Hey. Formerly-active mod from the Eugene subreddit, here. I took on this lemmy community in large part because Reddit made moderation from mobile phones damn near impossible. These days, literally my only activity on Reddit is to check the mod queue for the Eugene subreddit from time to time, if I happen to be on my computer.
I know the other mods face similar hardships. All moderation activity across the board on Reddit is down, and thus all enshittification is up.
Personally, I wish the Eugene folks would migrate here. It’s weird to say this, but moderating communities here is actually easier, despite the fact that the mod tools are not as mature, because they don’t try to railroad you into using a deeply awful app to do it.
@kescusay perhaps then, a larger effort must be made to encourage people on the Eugene sub to migrate, either to Emerald Social (from where they can join) or to Lemmy
Most interesting theory I’ve heard yet is that they shot themselves in the foot by putting it on a primary election. Primary voters tend to be partisans who are fine with the 2 party farcewe have now.
No, they will either be too busy fighting whatever the current dumb culture war, or they will be melting their brains with endless consumption of AI generated media.
I never once have ever wanted my tax dollars used to pay for some asshole billionaire’s stadium. I’ve always voted against it when able to, but we know that does fuck all in this dystopia.
When they did this in Seattle, it was voted down. So, the city council got the state legislature to pass it as state law to override the vote. Then, the demolished the Kingdome, which had been the largest concrete dome stadium in the world and didn’t get paid off until 2015.
Considering that publicly funded (or royalty funded, which amounts to basically the same thing in feudal systems) sports has been a thing across all civilizations for all of history, I doubt the future people will blink an eye.
Seriously, I’d argue the solution here is to actually go even harder into it.
Club sports, build smaller scale stadiums and arenas for more localized teams and create a part-timer’s bracket for folks to get compensation while still being able to keep a day job.
Reserve the big time stadiums for big time games like regional title matches or tradition games like the subway series and home run derby.
Plus it’ll more or less instantly suck a lot of energy out of far right movements since so many of them tend to be animated by male sedentariness, at least in the modern day.
Where does Harbick claim he’s pro abortion? Harbick is endorsed by Oregon right to life and claims to support “sanctity of life” on his campaign page… he’s just another republican anti-human rights rubberstamper compared to Conrad, who’s primary policy guide is individual liberty.
