I see the context you provided in the linked thread. This is a fucked response. Maybe its a good idea to edit your comment with that context here?
From u/rcbrk,
Context: NSW government is about to try criminalising the phrase ‘globalise the intifada’, with other aus governments also considering it.

Not sure this belongs on c/Australia. If you want to crosspost it to Aussie Zone perhaps its more appropriate to crosspost to c/overseasnews.

- Comment on The Billion Dollar Balcony. ASIO's sovereignty failure - Michael West 1 week ago:
Such an important question isn’t it. What are we doing here? I feel like the importance and emphasis so much of our society is placing on superficial culture war whipping mules has blinkered them to the real and far more consequential matters the State faces.
Such as, the triple planetary crisis which is ignored at every possible opportunity, or the destabilisation inherent of a switch from a unipolar world to a multipolar world (yes we probably have the threat of China well understood, but seem not to consider the wider implications for other nation’s behaviour in that world, namely the USA’s, (until maybe this year).
- Comment on The Billion Dollar Balcony. ASIO's sovereignty failure - Michael West 1 week ago:
I’ve felt increasingly this way for a long time now about the Military and our reliance on allies with fundamentally different challenges and increasingly different world views from Australia’s.
Australia and New Zealand, and our whole oceania region need to start taking our future planning and preparation seriously as a region with a future, or we will find ourselves on the actual road to serfdom.
I’ll give props to the Albanese government who have made significant progress with pacific islands, png, and Indonesia over this last year, but this is a start to a project that needs bipartisan, and emphatic support otherwise our region will be at the mercy and whim of the large powers in this world for the next century or more.

“If fanatical evil can cause so much pain, what can fanatical goodness do?”
In the wake of the attacks, Rabbi Lewis said his cousin would have urged people to respond with kindness.
“Eli would be saying, ‘Go and do another good deed. Go and help another person. Go and care for another,’” he said.

leukaemia or melanoma
I don’t know enough about cancer, is melanoma a blood disorder? I thought it was skin cancer?
- Comment on Cancer Council's iHeard articles - responses to claims people have heard about cancer 3 weeks ago:
You know how theres those questions in life you’ve never considered, yep, this is one for me! Holy shit, cancer can be passed from mother to baby! Insane!
Q.
If a pregnant women is diagnosed with cancer, is it likely the baby will also develop cancer?"
A.
Although it is possible, it is extremely rare for a mother to pass cancer on to her baby during pregnancy. To date, there have only been around 17 suspected incidences reported, most commonly in patients with leukaemia or melanoma.
A case in Japan in 2009 was the first to be hailed as proof that it can happen. In that case, a mother was diagnosed with leukaemia soon after she gave birth, and her baby daughter was diagnosed with lymphoma when she was 11 months old. Although two different types of cancer, the cancer cells of the mother and baby carried the identical mutated cancer gene. The baby hadn’t inherited the gene, meaning the cells must have come from the mother. The baby’s cancer cells had an additional mutation making them invisible to her immune system, allowing them to cross the placental barrier and survive without being attacked.
But in the vast majority of cases where cancer is diagnosed during pregnancy, which are uncommon to begin with, cancer cells can’t pass from mother to baby. Nor can cancer cells pass from a mother to baby through breast milk. Women who have been diagnosed with cancer are advised not to become pregnant, however, because chemotherapy and radiotherapy can harm the unborn baby.
- Comment on Law Council opposes extraordinary powers for ASIO 3 weeks ago:
Shit! Well, sorry!? I didn’t mean that as a personal attack to anyone in particular, especially not on AZ/Lemmy. I was mildly praising the Law Council, a fairly staid and conservative grouping of the ‘powers that be’, likely made up of an ‘in group’ of Australian power players. So I see them as a group that wouldn’t always understand or accept the problems with an overly securitised state.

Na, its to pop a cultural crisis balloon the media was blowing up last year.
There will be some tangential benefits, i think the no alcohol before 18 is a good analogy, the only problem is there can be some benefits to social media, whereas theres not a really an upside to alcohol.
But largely its due to talk-back wankers, and the Government not wanting a distracting fake cultural crisis. Commercial media in this country suck large round ones.
Anyway, thats my view.
- Comment on National study finds where you live influences your body weight | News at Curtin 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, thats true. I know they made assessments by postcode, so that data is probably in the report somewhere, the full report is open and available at that link.
Also considering Midland is SOR, which i definitely don’t always consider, maybe the vast majority of the population would be SOR, so comparing uneven population sizes might be leading to a quirk.

I can’t believe there is a North or the River South of the river divide in BMI for Perth! Is there more fast food SOR?

The organised crime squad commander, Det Supt Peter Faux, said police and the casino worked together to detect and prevent criminal activity.
“Our detectives collaborate closely with casino security to identify and disrupt unlawful behaviour,” Faux said. “This strong cooperation is vital to maintaining the integrity of gaming operations and is reflected in outcomes like this.
You’re workin for the criminals ya bums! Let the casinos come to you with all the evidence, put your stretched resources into something more important.

have parents who don’t understand the issue, or are too busy and/or stressed out to monitor the issue, or if you have friends who provide you with access…
The other commenter isn’t making strawman arguments, they made quite clear the complex situations in which a parent may not be in a position to monitor or control their childs use.
Parents who neglect their children have their children removed
This is a strawman. It fails to imagine neglect of varied levels. It fails to acknowledge that child removal is the last resort after sustained and/or heavy neglect.
The alternative, you presented one that i see, is a government solution imposed from on high that is liable to the same ‘police state’ attacks you make about this legislation, or, will go unenforced and thus be a giant waste of time and energy because all parents, especially those time poor or ‘not in the know’, ignore the tool.

Is it effectively a competitor to Lemmy or Mastodon at it’s heart?
I think it is, to an extent, but seems more flexible in its range of potential uses. So Bonfire social definitely is, but the Bonfire Science, and Bonfire Communities add a bit more flexibility in ways to structure the communities and groups within those communities. I like the ideas driving it, one of the problems i find with Lemmy, is the inability to organise on platform beyond a reasonably casual exchange. It makes things slow, and hard to communicate through.
The boundaries thing is cool, i’d forgotten that was part of it, the circles i think makes more sense when you look at the different use cases like the science, or community projects. But yeah its just a grouping mechanism.
~topic based
This is the best use for social media. I can’t see the use case for non-public figures on a platform like say twitter.
~scale
Yeah, its a good question. The more complicated a structure, how well can something like a bonfire communities scale before groups become meaningless. Maybe its a better as literal town size, but hard to see tens of thousands in circles being an effective use case. I’ve watched this project for a few years now, and i’ve not seen much in the way of growth, so i’m not sure they would’ve come across the challenge yet.
I suppose for security in scaling the boundaries function could really come into its own, it seems more fine tuned than the heirarchy of admin/mod/user.
