We have defederated from hexbear, of course. There's no additional way to punish bad behavior in the fediverse, but rest assured, if there were an avenue to punish their bad behavior, we would take it!

lib.lgbt (obvs) and blahaj.zone come to mind.

This was a fascinating read that led me down a rabbit hole of other queer Forwards content. Thanks for sharing!

Astoundingly, it’s still defaced at this very moment.

How incompetent are they?!

I, too, wish to see Wet Gremlins.

Anything Svelte-based will be zippy and small. Super efficient and future-forward.

I’ve switched to using wefwef/voyager for everything except mod/admin duties. It’s intrinsically more bloat-prone, being a React app, but has been carefully written for performance and has a wider contributor base (due to React being far more popular than other web frameworks). Its UX, cloned from Apollo, is a consideration for many. Can voyager be self hosted, though? Should it be?

Dunno how robustly the other FEs support admin schtuff but it’s a consideration. As is, the default UI is always available to fall back on when voyager can’t handle something.

All fair points. Consider us all baited!

One fallacy of this argument is that it’s only valid as long as the value of your home increases more quickly than the cost of work put into it. Absent inflation or swelling demand for homes (I.e. population growth I.e. immigration), flipping homes risks gaining you nothing more than a higher property tax base. Maybe it works in Florida, but not everywhere.

Also: if people insist on treating their primary home as an investment, then we can take away all of these tax advantages the article crows over and we’ll find that suddenly, the deal isn’t so good.

What a grift: converting a public good (supportive housing policy) into personal gain. This attitude will be another nail in the coffin of the “American dream“ of universal home ownership.

In the US press, there was some coverage of the sier/xier body of neo pronouns for enby people. Are those the ones you mention that didn't catch on?

Haven’t quit Reddit yet, but I am only posting or commenting to Lemmy and I exhaust the feed here before browsing Reddit.

I’m not highly involved in any communities there, else I’d attempt a mass migration.
