1 year agoI think that’s a retarded, click-baity title for the article. Corporate greed, and energy consumption in the name of economic progress is clearly the cause of the issue.
Failure to tackle heat waves is another issue, you can cool down the outside as nearly as well as an office building.
After that, rules that have blatant disregarded for people working outside isn’t racism, it’s just not giving a fuck about others, and wanting to limit regulation in the name of cutting red tape. Lacking empathy doesn’t make you racist, it’s just being an asshole, plane and simple.
Rule number 1 reads loud an clear. Keep it Cozy, no biggitry.
I say federate, and anyone violating that rule can have their comment delete with a warning. If it persists, ban the user. If this becomes an overwhelming issue, defederate.
(I’m biased as I think defederation breaks lemmy into smaller, weaker, and more boring communities).
I think a number of people like to troll just a little at least, but I don’t think most people make it their whole persona. I suspect we may get some trolls who would genuinely like a community about books.
Maybe I’m an optimist, but I think it’s at least worth a try.
