Report it - people jumping straight to insults are trying to shut discussion down which really isn’t acceptable.

Yeah, let’s show them! … how to be decent human beings by example.
- Comment on Sick notes to be overhauled in back-to-work drive, Liz Kendall reveals 1 day ago:
The ideology around this is clear when you consider the government’s focus on getting people with long term mental health conditions into work, apparently without doing anything to improve mental health support.
This is the bit that I don’t get - help people improve their mental health and they’ll go back to work. That should be the Labour approach. Unfortunately, they are going the brutal Tory way and just cutting help to force people to do it. The underlying assumption must be that they consider a lot of the people impacted by this to be abusing the system. It all stinks.

Here is a discussion on Tumblr equivalents.

I presume because he hadn’t been charged with anything. Also one rule for the rich…

I saw a Rolls Royce Chelsea tractor (proper footballer’s wives material - probably waa) the other day that was doing the school run. Money really can’t buy taste.
We should ban them because they are bad for people and the environment but also because they are naff.

Take that Yanks! How do you like them apples? Which are a healthier snack than Percy Pig sweets.

- Comment on What features are missing from piefed, or, why aren't we reccommending piefed instead of lemmy? 3 days ago:
Can confirm. When we took over the running of feddit.uk migrating the images took forever as it was around 300GB.

To be fair to them, this was the Duke of Edinburgh’s (steering) wheelhouse and we have to cut whoever has taken over the job some slack, as he made accidenting look easier than it actually is.
- Comment on Millions of Britons brace for across-the-board bill rises in ‘awful April’ 6 days ago:
Luckily, I’m with United Utilities who will only be raising bills by 32% each year for 5 years. Which is a bargain! I think.

Free guns for all, y’all!

No, April Fools jokes are still great.

Managed to save 13% on my energy bills and lock that in for 16 months. Now to crunch down on my broadband and mobile charges.
Small beer compared to all the rises you have no control over but every little helps, I suppose.
- Comment on Millions of Britons brace for across-the-board bill rises in ‘awful April’ 6 days ago:
I’ve had two effective pay cuts and am currently in negotiations for an actual one, which is looking like it won’t happen.
- Comment on Virginia Giuffre, who accused Prince Andrew of sexual assault, says she has days to live after car crash 6 days ago:
I officially take back all the mean things I’ve said about the noble Prince Andrew and our, beyond reproach, Royal Family. And I definitely won’t be posting to !abolishthemonarchy@feddit.uk again. In fact I never have, my account was hacked.
Was that OK? Did I say enough? “You’ll let me know?” That’s hardly reassuring.

- Comment on A quarter of Britons now disabled 1 week ago:
The government also faces discontent from more than 150,000 people who will lose their carer’s allowance as a result of the person they look after no longer qualifying for personal independence payments under the reforms. Official impact assessments show this will save £500 million.
Steve Darling, the Liberal Democrat work and pensions spokesman, called it “the biggest cuts to carer’s allowance for decades”, causing some families to lose a total of £12,000 a year.
The Labour MP Rachael Maskell urged ministers to “withdraw this policy”. Carers UK, a charity, said that claimants were “shocked, worried and scared”, warning that “families will effectively lose two main strands of financial income at once”.
That’s just cruel - carers save the country a fortune.

- Comment on Does something like this exist? 1 week ago:
Perhaps Friendica because it plays nicely with following groups (Threadiverse) and profiles (most of everything else).
- Comment on Importing Facebook posts into Mastodon or Friendica? 1 week ago:
You might be able to self-host WordPress if it is just a matter of importing. As WP is federated, you can, presumably cross-post it from there.
- Comment on lemmy-like fediverse forum that lets you post things to your "profile"? 1 week ago:
You might want to spin up your own PieFed instance. There is someone using that service for a similar art project - they are grouping images into similar sets and displaying them like an image board. You can pin certain images and/or change the default sorting.

Reddit is worse, it is utterly indifferent to us. We’re just the skulls getting crushed under the treads of Skynet’s tank.

I hope people keep maintaining international trade relations, or else polititians may exploit it to push nationalism.
Oh indeed, we’re part of the larger !buyeuropean@feddit.uk movement, unfortunately, post-Brexit it will cost us more.
And we support FOSS from anywhere.
*The exception is buying goods from your close proximity, which might be environmentally beneficial
Yeah, you do want to reduce the air miles and your carbon footprint.

I can do but I thought that was for giving established communities a bit of love.
