I know I don't shut up about this but frankly not enough #people are angry about the 5-day/40 hour workweek (and I am AWARE a lot of people #work even more than that). I feel like a lot more people should be absolutely furious that we only really have two days a week and some occasional hours in the evening to socialise, run errands, do chores, or relax.
It's no wonder so many people are profoundly lonely and disconnected from their #communities when maintaining a social life in what little free time we have is incredibly difficult. If you have kids, a second #job, a very long commute, or other responsibilities, it's nearly impossible.
We literally aren't meant to live like this and I'll never stop being shocked how many people just take it as the natural state of things and don't want to throw a brick through a #billionaire's window every time they think of it.
An #offset program — backed by the World Bank — that is meant to promote #conservation is actually devastating communities and the ecosystem in #Guinea, where villages have been torn apart and residents and endangered #chimps fight for the same #resources.
Since we are building new communities, it's important that those of us who want to play an active role setting up these communities, either as active users or moderators, know when people engage in them....
“#NathanSchneider has the patience and fortitude most of us lack. He’s identified a phenomenon he calls “#ImplicitFeudalism’ - the bias to build our online and real #communities as #fiefdoms, and how this has made us more tolerant of similarly autocratic CEOs and politicians. He’s even optimistic and energetic enough to see how the blockchain could be employed to distribute #governance in a more democratic fashion.”
A problem many have realized is that there are many /tech, /gaming etc. communities in different instances/servers. There is already https://fediverse.observer/ , so I think it wouldn't be too hard to make a service that periodically roams the fediverse, checks for example the last 100,000 submissions of each (or top 100 active...
You can't just distribute them across instances the way normal actors do. Whichever server hosts @technology or @technology is going to get HOSED on the regular.
"I think we can do more to synchronize the effort of different sub-communities to work together for similar goals and to let them meet each other and improve the Python ecosystem for everyone."

From my interview for the 2023 Python Software Foundation board election 🐍
I was thinking about how there are similar communities on different instances. In some cases that is desirable/ok but maybe it would be cool to have another option....
My first #opinion piece! I am proud to see it @ Harlem's own #NewYork Amsterdam #news
"The #dehumanization of the Haitian ppl & their culture is not new, despite being the only nation in the #African diaspora that has the distinct #history of successfully revolting against [transatlantic] #slavery & claiming its independence in the 19th century. The targeting of marginalized ppl & #communities of color takes form in the weaponization of #racial bias, fear, & hate...”
So community friends: what’s the difference between a community having a mid-life crisis (needing vision and clarity, but still worth keeping) and a community that needs hospice care (a beloved sendoff and closing rituals)? Are there better terms for this? How do you respectfully raise this question in the community itself?
So I seem to have found smaller Magazines / Communities that haven't been on Kbin before and after finding them they seem to have no posts but after looking through Lemmy it seems they do have posts. Does it take time for Lemmy to add all the posts or is it only new posts that will come across?
"It may seem positive that Islam is being discussed by former detractors beyond the prisms of #extremism and #terrorism, but this exchange is part of a growing trend of something more ominous that involves #ideological borrowing in both directions.
Conversely, conservative #male pundits in the West are hosting #Muslim voices on their #podcasts and #shows.
And while these #groups have historically been at loggerheads, the overlaps in their values are also clear in their opposition to #feminism and the #antisemitism that is rife in both #communities."
#BlackMastodon#BlackTwitter#Abolition#Communities#OurFutures I was watching our partial eclipse yesterday with my daughter in a local area. There's a row of food shops, cleaners, credit union and nail salons where we were sitting. The employees were getting permission to come outside and see the eclipse but of course none of them had any eye protection. We signaled for them to come over and share ours. In about 10 minutes we were surrounded by workers from four different ethnic groups. 1/5
#BlackMastodon#BlackTwitter#Abolition#Communities#OurFutures We want a world where people are free from the Prison Industrial complex (including a corrupted criminal legal system), from predatory capitalism and free to live in safe wholesome communities where our future families can thrive. Everywhere people are trying to envision what that might look like and to take steps TODAY to help make that reality come into fruition. We are envisioning a new world so that we can help build it. 5/5
#BlackMastodon#BlackTwitter#Abolition#Communities#OurFutures The series is called: A Brief History of the Future. The host of the show presents the idea that we have moved into being a society that just plans for today without thought to the consequences our actions today will have on our future families. He sets off to talk to people around the world who are trying to envision the world they want for their great grandchildren and then talking steps TODAY to help build it. 3/5
#BlackMastodon#BlackTwitter#Abolition#Communities#OurFutures You can stream the series if you are a PBS contributor or just wait for it to air in your area. He and the activists he interviews share a common thought. You have to envision the world you want and then build it. That’s what my daughter and I were doing. We envision a world where people treat each other as humans no matter what they look like or where they come from. That is the #bolitionist goal. 4/5
Thread to share some #TrailRunning#ParkRun#Communities and #Charities that constitute the actual broad ranging “culture” and “scene” (🤮hate those words) of trail running in the US for ordinary masses of humans across countless cities and 50 states beyond just 2 elite niche races in the tiny towns of Auburn California and Silverton Colorado (👀 Western States & Hardrock) that people seem to think represent trail running in the US. #JoinIn

YSK Openrss.org now provides kbin.social with RSS feeds, and will provide RSS feeds for any magazine or community indexed by the kbin.social instance (openrss.org)
EDIT: thanks to @Destragras, who pointed out after I posted that kbin does have a raw RSS feed at the bottom of the page for your reader. Example:...
Is it possible to set notifications for new post for magazines you moderate and/or are subscribed to?
Since we are building new communities, it's important that those of us who want to play an active role setting up these communities, either as active users or moderators, know when people engage in them....
Idea: Fediverse community/"subreddit" explorer

OC How do I search for magazines and/or communities now?
Seems like something on KBin changed from the day I first signed up to today. I distinctly remember at the top where it says:...
idea for discussion: federation of individual communities across instance
I was thinking about how there are similar communities on different instances. In some cases that is desirable/ok but maybe it would be cool to have another option....
Does Kbin move all the Fediverse Magazines / Community posts across?
So I seem to have found smaller Magazines / Communities that haven't been on Kbin before and after finding them they seem to have no posts but after looking through Lemmy it seems they do have posts. Does it take time for Lemmy to add all the posts or is it only new posts that will come across?
