Honestly for the most part we need to not have HOAs. They offer very little benefit - if any - to most folks, especially in single family homes. I refuse to buy anywhere that has an HOA.

Maybe a slight use case in apartment complexes and such with legitimately shared areas, but even there HOA dues should be exclusively for repairs and maintenance to shared areas. They should not be fining people for their garden gnomes being an inch taller than regulation or any of that bullshit they’re infamous for.

And those apartment complexes etc probably don’t have the yard space for chickens anyway so they’re not really who we’re hoping to help in this context

Shit. Who do you recommend instead?

I guess I’m saying for now it makes sense that people would at least cross post

Folks gotta post here at some point to get the ball rolling but like, I found an aquaponics sub and posted there to literally zero response. I legitimately cannot use that instead of Reddit yet; there’s nothing to use. I posted anyway to try, just don’t shame me when I cross post the question back to Reddit due to silence here, yknow?

Reddit for the most part has FAR more active niche communities. If you’re mostly looking for Lemmy versions of subs that frequently hit /all you’re probably fine; but I also looked for subs like aquaponics and ROG Ally and found pretty much crickets on Lemmy.

For now, I’m on both, because some of what I want from Lemmy doesn’t exist here yet. But I’m participating where I can in to try and help populate it so it eventually becomes viable for niches as well

I believe it. I got warned and had my comment deleted for “glorifying violence”

I was supporting Canadian boycotts of American goods.

Let that sink in - I was reprimanded for glorifying violence because I supported economic protests.

What is an economic protest if not literally the primary, go-to alternative to violent protest?

I only got warned but my comment was removed - I was supporting Canadian boycotts of American goods. Admin said I was “glorifying violence”

…I supported economic protests; that’s literally the primary non-violent option lmao

Places in video games is one option for me especially in cluster setups. EG cluster Tamriel has nodes Morrowind, Skyrim, Oblivion, etc.

I’ve seen this statement like a dozen times over the last 15 years but never before has an alternative been quite as robust as Lemmy been available. Might actually see it happen this time
