    Can’t raise a family in Texas. Too many millennials are just now at 35+ in a fiscal position to have kids and there’s elevated chances of complications at that age. Texas just passed a law that says they’d rather you die than receive the care you might need.

      The reasons stated actually included the new laws passed as well as lack of public transit and number of tech jobs offered.

        It’d be better to have clients that can aggregate links posted across communities (so you only see 1 aggregate post per link on a given day), as well as block or mark as read based on the link.

        Blocking individual users is a manual, endless game of whackamole.

          I don’t know about endless. !technology only has about a dozen different users represented on the first page of posts. I don’t think Lemmy has the critical mass of users to flood the “block a few manually” response.

          I do like the idea of combining reposts between communities, though. Get just one discussion going! Someone posted something interesting about books the other day. I replied, but there was no other activity.

          Turned out that all the discussion was happening in the OTHER community, the one I hadn’t seen :(

          Although…different communities have different moderation standards. A combined discussion like this would be a headache for the mods.

      this one is a bot, and I think a bot could at least make a search before posting a link. but I suppose cleaning these up could be done by another bot.

    Who are all these rich people who can just suddenly up and move the minute they don’t like their state’s policies?
