Advertising a Chevrolet as luxury is kind of ironic. Even their high trim specs were pretty bare bones.
If you really wanted luxury, get a Cadillac.
Ohhh, then the db bot replies. Thanks
Absolutely not.
All I will ask is that you go have a look at lemmygrad.ml before you vote, and ask yourself if there is anything posted there you think warrants keeping them defederated?
This is the wrong question. The correct question is, "has something materially changed at lemmygrad.ml since we defederated from them, and has it changed sufficiently to warrant refederation?"
My issue with grad was never their local content. Yes they have shitty propagandized tankie takes and deepthroat Mao and the North Korean state all the time, but I always filtered and blocked those sorts of communities, which is any user's perogative. Hell, since we can blanket instance block on a user level these days, it's even easier.
The issue was always their users picking fights outside of their instance and actively spreading dangerous misinformation in every community they can get their fingers in; then their admins doing nothing, if not actively encouraging, this sort of bad faith engagement. Grad, hex and ml would all to varying degrees end up on many news comms and try to flood them with a certain viewpoints. And if you get into their space with an opposing view point (e.g urgyhur genocide) you will be banned more often than not.
Look back in history and see why we defedded. Db0 made the call early on because he also realized they do not make any arguements in good faith and are, for any purposes, just fascists with a different kind of red flag that were directly antithetical to this lemmy's principles. They were not worth the added moderation load to manage their users when they would get into our local comms then. And I doubt they're worth it now.
I opened their site, and right off the bat I see at least three usernames I recognize as bad faith actors that I previously blocked, I can only assume their administrative structure has not changed a bit. Refederating will be a net negative for db0.
Off topic: I forgot how the governance system works, can someone link the post where it was implemented because I'm on mobile and search is really hard here. I don't know how to see my vote tallied. ~___~
It probably was an active document started as early as the 1970s and that's just a way to do it. Had to be paper they didn't have anything else. Take note cards, write (Or typewrite, or print) the info on them, paste them into a book. Remove old cards as they need to be updated. Easier to package vs a rolodex. Even into the 2000s, old habits die hard and it is easier to maintain security of a single physical copy.
I guarantee all of these threads are already being purged by /r/con mods
Tf is the point of bike lanes if they can be blocked in???
I thought Deb Fischer was just reelected in 2024? I only know that because Dan Osborn was gunning for her seat originally.
Why is she running already for 2025?
Looks like Bezos didn't front up enough money to keep his overexploited workers.
Property destruction of an individual owner's (e.g house they depend on) is violence, if it poses damage to the family that lives there.
Destruction of corporate property is not.
The funny part is the cops only ever respond to one of these types of damage. Take a guess which.
Amazing how quickly society forgot the note card pinned by the telephone with "FIRE - MEDICAL - POLICE" written on it.
Well, looks like the children's fate will also be Russian cannon fodder at this rate...
