5·9 hours agoSame here in Australia though, im an older, white Gen X cis guy. Boomers and Gen x have no issues with assuming I am the same sort of asshole they are; racist, super conservative, religious, anti the enviorment etc and will tell me with glee.
No, Lemmy is the software. How can software be “communist”? How does it own the means of production" ? Seems an odd question.
You can have instances that are run by folks that have a communist bent (thank goodess for that) or instances run by all sorts of folks and instances federate and talk to each other (and can be blocked) but that’s a separate thing.

Indeed and the US had lumped in nations who they would have previously called friends and fucked them as well.
Short term lots of nations will feel some.pain, longher term of China plays it’s cards right, the US continues it’s slide into irrelevance.
As an Australian i hope we pivot to Europe and build stronger relationships there but we have a long tradition of our tongue being stuck firmly up the arsehole of the US.
Surely deporting anti-vaxxers to El Salvador would be a good thing ?
Im suprosed wine enemas aren’t a recommended cure for Measles by the new and improved health department.

Austraia and the UK have similar laws to allow border police to search your electronic devices. In Australia they can clone your phone and keep a copy for as long as they want.
What’s bemusing to me is to read some local Aussie posters saying how fascist America has become, when Australia does the same and has for over a decade.

pools and waterways are parched, leaving freshwater fish stranded and dead.
Luke Price, an ecologist for the regional landscape body Landscapes Hills and Fleurieu, says “we’re definitely seeing local extinctions of small populations of fish that usually sought refuge in those pools”.
Wattles and eucalypts, particularly messmate stringybarks, have been dying throughout the Adelaide Hills, while along coastal dunes and clifftops, shrubs like coast daisy bush and coast beard-heath are suffering.
Dr Stefan Caddy-Retalic, an ecologist at the University of Adelaide, says many tree species were showing signs of deterioration and stress such as dead limbs, excessive leaf scorching or sprouting new shoots from the base due to the “ratcheting” effects of lower rainfall, higher temperatures and development that encroached on tree roots.
As the city’s climate continued to shift from warm mediterranean to semi-arid due to global heating, a lot of the introduced trees people associated with Adelaide – like jacarandas, plane trees and oaks – and some natives, such as grey box, will continue to struggle, he says, with potentially devastating consequences for the animals that rely on them for food and habitat
Indeed civilisations collapse.
Regardless, we need to, as we can’t continue as we are ignoring the laws of nature but I’d rather we did it in a managed and equitable way i.e.
Instead we seem to have defaulted to the oligarchs and us peasants as a way to organise our society and voters will enable that to continue at the next election.
Not quite sure why people choose that but here we are.
Hahah nooooo I’ll be banned from Lemmy and the police will knock on my door.
Ao some banal shit ? Pepsi is better then coke ?

I am reminded of the book The Golden Spruce, a good read.
https://bookwyrm.social/book/250594/s/the-golden-spruce
All around me millions of trees are cut down, including native forests with 500 year old trees, literally no fucks given. Every hill i can see from my window has been stripped bare and replanted with the green desert of mono forestry. The only reason they’re not gown on the plains around me is they’ve been clear felled and given over to dairy.
What a nightmare…
the tree in the article, not so much aka The Gokden Spruce.
