  • The issue is, social change should be driven by the locals, through civil organizations, grassroots movements, education, etc. If foreigners want to help, they can help local LGBT groups with support, know-how, expertise.

    If, instead, you just go to a foreign country, tell people there how backwards and evil their society is, and demand they change it, at best you'll be wasting your time, and if you're high-profile enough, boost local reactionary sentiment.

    The advance of LGBT rights in the west has been a long process. And other societies aren't going to just magically internalize the results of it. They still need to walk the path. But, since it's already been done once, they can hopefully do it faster.

  • But Kyiv the city also has (had before the war) about a quarter of its population being Russian-speakers, so the point stands. That said, I don't see this trend reversing while the war's still ongoing.

  • That's not what libertarians believe though. Whether they're right or not is a separate issue. The point is, they exist, and I'd expect them to also like decentralized social networks (like they like decentralized finance).

  • I guess most pro-capitalism people don't mind corporate-controlled social media, and so have stayed on reddit. I don't know why there aren't more anti-monopolistic pro-capitalism libertarians here, though...

  • I didn't know that kbin microblogs also pull Mastodon posts by hashtags! That's a really nice feature.

    BTW can Lemmy communities also have tags? None of the ones I subscribe to seem to have any...

  • “The complete inflexibility we see from the UK government today is baffling, frustrating, and ultimately destructive for everyone who wants waiting lists to go down and NHS staffing numbers to go up,” Laurenson and Trivedi added.

    Maybe the Tory government doesn't want wait lists to go down, but want to adopt the US system instead...

  • I want to be able to create my own if I want to. But also I think it's important not to make everyone recreate that same work. Do it say, they should be public by default, with the option to make a private one.
