Can anyone clarify what this community is for? The only post here suggests it’s to replace the auslaw subreddit, which is mostly lawyers shit-talking about the legal profession and a lot of fun. However it’s got the same name as the auslegal subreddit, which is a train wreck of non-lawyers asking other non-lawyers legal...
I think this comes down to how we use the !australia!australia community. At the moment it seems to be flooded with news - is that a good thing or a bad thing?
We have a !news!news community for news but no-one uses it - is it time to shift the conversation of news content over there? With less news content and just discussion content we could people might be more interested in sharing their opinions or asking for advice instead of going to one of these smaller communities where they probably won’t receive much interaction.
Be careful with that language, it could be interpreted as giving them special powers or even a presence within parliament, which the amendment provides neither. The voice will purely be an advisory body which can express their opinions (“make representations”) to the parliament. It doesn’t necessarily give them any power over any other citizen, at the end of the day the parliament can simply ignore them.
It’s interesting the article doesn’t mention anything about the ethics of this, which is likely problematic. At what point do we consider a lab grown brain to be human?

Fair enough, we are still pretty small to require specialised communities. I was just a bit worried about the lack of content into the Australian politics community. So if you could cross post to both here and the politics one for future ones that would be great
“Canonical only having snap releases was harmful to adoption. I liked using lxd, but uninstalled snapd (forgetting lxd used it), and my vms obviously stopped.

A reminder to keep conversations civil and respectful. Everyone has a right to express their opinion and everyone has the right to disagree with it. The right no-one has is to bring the conversation down to name calling and humiliation
People aren’t going to listen to you if you keep raining on their parade. Perhaps you should create a post to discuss your opinion in !australianpolitics if you want people to engage with it
Clarity of this community's purpose?
