Finally! I would use GOG a lot more with an official linux client.

You are always paying for search. This is just directly and transparent.

Quick work! I was just trying to round up some interest from my fellow Canberrans ๐Ÿ˜…

Let me find something worthy of an inagural post

Thanks for the tips!

I know what you mean and it will of course be an uphill battle but I want to believe in Lemmy and cut one of my last ties to centralised social media.

Yeah it is a verrry active subreddit! Between the federal and state public services there are a lot of employees.

The AusUnion one is also a good community. The Members United caucus contesting the public service union (CPSU) election is doing an AMA there next week.

I guess the flip side is that there is no community for it anywhere on the fediverse at the moment and most people aren't going to take the initiative to create one. So you kinda don't know until we try.

If you aren't in the public service you might not realise how big the subreddit is and the potential for a Lemmy community. I'm happy to take the L and fold it if it doesn't take off.

And yeah happy to moderate. I am an active union delegate in the APS and I think healthy and productive discussion of the APS is one of the best ways to ensure it remains accountable and employee conditions are preserved.

I'm happy to cover funds through some kind of https://buymeacoffee.com/ like subscription.

Also happy to help with administration if you don't find any takers but I am also generally quite busy with various community groups so I don't have the most amount of free time to devote to it.

I'm trying to migrate off of Reddit completely but there are a few communities that still don't exist in the fediverse. Communities for the APS and Australian Unions being a couple of them.

I am replying on Lemmy =p

Unfortunately some communities haven't moved off of Reddit yet so I straddle still.

Oh wow, a collapsible friends list?????

I'm uninstalling Steam as we speak now the feature we have all been waiting for is in Epic.

Reddit have also announced their plan to go logged in only.

Combine the requirement to register to see anything with the age verification and you have a lot of people who will never visit your site again.

They are going to see a massive dropoff in readership from Australia. Luckily my accounts haven't required verification so far but if they did I guess I'll never visit reddit again.

Thanks! I hadn't heard of this book and it seems like something I should check out.

For everyone else the author has released it free (but you can also buy physical if you want) https://labourdialectics.org/
