  • There are so many better climate change comparisons than this yet I keep hearing this stupid one repeated over and over. Ultimately it doesn’t matter than billionaires personally emite more carbon than “the average person” because even if they dropped that stat to match the average there would be absolutely no difference.

    Target the biggest carbon emitters which is businesses. Every time carbon emissions is brought up it should be in the context of making businesses emit less carbon. Make them pay for emitting carbon, give tax credits for green technology that stuff will be infinetly more effective that targeting specific people.

    I don’t care that Taylor swift took a jet to her concert its not her issue to fix. Its the responsibility of the government to solve this through strong environmental policy. Government policy changing incentives will flow down to the individual and adjust their behaviour instead of a mob trying to shame individuals into changing their behaviour.





  • Lemmy does pretty much everything I want from this medium of communication. Wishlist features would be:

    • A better way of linking posts, I see that there is an extenstion that fixes this issue but it would be nice for new users if this was built in
    • Account migrations
    • Multi Communities
    • A way to assign a #tag to a community. For example If I make c/MMA then I would want every post there to federate with the tag #MMA and every post tagged #MMA to show up in c/MMA
    • A way of scheduling posts within lemmy.
    • Maybe a little icon that shows where things are being posted from. So if I see a user with a mastodon showing up in the feed with a formatting mistake ill know why.
    • An option to follow a thread so you can be notified of all new comments even when its not your thread.
    • It would be nice for instances to have a monthly server cost that tracks donations. I couldnt find any examples except reddit but something like this sitting in the sidebar would help show users how much these stuff all costs. There could be one for instances and development cost goals.
