It depends really. If I lived somewhere where natural disasters were a common occurrence then I probably would. Luckily I live in the UK which, while not great in other ways, has a temperate climate. That said, if the south gets too much warmer then I am tempted to move to Scotland. I don’t cope well in temperatures above 19 Celsius. It would be one of several reasons though, not the overriding factor.

I love the rain and cloudiness! It’s peaceful (flash flooding aside, that can suck depending on where you live)

We have social housing in the UK which is rent capped and it gives people an element of stability. It can work well

Food and drink are incredibly political in general, this is just one aspect of it.

How would you react if someone prints Jesus Christ, hanging on the cross with bloody hands and feet onto your favourite beer. With a face of pure agony and some letters addressing charity?

That sounds quite metal tbh for beer. I would give it a go.

Yeah this is definitely a risk if this platform keeps growing. I can definitely see this being a reason to switch off downvotes (some instances have already)

Not sure if you’ve seen the various Reddit cross posting bots but the threads they post aren’t very active. I think people see that it’s a bot and switch off.

By the nature of the community though there will obviously be questions on here that have been asked on other platforms. I think it’s mainly about trying to keep this place active and let it develop its own vibe (for lack of a better word)

That was just a typo. Beehaw has advertised itself as being a largely positive, safe online space. People who sign up for it would generally be considered to want that same ethos.

It’s not ideal at the moment but until the moderation tools improve it’s the best way forward if they want to stick to their ethos. I enjoy Beehaw and the admin do seem like they want to refererate when it’s possible to.

I’m on both Beehaw and Lemmy.world so I between the two I can interact with everything I would want to see.

Yeah I would agree with this. It’s good to know for anyone new coming in but should be taken in good faith unless and until a reason crops up to change that. Not seen anything like that so far.

As a member of Beehaw I haven’t seen any reason not to trust them so far. They’ve been transparent about why it was done and they’ve spoken with other instance admins.

Think we have to be conscious that this is all still at an early stage and generally it’s wise to give people the benefit of the doubt at first. I get the cynicism but this isn’t a privatised space- people across lemmy have been constructive and open so far, so maybe give them a chance?

It’s that new colony optimism

Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart?

I mean there's Reddit ofc, as well as Twitter in its entirety, Discord is implementing some dumb updates, there are issues with Tumblr as well as everything to do with Meta, and I'm sure there are plenty more (and I haven't even touched other digital media, for example the Sims). Why is it all happening in the span of about a...

I was going to say that I wish there was a decentralised way of sending messages… And then I remembered text messaging is a thing.

Incredible how quickly these things become embedded in everyday life
