  • “The transgender topic” is already weird as a statement (kinda like “the gay agenda”, it comes off as only considering it as a political statement?), and “clearly promoted by the bourgeoisie” implies it’s bad.

    “As far as […] lgbt flags on government buildings”: it’s… not far at all? Again, weird statement.

    “Biological male” is both wrong for the boxer (she’s cis) and generally used for transphobia (trans women on HRT aren’t biological males by any reasonable definition). It’s also generally conspiratorial.

    Overall it’s not explicitly transphobic or bad to me, but it shows at minimum a very misinformed perspective.



  • I’m assuming this is referring to JSO.

    Beginning on 1 April, they carried out England-wide blockades of ten critical oil facilities, intending to cut off the supply of petrol to South East England.[33][34][35]

    On 26 August, the group blocked seven petrol stations in Central London and vandalised fuel pumps. Forty-three people around London were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.

    On 20 June, the protestors spray painted private jets at a private airfield at Stansted Airport. The group had been targeting a jet belonging to singer Taylor Swift, but could not locate it.[140]

    Yes, a lot of their protests are “awareness” stuff (basically none of which do actual damage. Unlike oil, actually!). No, it’s not just that. The UK isn’t an active warzone so bombing stuff is slightly more difficult to justify.









  • The point you’re missing is that it isn’t about integrating significantly different platforms like lemmy and mastodon, but rather connecting platforms that are close enough.

    Mastodon federates with misskey, firefish, iceshrimp, sharkey, (all extremely featured and very similar to mastodon), writefreely (more for blogging and writing but absolutely connects), some wordpress websites (there’s a plugin), peertube (you can follow channels to see when videos are posted), friendica and who knows how many tiny custom instances.

    This allows massive customisation of your experience.

    Anyway, interop is more of a happy side-effect of using a common federation protocol


  • It works, not seamlessly but close. Any community is considered to be an account, with any posts made to it considered to be a “tweet”. Any comments are replies to the post. A microblog account can post to a community by @ ing it, and reply to comments and posts by… replying to the post.

    From lemmy to microfedi doesn’t work as well, but you can reply to posts as normal and like by upvoting.




  • On the second point, Obsidian’s vaults are intentionally stored as a single folder that can be synced easily, including all settings. They do have a service for syncing, but with a bit of tech know-how it’s still really easy to sync. Also, all notes are stored as plaintext markdown files, which is convenient since many programs can read markdown.

    Rest is correct tho.
