I understand it to be geopolitically significant. Biden, head of state for a big country. Xi, head of state for another big country. China's made it known they don't want Xi called a dictator. Biden's done it anyway.
It's the scale of the thing that matters here. It's a political statement of gravity. He's calling any bluff they've got going, and demonstrating that the USA doesn't respect China enough to use their preferred nomenclature. It's a calculated insult and a challenge.
The mods at r/nz seemed pretty reasonable.
I'm so sorry. You're a manager now.
I would really love a dialog informing me of the link destination before I get sent there. I'm used to such a thing from RiF so it was a nasty shock to see a wiki page on child molestation pop up when I tapped an innocuously titled link.
This is the instance, lemmy.nz which I think of it as concerning the kiwi perspective. Contained within is the community c/newzealand. I think of that as the Aotearoa topic within the kiwi perspective.
As such, I would consider such a post to be suitable for lemmy.nz, as it is to be discussed in our context, but not c/newzealand since it is not about Aotearoa.
I'd certainly be in favour of a c/offtopic community here.
Since [email protected] seemed to still be empty last I checked, this would be the ideal time to refocus it.
I haven't yet seen a r/marijuanaenthusiasts port in the fediverse and would welcome such!
It probably would be a problem with the servers if it's stuck on loading.
But you shouldn't need to create accounts on multiple instances: if the instances are federated, that is if they have linked, you should be able to subscribe and interact with communities on other instances just from your one account.
Depends on how you're interacting with Lemmy, I think. In firefox I click on the thumbnail. In Jerboa I have to enter the comments thread, or follow the link by tapping on the thumbnail.
You might find more knowledgeable answers in the Lemmy support community.
And further, identify it as specifically the Wellington in Aotearoa :)
That's idyllic. Nice shot!
Beautiful.
