While I can see why people might prefer it that way, we are preventing communities from growing and allowing people to find communities who might want to switch from Reddit. If you prefer the UI of one to another now you have to create a brand new community which is going to take time to fill. I use old.lemmy.world because I like the old reddit UI
It's how at least on the federal level you convince people to unite and get sweeping economic reforms. A party wide policy of "leave it to the states" and the only non economic policy being to implement proportional representation would actually help people while allowing the state level parties to have state specific social issues
I agree but it just so unlikely, I don't nessisarily think it would be a deal breaker for Maryland. I've lived in Maryland and moved to DC this year.
All professionals in DC and Maryland would get new clients and that alone would benefit enough for Maryland to let DC be independent inside its borders plus the extra congress person and ectra EC vote
It's to make unity among the working class easier. If everyone can agree in the economics then it's smarter to stay quiet on divisive social issues and leave ot to the elected members to vote how they see fit.
I prefer voice mail, If it's important enough send it, if you're not a contact and there's no caller ID I'm not picking up, I'm not screening your call I don't want you to know I saw the call.
Reddit started in 2005 and actually used bots to give the illusion of activity before it got big, it was a place for communities to have a hub and explore others when nothing like it had existed. Lemmy doesn't have that luxury people who don't like reddit for 1 reason or another will go to Lemmy if they know it exists.
oh thank you for this. That helps that specific issue.
