1. @alanz is stepping back from the operations team due to personal life changes. Thanks for your good work, Alan! this means we have two open seats on the Ops Team, so if you are a #SocialCoop interested in helping moderate our instance, please reach out!

2. As a follow-up to the recent survey, we will soon start posting questions to the general membership 2x/month on Loomio. Keep an eye out for the first one soon!

The landlord subreddit thing is such an example of how capitalists can make almost anyone into an enraged communist by just having their behavior be visible.

I am grateful to instances that show which domains they suspend & silence.

I know they're taking a chance, but for single user instances like mine that don't have the benefit of dozens of people reporting things to them it's legitimately helpful.

Hopefully once Florence has a sensible way of sharing allowlists/blocklists life will get a little easier 🙂

The most effective, available and scalable #carbon #capture technology is reforesting our planet. There are practically no downsides to this. #Restoration could become a driver for a new kind of eco-nomic growth. Imagine a tax-funded initiative to massively deploy forestry programs. This would be a jobs programme as well. Give people housing in the newly reforested areas so they can maintain them. Combine agro-forestry and permaculture techniques to feed the local populations and restore biodiversity. Make it possible for people currently in bullshit jobs or carbon-intensive jobs to retrain to this new system. It is possible. We have the means.
