Yeah, to add a different perspective, but largely agreeing.

The Americans have unnecessarily squeezed this new regime in Syria for months more than they needed to, international aid agencies that could provide some stability in the country haven’t been able to enter due to these sanctions, Rest is Politics UK spoke in better detail about this a few months back.

Biden had a smallish wondow of a chance to give this regime a go, Trump has had ample time. In this case, it seems America’s corruption may have circumvented their stubborn prejudice and evangelism.

Bad action; good result? On balance at least?

Lot of good advice here about curation, thats definitely an option to leverage your subscribed feed.

Another option, is to remove yourself from the largest server (lemmy world), look at your options on other instances, theres hundreds. The label to the right of usernames should denote what instance people are connecting from.

Some examples are blahaj, midwest.social, sopuli, feddit…

The links below have lists of a lot of the available instances,

Advantages of Choosing a Smaller Server

The experience of the ‘Local’ tab seems to be genuinely different from Lemmy World.

Lemmy World probably doesn’t look too different whether you sort by the ‘all’ tab or ‘local’ tab, so you really only have the ‘subscribe’ tab to find and hone your niche on the network.

Going for a smaller, but active in its own right, instance means you suddenly have a ‘local’ tab that is highly differentiated from the wider lemmy network, andgoing along with that its often a bit less political.

I’d use my own as an example here, but we’ve just had a major election in Australia, so its been pretty political lately, i’m expecting that to subside now that the chooks are counted.

In darkness freedom dies.

Interesting, i’d have thought housing/cost of living would’ve been on a list like that. I thought it was a fairly big issue going into the Canadian election?

So no Jewish peoples lived there before the State of Israel you reckon?.. hmm

Leaving the above aside, because its a dead end for both of us. The removal of any peoples, just like Israel is trying to do to the Palestinians now, won’t lead to a peaceful future.

Take it from a person whose a product of colonisations, invasions, and genocides. The marks aren’t erased by moving the opposing people on. History is always remembered, something Israel is going to learn the hard way.

The only options for the future are a form of historical pragmatism, or a continuing series of violent crimes against each other, with the turns of history favouring one population with more strength over the other at different times.

Colour me shocked, public transport? A thing? Gadzooks! /j

There is a weird internet cult about him, true. But the things he said were important, adding greatly to the body of thought that makes the world we live in today.

Its pretty flippant to disregard his words on the control of resources, just because he never sat behind the wheel of the 20th Century cart.

Not really a fan of allowing corporations ‘control over the means of transportation’.

I bet Marx could come up with a great explanation of why its a bad idea.

But i’m not him so i’m just gona go with Dennis Denuto’s, “its the vibe”.

it should have never been made our problem

The cleaves between the faiths have exsisted there for thousands of years. Israel is a new power, but the participatory Abrahamic religions are not. Nor are most of the peoples there. Its best to remember European Jewish weren’t the only peoples to build up Israel.

I think you’ve gone too far with your comment.

Oh nice! Over here in Perth the State Gov just had all Summer with all the Museums free. It was cool, no matter who, you just kinda walked in. They’ve recently redone the main museum ‘Boola Bardip’ its a pretty incredible place now. Didn’t see much war stuff, but i’s flying through it with a kid, so there were whole floors we missed.

Wow! The Mary Rose… you just sent me down memory lane. I hadn’t thought about that ship in decades. So i saw that ship when it was still going through that water treatment business. Blew my mind then, i’s really young at the time.

And now i realise i’ve been to Portsmouth, we were staying over in Eastbourne at the time.

The trip was full of museums and castle visits all over the south of England at least between Battle and Tintagel. So we could easily have been to the Explosion museum as well. I’ll have to dig out the old scrap books and see if somethings written in them about it.

The years ticket to all of those sounds like a great way to spend some weekends, get to enjoy the harbour as well.

What Geoff Vader runs the Death Star?

Explosion Museum of Naval Firepower

Wtf its an actual place! The name sounds so ridiculous i’s not sure if you were havin a laugh or not. :)

I don’t want a fucken culture war between the generations like what happened with baby boomers. Gen X forward are all fine by me, live your life, be conscientious of other people and where they’re at in life, and for shits sakes lets be open to changing our societies based on different generational challenges. The generational wars were always stoked by cynical conservative bread and circuses propaganda, fuck em, stop paying them attention.

Ha! The discoursive whiplash would be immense.

But i have the impression the people over at beehaw don’t wish to interact in such an open way as many other instances do.

So the decision to disengage should be treated as equally as important as those wishing to interact?

Responded to ferk, but i’s trying to consider your comment as well.

Okay, i think i’ve understood what you’re saying here. I’m not sure it works with the example for Beehaw.

I think i get what you’re saying. Especially if i consider a large instance like LW’s point of view. A large/general instance where large numbers of disparately opinioned users have gathered, freedom of association must necessarily be more individual to the user themselves than the instance as any kind of individualised entity.

Remembering the comments around the beehaw defederation, this was a case where a group of like minded people on their instance acted as a group to disassociate from the wider basket of instances. Their instance has an individual identity they wished to protect.

I feel like the discussion assumes an individual users wish for seemless interactions is more important than the wish of other users to have the choice of non-interaction. I think the assumption should be they are equally as important?

I prefer the recommendation algorithm led by my fellow up/down voters. Anything else, i know of, which is not much, runs too great a risk of undetectable pernicious influence.

I’m pretty sure that was Beehaw’s decision to disengage. But thats freedom of association for ya.

I’d imagine the jackpot would be waking up in the Dark Age of Technology.

Most soul crushing would have to be waking up as part of the Interex as they discover the Imperium.
