Kill grass, plant trees?

painkillers

paracetamol and ibuprofen

…Call me when they discover an opium tree.

I just thought that this was interesting. I’m not so hyped about it like the author of the article.

“Dumbphones” are not inherently superior from a privacy perspective if they connect to cell towers. Standard calls and SMS are wide open to eavesdropping.

Not specific to Disroot, but since they are based in the Netherlands, you should be aware of Nine Eyes and always use end-to-end encryption. I know someone who avoids Disroot specifically but has not stated a reason for it… He uses envs.net though.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but to me that seemed to imply that you were suggesting it as a solution that might be worth trying, not as something worth trying that might be a solution. Language is tricky.

That’s what I thought too, but I could be wrong.

Fair enough, but it would make sense to include a “this may or may not help” when suggesting something that requires setting up a new account like this would.

So are you proposing that OP marks such posts as NSFL instead? Do posts marked as NSFL get more engagement than posts marked NSFW? You could be correct, but I don’t think that it’s obvious from your comment how your suggestion solves the issue.

Respectfully, I don’t think that this answers the question.

re: politics, if you subscribe to the Platonian/Aristotelian system of philosophy, then banning all discussion of an entire branch of philosophy… doesn’t make much sense. If you think through which specific behaviours that tend to arise in political discussions would be a problem for you, or which specific topics in politics are unlikely to lead to productive discussions, then you can make rules pertaining to those things rather than banning politics entirely. Of course this depends on how much time and effort you are willing to put in as a moderator to determine whether a post about politics violates the rules. Just an idea.

EDIT: I see that you have the community up and running with some rules in the sidebar. You might consider adding a rule about citing sources for empirical claims that are not common knowledge (or something to that effect). I imagine that that would help to keep political discussions civil and productive.

Would be cool to see more activity in !simpleliving@slrpnk.net so that more people can learn about how to simplify their own lifestyles, but living such a simple lifestyle already, I’m a bit disconnected from what most people would find interesting or useful, so I haven’t been posting.

• !fruit@slrpnk.net has gotten more activity lately but still not a lot of posts or comments.
• !vegan@slrpnk.net is active (largely thanks to Sunshine) and is one of the largest communities on the instance and one of the largest vegan communities on the Fediverse.
• !plantswap@mander.xyz remains far too quiet for the number of seeds and plants in need of planting around the world.
• !cameroon@baraza.africa is predictably quiet, as I don’t think that there are many people from the region posting on the Fediverse yet, and most major news outlets don’t even publish articles about that part of the world.

A bit surprisingly, !fruit@slrpnk.net is seeing more activity than I would have imagined, and everywhere else is more quiet.

!plantswap@mander.xyz has someone offering free milkweed seeds though!

!vegan@slrpnk.net should probably be more active than it is.

!fruit@slrpnk.net has surged in activity! Now it would be cool to see more people post about what they grow.

!simpleliving@slrpnk.net and !plantswap@mander.xyz are very quiet.

!vegan@slrpnk.net could use more guides to and calls for activism, as the situation in the world is rather urgent.

!fruit@slrpnk.net is approaching an all-time high for MAU, and someone else finally made a post!

Always check terms and privacy policy before signing up, but these seem like they will be here to stay:

Those are all Lemmy and PieFed, and I’m not so familiar with Mastodon and others. Maybe look at mas.to ?
