  • As a Canadian, please don’t come here (unless your reproductive rights/ bodily autonomy are under direct threat)

    Sometimes I feel hopeless with our political parties and economy up here and think about moving out of country and then I remember that as a citizen I have a duty and responsibility to remain a voice of reason in my community.

    As a US citizen you are afforded real rights that citizens in other countries do not have. For example: In Canada we don’t have rights, we have freedoms. Those freedoms can be suspended by the government at any time.

    Be the change. Fix your system. Help turn your nation into the example for the global west that it always aspired to.








  • Very fair point, and all perfect examples of the value of circumstantial censorship.

    To Aether’s credit: something can’t be both ephemeral and unremovable; being ephemeral suggests that it will be removed automatically given enough time. To my understanding: the moderation policy on Aether prevents users from downloading content that moderators have hidden. It is only if a user goes out of their way to view hidden content that they risk exposure to it.

    If federation from Aether to Lemmy were technically possible, surely it would be within the capabilities of Lemmy to only pull and display data that the moderators of an Aether instance deem appropriate. It would of course be up to any Lemmy server host whether they accept the federation, and if they feel the need to blacklist any Aether communities.
