flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Casual UK@feddit.uk•How are you all getting on with the heat today?English5·2 天前Poorly. I’m currently praying for an army of tigers.
The event was a success; there will be more like it in Ilford and around the country. Britain has become a multi-party system and there is an appetite for a party (or perhaps just candidates) that talks about peace, Palestine and poverty. The launch of Sultana’s new party has been messy and the left beyond Labour is fragmented, with some elements filtering into the Greens and some likely preferring the more decentralised independent model.
This seems unfair to Sultana, her party announcement focused a lot on inequality (two child cap, winter fuel payment, PIP). I get the left spends a lot of time talking about Gaza (justifiably, because genocide), but I don’t think that necessarily means a left election campaign will focus this much on foreign policy.
Zack Polanski’s Green party leadership bid is probably close to what a left campaign would (or at least should) look like.

Just open a text file if you want to write whatever you want without dispute, the right to say what you want isn’t the same as the right to be heard.

The Beehaw user won’t be able to see the reply though.

This seems pretty conclusive, I’m going to go ahead and defed. Thanks for all your input.
I imagine the low engagement is because everyone who uses it knows it’s a bot and treats it as read-only
I don’t think this is the case, others like !Mirror@50501.chat and @free@rss.ponder.cat get engagement, and the latter doesn’t even post memes which most lemmings engage with with little regard to community or user.
Is it actually causing any problems?
See my other comment, but nothing technical.
It’s pretty trivial to ignore/block it if you don’t want to see it. If it’s actually increasing our server bill or anything like that then it’s not worth keeping, but if it’s not causing any harm then why bother defederating?
It is easy to block, but new lemmings aren’t going to know all the platform features.
I’m not adamant about defeding though, if people are using it I’ll keep it around. There are other solutions to the issue of new users going to All, seeing a bunch of Reddit reports with no engagement and thinking the platform is dead. Like having new accounts block the bot by default.
Not much, other than the size of the post table in the DB, but that’s not the biggest tables so no need to worry. The only instance that I’d imagine to have a noticeable performance impact is lemmy.world, most of the server load is from users not federation.
Also, RWBY now available to steam on Hulu for US + Canada, and available to ‘buy’ on Apple TV in a scattering of other places, which seams quite random.
Edit: It’s annoying that this comm is misconfigured and doesn’t allow posts to be tagged English, only undefined.

Truly an impressively incompetent bunch these Reform councilors.
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukMto UK Politics@feddit.uk•Zarah Sultana quits Labour to start new party with Jeremy CorbynEnglish21·11 天前It’s amazing that to gage if Corbyn supports Sultana’s party we have to read between the lines of an interview with ITV from a few days ago instead of Corbyn just stating he’s with the initiative.
Either the reports are true, or this is a major comms failure on the yet-to-be-named party’s part. Having the initial talk of your new party being if the supposed co-founder is involved isn’t a good look. Corbyn has a lot to be rightfully mad at the media for, but this is one is on him.
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukMto UK Politics@feddit.uk•Zarah Sultana quits Labour to start new party with Jeremy CorbynEnglish42·11 天前Then there’s people, like the Canary, who are trying to spin the reports of Corbyn hostility as a media smear.
Like, either those reports are true or Corbyn went radio silent on the announcement of his new party and let there be room for this speculation. You’d think someone who’s been dealing with a hostile media for a decade would know better.
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•why won't yunohost accept my domain name?English6·11 天前They’re accepting the changes you’re making fine, you can see as such here.
Assuming my suspicion from the other thread is correct (that you’re running this in your house), you need to set up port forwarding between your router and the computer running Yunohost. Specifically ports 80 and 443.

Corbyn truly is one of a kind, and I don’t mean that in a good way.
