That's why I'm saying the general boycott on the 28th won't achieve anything.

Target specific products, brands, or stores and make specific demands of them.

I don't even see the code. All I see is heading, emphasis, dot-points ...

My guess is that someone is erecting turbines which interrupt the view of the landscape from his living room, and that the most logical opposition he can come up with is it's proximity to his boundary.

There's plenty of farm houses in really idyllic settings where you can't really see anything other than rolling hills with trees and pastures, and can't really hear anything other than your sheep and whatever.

Having someone plonk a turbine in the middle of that would be annoying, particularly because whoever owns that turbine and is getting the revenue from it probably plonked it somewhere they couldn't see nor hear it.

In this type of area if you want to build a piggery or hen house or some other kind of agriculture that is either noisy or smelly you do need planning approval and it is difficult to get.

Having said that, I don't have a lot of sympathy for cranky farmers. They whinge about absolutely everything, have ridiculous tax concessions, and over the last decade have made many millions in the growth of value in their properties. As in, he could plonk a couple of turbines in front of his neighbors house, and the revenue would pay for the construction of his 4th mansion in the next valley over.

How will they receive the message if you don't hit their pocketbook?

I fear the only message you're sending is that they're impervious to this type of protest.

I just don't see the point of obsidian et al.

Just use a directory structure and save markdown files in it.

There are many apps that are great editors for this structure on every platform. IDK exactly what obsidian does but many editors have zettelkasten (fancy cross links) functionality, just no fancy graph.

Ghostty + helix is the sexxy RN.

Hol up. Are notes stored in files in a directory structure or a single file? Just that you said "the file" so I'm wondering.

If so, that's lock in.

That's the whole point of markdown lmfao.

The march 7 to 14 Amazon thing is a better idea.

Anything not bought on 28 Feb will just be bought on 1 march. Retailers won't even notice.

Yeah I don't think either of them would care in the slightest about this type of polling.

Entirely predictable.

Trump was mocking the voting public on presidents day with that "Long live the king" quip.

That said, it's just bonkers that 40% of voters feel like things are going in the right direction. Honestly the whole thing is cooked.

Yeah.

Sadly I think email will be with us for the foreseeable future. It's broken, sure... but it's just so fundamental to the web.

An alternative would need to be ubiquitous, and that seems unachievable.

Congrats to the new admins!

As regards instant recall, I'm new here (but not new to lemmy and the broader fediverse) and don't feel I have much of a voice regarding how things are run. I also don't have much experience with the concepts of anarchism and the idea of instant recall is new to me, but I do have a lot of experience in governance for large organisations.

That said, I have some concerns.

Primarily, I can't see how including yourself can work in practice. Even if 70% of voters decide that your actions are contrary to the desires of the instance, you will be confident that your own actions are necessary and justified (otherwise you wouldn't have taken those actions). You've already acknowledged that you're a foul play failsafe. So I guess I'm saying, from your perspective any motion to recall your mandate is very likely to appear to be foul play.

Sadly, I'm conditioned to suggest having a robust code of conduct and a committee to refer breaches to, but I suspect that is not the way of anarchism.

Regardless, I'm very happy to support this instance and look forward to seeing where you take it.

There's a number of problems with this.

It would only work if enough communities and instances adhered rigidly to similar editorial decisions about what is "political". I don't think that's achievable.

Mods would have to do the heavy lifting in tagging/ untangling things.

It's not going to be as simple to implement as you think.

Posts are already categorised by community. You can block the vast majority of political posts by blocking a few communities and users.

At times if filtered out keywords like Musk and Trump. You don't really need to implement a feature for this. Just get posters to include a tag in the title of their post.

Looking at your other comments, you're not going to be deterred by these criticisms, so my suggestion would be to find the git repo and create an issue to get some proper feedback from other contributors.
