move to Scotland. I don't cope well in temperatures above 19 Celsius. It would be one of several reasons though, not the overriding factor.

As far as I'm concerned I'm not a grown up until I have a washing machine and dishwasher of my own.

This is why I'm flying to Edinburgh soon rather than taking the train (like I would prefer to). So much cheaper

That seems so unnecessary. Why do they want to interfere with screen density??

I'll be honest, I think I understood three words of your OP. Sounds like the general gist though is Woo so great 😃

Thanks for all your efforts, glad someone knows what they're doing

Yeah this is definitely a risk if this platform keeps growing. I can definitely see this being a reason to switch off downvotes (some instances have already)

I agree, this needs to be a data driven decision rather than something driven by the optics. Sadly some people don't stop to look at the data before becoming outraged

Not sure if you've seen the various Reddit cross posting bots but the threads they post aren't very active. I think people see that it's a bot and switch off.

By the nature of the community though there will obviously be questions on here that have been asked on other platforms. I think it's mainly about trying to keep this place active and let it develop its own vibe (for lack of a better word)

Just to say that I didn't edit anything to sensationalise it, the headline is the title.

Meta will not launch its new Twitter rival, Threads, in Ireland or the EU for the foreseeable future. It is being released in the US and the UK on Thursday of this week as an alternative to Twitter.

As a member of Beehaw I haven't seen any reason not to trust them so far. They've been transparent about why it was done and they've spoken with other instance admins.

Think we have to be conscious that this is all still at an early stage and generally it's wise to give people the benefit of the doubt at first. I get the cynicism but this isn't a privatised space- people across lemmy have been constructive and open so far, so maybe give them a chance?

[-] wildeaboutoskar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah I would agree with this. It's good to know for anyone new coming in but should be taken in good faith unless and until a reason crops up to change that. Not seen anything like that so far.

[-] wildeaboutoskar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That was just a typo. Beehaw has advertised itself as being a largely positive, safe online space. People who sign up for it would generally be considered to want that same ethos.

It's not ideal at the moment but until the moderation tools improve it's the best way forward if they want to stick to their ethos. I enjoy Beehaw and the admin do seem like they want to refererate when it's possible to.

I'm on both Beehaw and Lemmy.world so I between the two I can interact with everything I would want to see.

In the UK we're currently experiencing the hell that is summer (I can't cope in temperatures above 20C, mock if you wish) so wanting to get more into cold brew.

Anyone got any recommendations on the best piece of kit to do it?

TV’s streaming model is broken. It’s also not going away. For Hollywood, figuring that out will be a horror show.
