Yeah I assume the reason there isn't is because the general ones are US-centric by default and then everyone else has to have somewhere specific to go. But I guess if they want their own dedicated place too why not?
National pride ✨
We're paying them to produce this pollution.
Just read reviews?
That should definitely be illegal.
I don't think they'll stop until they have the whole historic area of Israel (which includes more than just Palestine.) Crazy that this is allowed.
Bookwyrm and The Storygraph provide good alternatives!
There's an app that does this pretty well called Ground News. For a given topic it will show the coverage across the political spectrum. However, I didn't think that this community was limited to English? Either way, I guess you could start putting one together.
Old favourites sometimes help me get back in. It doesn't take as much mental effort as something new and you already know you like it.
I'm pretty sure it just doesn't suit New Zealand right now to call him a dictator, especially with a visit coming up in a week. Australia and New Zealand have to occupy a precarious position because they are European/Western in nature but obviously closest to the Asian powers. Therefore they have to try and be besties with the US whilst staying ok with China.
The community vibe is definitely a huge motivation. They want to be able to control the sort of people on their instance which they can't do if the mass user bases from lemmy.world etc. that are (relatively) neutral have access. It's a shame because they had some good communities established.
I'm guessing most of the Beehaws at least have duplicates since they cut themselves off.
