  • For the past decades, farmers have been pushed by the agrarian industry to keep more and more cows for beef and dairy. This has caused huge nitrogen emissions that now are wreaking havoc on our nature. Politicians have been too gummy with the industry, and too scared of their electorate, to do anything about it.

    So now they have been forced by the supreme court to drastically cut emissions before 2035. This has caused massive protests from the farmers, who have resorted to violent attacks on the government, and physically threatening politicians and their families.

    Tldr; it’s a shitshow caused by political nearsightedness and lack of leadership.


  • Meh it’s missing a lot of QoL. It would have been nice if Lemmy had ‘default subs’ just as reddit did. Perhaps there are some Lemmy instances that do this?

    I find it very hard to find subs to subscribe to (overview of existing subs is terrible), and the subs I did find are much less active than on reddit (even compared to smaller subreddits)

    Plus the app I am using (wefwef) is clunky in its design; collapsing comments is clunky, downvoting is somehow ridiculously hard to figure out, and there is no consistant ‘back’ navigation item (switching between the android back-button in the bottom, and a cancel button at the top, without any consistency or logic)

    Overall: if reddit would come back online tomorrow, I’d go back in a heartbeat. It’s like the Lemmy developers are filled with IT people and lacking in psychologists, sociologists and UX experts.
