  • You could make the community local only, but that would very much limit its reach.

  • Though how do you ban a user who's only downvoted in a community? From what I can tell, the ban option only appears on posts and comments.

  • Once a moderator has viewed the votes, and identified a downvote spammer, what happens next? Is it possible to ban a user from a community just for downvote spamming?

  • The petition currently has 80,272 signatures.

  • When you consider the 2024 election results for Tottenham, where there was a sizeable swing away from Labour towards The Greens, it's not inconceivable that The Greens could win.

  • I've been using frp to create a reverse proxy between my NAS at home and a DigitalOcean droplet. Been using it for over a year now, and not had any issues.

  • Like the article suggests, here is hoping this splits the vote for the right.

    In an electoral battlefield littered with failed startups, Lowe’s new party is, for now, little more than a pebble in the shoe of Nigel Farage’s Reform, from which he parted ways last year after a bitter falling out.

    However, over the weekend other parties and figures to the right of Reform quickly rallied behind the new party. Advance UK, led by the former Reform deputy leader Ben Habib and backed by the far-right activist known as Tommy Robinson, said it would consider a merger.

    Such a force could cost Reform a number of seats – and potentially even power, in a wafer-thin general election result – by splitting support among those drawn to hard-right anti-immigration populism.

  • Thank you for the Reddit comparison! That's very useful information, and next time I'll post in the meta community.

  • Thank you! I've updated the post

  • All I see are white faces in that photo, yet according to Wikipedia, the constituency is not only white:

    White people made up 57% of the population at the 2021 census. Asians (mainly Pakistanis) formed the largest ethnic minority group at 27% and Black people were 9%.

  • But when runners say, “I trained in Zone 2 for a year and didn’t improve,” the issue is rarely a lack of patience or discipline. It’s usually a misunderstanding of how Zone 2 fits into the larger training picture.

    Judging by this quote, I assume the author is referring to people who just train in zone two. Though, if you know there's a zone 2, it follows that you would know that there's other zones that you should be training in too.

  • The definition of illegal according to the article:

    Police powers will specifically target “throttle-only, high-powered e-motorbikes” which they say are “fuelling anti-social, behaviour, community frustration and serious injuries.”

    The key difference police are seeking to enforce is the difference between e-bikes, a pedal-assisted bike and “illegal electric motorbikes” which have different power outputs.

    Police will soon have the power to test these bikes on the spot with new “dyno units” which can “determine whether the e-bike’s power assistance cuts out completely at 25km/h as per the current law in NSW” they said in a statement.

  • Some people, myself included, like the taste and ritual of drinking beer, but don't want to get drunk.

  • The article does say that income is a factor:

    Income also plays a role, with people living in more deprived areas tending to drink less than their more affluent neighbours.

  • The article states:

    Protesters at a rally commemorating 10 years since the death of Dunghutti man David Dungay Jr in police custody were ordered to move on by NSW Police on Sunday, with speakers telling the 200-strong crowd at Hyde Park it was more important than ever to march on Invasion Day, regardless of the restrictions.

    “The presence of attendees on that day is going to be influxed and that’s why it’s important that people revoke those laws,” said Dungay’s nephew and protest organiser, Paul Silva. “We know that we can get 20,000-plus people to have a day of mourning with First Nations people.”

  • Unless there is a future need for all this milk, or an argument for food security, couldn't the government incentivize the farmers to grow different crops, or even rewild their farmlands?

  • I've not read the book but my partner tells me the film is a very good adaption of it and it's worth seeing.
