    They are called PLU numbers and I’m assuming they’re regulated because bananas are the same code everywhere I’ve been, as with grapes. Maybe certain produce between regions or chains is different but I think most are similar.






  • If you want to immigrate into a country, you must 100% be aligned with the values of your new country.

    It’s just hard to say that when a lot of European Colonialism took place in these countries, some gaining independence within the last 100 years (referring to the middle east as alluded to in your last paragraph)

    I don’t really know where to stand and I don’t think you can be in a position that is correct given the effects of colonialism from Europe. The fact that some effects of this colonialism (especially in Africa) have destroyed some countries/cultures, when the natural population didn’t “100%” align with the colonizers makes it hard to not sympathise with these people. A lot of these immigrants are leaving their home countries (not all), due to the rippling effects of colonialism.

    I should say while I agree with your statement, I don’t know how to account for the effects of external influence that may be causing said immigration.

    Personally, there are some smaller communities that exist on Reddit that just don’t exist on Lemmy, or have inactive communities. The other option for some of those communities is Twitter, so I’d much rather just check Reddit. I also don’t expect my local towns subreddit to move to Lemmy from Reddit. I think it’s less about returning to Reddit and more so wanting to participate in small communities that exist in Reddit.



  • I’d agree that’s annoying yes, but it’s free. There comes a point where the amount of free users upgrading to premium isn’t enough, so they’re left with either changing the free service to boost that number or remove free as it likely loses them money. I’d agree that it’s shitty yea, but the free product is meant to be a preview to entice premium subscriptions. If they aren’t getting enough upgrades, something has to change (in their view)
