Fuck that would look amazing with some townhouses all around the base and all up the trunk and a couple of real estate offices in the middle

I call it Chermo or Chermobyl to give it its full name. This "chermy" reeks of either their marketing team or Victorian immigrants.

I would like one for my back yard

Frollo, but my bank my ppor mortgage is with hasn't enabled the offset accounts for open banking so it's a bit fucked

Quite keen to get out from under American "Community Standards", US defaultism and the extreme censorship that became prevalent on Reddit. I think the Fediverse taking off would be a paradigm shift in the way communities can be run, surviving any pushes to moderate to a particular agenda or set of tastes, and reduce the effectiveness of consensus manufacturing.

Worked examples could be that, fast forward 5 years, some Brisbane communities might allow casual use of swearwords like cunt and shit, or even slurs when used demonstratively (to the satisfaction of the community), whereas others wouldn't. And both would be valid choices and users could manage it by subbing and unsubbing as they see fit.

Another cultural standard around casual or non-sexual nudity - e.g. would you need to tag a streaker on a footy pitch as NSFW or require their nipples to be blurred - could be permitted to develop away from the American prudishness, again some communities allowing it and some not.

Iirc gambling ads are banned in the UK. Doesn't stop every low rent area having heaps of betting shops.

This seems like such a huge flaw in Lemmy that any of that content needs to reside on your server just because a user wants to view it. I honestly thought the user profile just kept a list of preferences and subbed communities to populate a feed on demand for the user.

I don't know what the structural fix is but, do they simply step in and say variable mortgage rates are now an unfair term in the loan contract and require a min 2 year fixed rate or something? Just workshopping this really, I can already imagine some unintended consequences

 

I'm currently userhomed on aussie.zone and reading the All feed I see activity from an instance I have absolutely no desire to see any content from on any of their communities, but I do still want to engage in discovery via the All feed - can I block out this undesirable instance at all?

Lol I actually disagree with this mildly. One big issue with Reddit was US defaultism so I think that an Aussie server just having Finance is a refreshing step away from that.

At this point I think a rent increase email is the best image to capture the zeitgeist
