The ideas of „you can only own a building you live in“ and „companies can’t own residential buildings“ keep popping up in my head. Any reason that can’t be the solution?

Someone once told me „you can agree with the observation but disagree with the conclusions drawn from them“.

I can’t argue with that. There needs to be immediate change on all fronts.

This means that I wont suck on a paper straw while mr CEO flies in his private jet. Dead easy.

So far, there have mostly been changes that target the lives of people who already have a small CO2 footprint. I don’t even own a car for example.

The mere existence of private jets is an atrocity while the „lesser“ of us need to invest time and effort to change their ways.

Obviously, there are those of us who like to leave their v8 running while in the grocery store and they absolutely need to stop. No emptying the ashtray on the street or going to starbucks every day and get a one use cup every time. But still, I‘m done listening to people telling me I‘m not doing enough.

We all have these people in our jobs, don’t we? I‘m practicing to engage them with a therapist rn. Have been through abuse when I was young and they love to dump on me. My new goal is to pin a notice on my wall that I get for telling the next bully where to stick it (in public). Lets see how that goes.

I fully agree that if mods become a problem, there are ways to handle it.

But I strongly disagree that its reddits biggest problem. Most of the moderators there are trying their best to be fair and conductive.

You wouldn’t believe the amount of shit they have to deal with on a daily basis ans the bigotry they’re confronted with.

Anyway, I think there need to be mods here as well and they will make unpopular decisions. Try becoming one yourself and leading by example.

Thank you for this. It means a lot that some people understand. :)

You‘re absolutely correct imo! But the reason for white supremacists (i.e.) being able to seize power is users being unwilling or unable to stand up for themselves or others.

On reddit (same as here I assume) users can demand mods being removed from subs and new ones instated instead.

The ultimate escalation is making a counter sub with a close enough name and just doing better. That and informing, posting about the issues will massively improve the situation.

It is the fundamental problem with democracy. It is fragile as people need to actively keep it alive since power hungry people will always abuse and undermine it.

Organizing, sharing and keeping your own ego in check in the process is very hard but the ultimate democratic task imo.

Because it is easy to think of all our own ideas to be best but they rarely are. We should concentrate on those we know are better and find others to help with theirs.

TL;DR: Evil powers rely ok the indifference/lethargy of the masses. Work towards positive change

Hi there! I pretty much have the same question. Probably also a question for the selfhosted sub if it already arrived here.

I‘m thinking of hosting a lemmy instance, peertube and a minecraft server, the latter of which are very resource intensive and I‘m told I should look for „dedicated“ vcpus. Which drives the cost up considerably.

Looking at hetzner rn but 3 vpus (1 for minecraft, 1 for peertube, 1 for everything else) is quite steep imo.

Are you considering the dedicated part yet?

Good luck :)
