I don’t really get from the article whether its just Queensland thats the lagard, and now they’re also on the gonski reform path but will be behind everyone else, or whether the other jurisdictions had to wait for Queensland, and now gonski can be implemented in all States at the same time?

Haha, at this stage i think we’d better go for non-compupsory preferential voting.

So yeah, vote for as few as you like. ;)

Meanwhile on RN, David Marr is interviewing Omar el Akkard detailing the horrifying actions against Palestinians by the IDF, with the West’s support.

The mild description of the IDF shooting the childs car moments after speaking with them, i found grotesque.

Late Night Live - Reckoning with the West, Omar el Akkard (abclisten)

Instead we silence and punish the most meager acts of support for Palestinians.

One day we will be forced to reckon with our complicity and support of the crimes being committed. We don’t walk away from these lost innocents clean.

Ha! The discoursive whiplash would be immense.

But i have the impression the people over at beehaw don’t wish to interact in such an open way as many other instances do.

So the decision to disengage should be treated as equally as important as those wishing to interact?

Responded to ferk, but i’s trying to consider your comment as well.

Okay, i think i’ve understood what you’re saying here. I’m not sure it works with the example for Beehaw.

I think i get what you’re saying. Especially if i consider a large instance like LW’s point of view. A large/general instance where large numbers of disparately opinioned users have gathered, freedom of association must necessarily be more individual to the user themselves than the instance as any kind of individualised entity.

Remembering the comments around the beehaw defederation, this was a case where a group of like minded people on their instance acted as a group to disassociate from the wider basket of instances. Their instance has an individual identity they wished to protect.

I feel like the discussion assumes an individual users wish for seemless interactions is more important than the wish of other users to have the choice of non-interaction. I think the assumption should be they are equally as important?

I prefer the recommendation algorithm led by my fellow up/down voters. Anything else, i know of, which is not much, runs too great a risk of undetectable pernicious influence.

I’m pretty sure that was Beehaw’s decision to disengage. But thats freedom of association for ya.

Why do you call it threadiverse?

Haha, genuine giggles! I think the AEC had better trademark the colour ‘eureka red’ before partisan actors start using it to misrepresent how to votes.

I love that logo as well!

Now comes the hard part! Deciding my favs, i’m finding it genuinely hard this year, theres four songs i’ve really liked and listened to quite a bit now.

Good news about San Cisco for @[email protected]

The title could’ve been,

Whine at dessert about your wine in the desert with old mate out Kal.

Ooooh, just got in before i reported you to you for such devilish levels of misinformation.

Wow! Thats attention to detail with the nested code blocks. Didn’t even notice this.

I’ll have to save this comment and try it a few times. I’ve been slowly experimenting with Markdown, the guides are usually good, but it is time consuming, and i didn’t think it was appropriate for me to pissfart about this week experimenting, while people have votes to be casting! :)

Henry Dunant founder of the Red Cross. A good person, not a perfect person, but a good person.

Yeah i think thats fair.

The only stipulation i saw from Jlai.lu was to gather ‘members’ of the ‘Community’. So i supposr they’re meaning anybody subscribed to c/rage. My concern is c/rage isn’t the most subscribed to community on aussie.zone.

I can ask, but i’d imagine if we’ve got a fair system for capturing lots of aussie.zone users in general that’d be acceptable.

I don’t really understand what the backticks are being used for.

Other than that, this set up looks great! Far better than i could’ve thought of!

I can try to implement this idea, but i think you’ve got a good vision here i doubt i’ll recreate well. If you have the time, could you do the ballot post? I can sticky it when you post it.

So, if we’re going Australian style does that mean those users who don’t vote have to buy Lodion a coffee on Kofi as a fine? /j
