Let's decouple our ideas of innate human value from jobs, mmk?

Is there a way to #ignore or #block a #hashtag?
Thanks

@noam @support @helpers yes, you create a filter =)

@petrescatraian @noam oops, didn't notice that, but from your reply it looks like the process of filtering must be an ActivityPub feature, I think I've seen it on all Fedi apps so far...

    @robert_p_king I remember being told about a convenience store in the Australian outback which derived the vast majority of its turnover from tobacco sales, it was a shockingly large amount of money for a small business (I honestly can't remember exactly how much but it might have been in the order of $10,000 a day...) So yes even though smoking is on the way out, I believe many businesses would be at risk if they could no longer sell the most addictive substance that is legal.

    Vapes are only mildly better and may have as yet unknown complications, they are still addictive.

    But then so is sugar...

    I don't think I have a solution, other than a 😬

    @bot001

    Anyone interested in a free ticket to Randy Feltface tomorrow night? I was umming about going and last minute saw Row A tickets being resold that wouldn't split, so I just went ahead and got the pair, and none of my friends are interested in coming along it turns out and I can't resell. 7pm, Palais Theatre, St Kilda. DM to discuss =) Would be sad for it to go to waste.

    @RustyRaven @heyheyitskay agree. I'm already on the all electric train, and it is SO MUCH CHEAPER OMG.

    Plus you can feel good about being part of the future.

    @RustyRaven @just_kitten I'm fortunate to have a house that was built for alpine conditions, so the insulation is exceptional. I want double glazing too, currently making do with less than ideal plastic cover on Velcro over the windows (like properly sewn ones designed for this use) which does help a lot, even though they look a bit naff.

    kudra,
    @kudra@aus.social avatar

    @StudChud @kudra yeah but it rarely happens, usually there's a reason like insanely high demand because of extreme cold or heat..

    kudra,
    @kudra@aus.social avatar

    @Seagoon_ see above - it's unusual without unusual circumstances, which I can't see, unless there's a power station offline or something. Vaguely remember r/melbourne​ sometimes being useful for these kinds of questions as someone would know something about the industry...

    kudra,
    @kudra@aus.social avatar

    @Seagoon_ yes, but usually there's someone willing and able to supply the power at a lower than silly price except at times when there is stonkingly excessive demand. It looks like something went awry in SA, but not sure what. Sure the right wing pundits will assume something about batteries failing...

    @cordillera I am experimenting with but haven't moved, it doesn't seem to quite federate properly with Lemmy, but it is very pretty and has some excellent features!

    kudra,
    @kudra@aus.social avatar

    @testing @cordillera but it does federate ok with Mastodon (at least on aus.social) and it seems, only if following members of the community on Firefish....

    kudra,
    @kudra@aus.social avatar

    @testing @cordillera well I think we're seeing more growth in other areas... so if Lemmy gets with the program and starts using authorised fetch then I will more seriously consider moving to Firefish... all these up and coming alternatives to Mastodon are good for the Fediverse!

    @6368_39162 @CEOofmyhouse56 haha, nice to see another goth here. Though to be fair I'm not that big a fan of Uncle Andy.

    @RustyRaven @bot001 why wouldn't you need a dehumidifier? Is there a type of RCAC which doesn't dry the air? 🤔

    I definitely notice the difference if I have mine on overnight and don't use the dehumidifier, which I only do if the temperature outside is going to be extra low, but I live at 500m so that is relatively often in winter...

    kudra,
    @kudra@aus.social avatar

    @RustyRaven @bot001 Scrap this reply. I was thinking Humidifier, not DEhumidifier, my brain not work. If you are using gas currently yeah you'd need a dehumidifier with that, but beware, while not needing a dehumidifier, you may want a cool mist humidifier in your future!

    kudra,
    @kudra@aus.social avatar

    @RustyRaven yikes! That's nuts if not using gas! Yeah you'll probably be fine then.

    @useless_modern_god @StudChud I was one of those who only ever popped into r/melbourne when there was a specific local reason to. A bit like Whirlpool forums but not for tech, just for local Melbourne-specific stuff.

    I like the integration of these more general conversations about general Life Stuff here, and feel like there's a lot more that I am likely to comment on if a question is one I can answer / have some experience with.

    I like the !Melbourne vibe and because it's in my main Fediverse feed, I see content that I just wouldn't have gone to r/melbourne for.

    kudra,
    @kudra@aus.social avatar

    @useless_modern_god yup... I used to be very active on Reddit between 2017-2019, experimented briefly with Mastodon in 2018, but moved here pretty permanently when Space Karen bought Twitter last year. it's been fascinating watching the new waves each time he does a new idiotic thing, and the wave was even more exciting as it brought a different crowd and boosted the , which is really good for the Fediverse ecosystem. I'm now experimenting with but am not sold yet, though the UI is very slick.

    kudra,
    @kudra@aus.social avatar

    @useless_modern_god yup, it's such a bizarre period on social media right now.

    Firefish is based on a fork of Misskey, a popular Fediverse microblog platform in Asia, especially Japan.

    It's graphically quite pretty, and I've been told it allows Quote Boosts though I haven't worked quite how on the instance I created an account on...

    @just_kitten @Outlier1031 agree. get your leaving plan together asap, that is a shitty thing to do, I'd talk to Fair Work about it asap, that kind of action is the job of a FULL TIME manager, not a casual staff member, regardless of your role. Get something about the duties you have in writing if possible.

    @MeanElevator @bot001 GOTG3 is a pretty masterful tear-jerker, I was a bit surprised how much it got me! Can't comment on the music though.

    kudra,
    @kudra@aus.social avatar

    @MeanElevator yeah, same, we must be similar age as the writers ;)

    I have been told that part of the story was likely based on a comic called We3.

    @danwritesbooks @Thornburywitch where are you? I moved to La Trobe Valley a year ago and love it (though I still am back in the city every second week for work) and hope the local school stays open (heard rumours it might close) though once child is high school age will consider moving back for 5 years.

    @kudra@aus.social avatar

    @Goddess_Amaterasu not too bad, about 1-2 weeks. if you order a bunch of stuff they may come in several packages a few days apart. They say they give you a part refund if shipping takes longer than they estimate, mine were well within the time frame they gave.

    kudra,

    @Goddess_Amaterasu that's Temu btw, Catch was much faster less than a week
