Hi, a family member of mine had seen this article and wants me to share it everywhere since its, so I'm sharing it here so you can see what is going on.

Every time I hear something about pedestrian being killed by something self-driving, it begins to irk me as to why are we pushing for such and such technology.

Now that little gecko who works for GEICO will probably tell you "You can save a load of money by switching to GEICO, and its so easy a caveman can do it, but we refuse to insure that abomination you call a Tesla Cybertruck that needs to be road illegal everywhere"

Good thing I'm on LibreWolf that comes with uBlock Origin.

I think Trump wanting to "make all crimes legal for a twelve hour period" should be enough to dump, disqualify, and imprison his @$$.

I hope this is a good place for this since I'm not sure what other community would be for this, nor who I could talk to about this. Lately, I'm becoming more concerned about AI among other things and I have been looking for movements against this stuff going on. It also has me questioning whether or not it will be a good idea to create a community about this on here since I can't seem to find any community that it would fit in.

To try to keep my mind off things, I have been going into groups for Faerie and Wicca beliefs to focus my thoughts on woodland mysteries and things like that, and someone brought up something about keeping the magick alive for little ones mentioning the use of tiny letters. That got me thinking one of those letters can be saying, "Since the beginning of time, we have been the guardians and the healers of the forest. You have too long forgotten the magic powers of nature. The time has come for you to call on them again, and remember, all the magic of creation exists within one single tiny seed. Help it to grow.", and comes inside a tiny envelope containing a lot of seeds that could get a child to feel bad, concerned, and want to reconnect with the woodlands.

I feel this may lead to the child gaining an affinity for the color green, an interest in green colored dresses and brown booties, and perhaps wanting to become a child of the forest. This also got me thinking about the story that I have been writing, that is about a few kids who are feeling they are out of a place within a technological nightmare world, and are also getting a calling sensation to go into the woodlands. As they leave home and venture to the woods, they notice a number of the trees look like they are withering and dying which makes them concerned.

This soon leads them through a cave passage into a world which appears to be somewhere in the 1800s where they meet a group of kids who have a hideout above an abandoned pawnshop like place. They find out more things there, continue their venture into the woods there, and through a faerie gateway that takes them to another world that is stuck in medieval times with little to no technology to be seen. This world has an older Legend of Zelda/Lord of the Rings feel to it even though its still a work in progress.

Oh, and I also had started to plan and put together a video series that focuses on an elf girl named Lindsey who escapes out into the forest from her foster mom, and it kind of becomes similar to a scavenger hunt to locate certain things. As I try to focus on these things, something I see somewhere tends to cause me to be increasing worried about certain technologies.

Anyway, the idea behind a few of these projects is to show things that appear to be getting forgotten, and to attempt to get children weaned off of phones and tablets that are causing the outdoors and wilderness to be forgotten, and to get rid of the garbage as well as the enshittification being brought on by greed. I'm currently wondering if I should look into setting up a community for discussions on this, though I currently don't know what to call it.

Just looking at this has me feeling really concerned when it comes to the environment and nocturnal species.

I'm not sure where to post to find someone to help me or a workaround for this, but I'm having an issue on here where the display picture that I used for a couple of topics I posted in my koala community had gone 404. I have tried to ask for help in !support@lemmy.world and sent an e-mail to the admins to try to get the problem fixed, but I had not gotten any response from the admins and I'm beginning to wonder if I need to find someone who may know of a workaround for this.

I have thought about this and decided to post here since it was suggested that it could go here.

Anyway, I'm currently feeling like I need to speak to someone and might be able to help. I haven't been doing much with the koala community I create here since I have been feeling a bit down.

Even though I'm thinking about it, I'm still wondering how I would incorporate a koala comfort place into it where one could talk about concerning things that may also be worrisome things.

And I’m also currently planning on posting links to articles about koalas and petitions to help koalas and/or their habit posted to it, which the post titles will be marked in []s if they are for a petition, article, or something else. If anyone has any ideas they want to talk to me, feel free to let me know.

The one thing right now that is slowing me down is the amount of e-mails I'm currently getting, which is now over two hundred e-mails a day. This is mainly due to the amount of non-profit organizations that are sending me emails about surveys, petitions, donation requests, and actions to take among other things.

That has me now wondering if I need to create a list of them here so you can help me figure out which ones I may have to filter into the trash.

[-] KonalaKoala@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago

I think that could also have been cross-posted into !fuckcars@lemmy.world as well.

At this time, I have been feeling a bit down and is why I haven't being doing much with the koala community I had created here. But now I'm thinking about it again and had been wondering how I would incorporate a koala comfort place into it where one could talk about concerning things that may also be worrying things. I'm already planning on having links to articles about koalas and petitions to help koalas posted to it. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to let me know.

Lately, I have been getting the following popup when I share various links to democratic petitions and take actions on Tribel, and it hasn't happened to me before.

So far, it has happened with trying to post the following:

  • A link to a petition to pass Automatic Voter Registration
  • A link to telling Congress to support Healthy School Meals for all
  • A link to a petition to remove Judge Aileen Cannon from Jack Smith's classified documents case against Trump
  • A link to a petition to demand the Supreme Court denies Trump’s immunity claim
  • A donation link to Stopping Third-Party Candidates Like RFK Jr. From Handing Trump Victory
  • A link to standing with Bernie Sanders in his fight to save Social Security
  • A link to telling Congress to pass the Black Maternal Health Momnibus
  • A link to a petition to demand felony charges against Cody Roberts for Animal Cruelty
  • A link to a petition to stand with President Biden and SAVE Medicare from Mike Johnson’s GOP House Majority
  • A link to Protect Pets And Wildlife From Agonizing Death in Heavy-Duty Rat Traps
  • A link to Urge Congress to pass Community Schoolyards® legislation
  • A link to telling your U.S. House representative to support the Plastic Pellet Free Waters Act
  • A link to telling Chief Justice John Roberts that Donald Trump is NOT above the law and should be PROSECUTED
  • A link for signing a letter for #TaxDay2024 to support policies that make the wealthiest individuals and corporations pay their fair share in taxes.
  • A link to a petition to FIRE Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.
  • A link to a petition to give Social Security seniors a stimulus payment.
  • A donations link to stopping voter suppression.
  • A link to a petition for Congress to SAVE the US Postal Service from bankruptcy.
  • A link to a petition to tell Congress to close the Medicaid gap.
  • A link to a petition DEMANDING every GOP insurrectionist to be REMOVED from Congress.
  • A link to a petition to support legislation to guarantee Vote by Mail in all 50 states.
  • A link to a petition demonstrating support for Bernie Sanders’ wealth tax on billionaires.
  • A donation link to stop Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from handing the election to Trump.
  • A link to demand Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert are EXPELLED from Congress.
  • A Change.org petition link to Return a dog named Oakley to His Rightful Home in Baldivis, WA
  • A Change.org petition link to Let’s get Thabo the wild monkey to safety!
  • And now a MoveOn Political Action donations link to Don't let MAGA's harrowing archaic vision for us become reality

These links so far are from the following organizations.

  • Change.org
  • Greater Good
  • Moms Rising
  • MoveOn Political Action
  • National Democratic Training Committee
  • Progressive Turnout Project
  • Public Interest Research Group
  • Retired Americans PAC
  • Stop Republicans
  • Trust for Public Land
  • Vote.org

I have tried contacting support over there numerous times already to find out what is happening, but I haven't gotten any response from them at all about it. The only answer I had gotten so far over there is from a user stating they have gotten it on occasion when I try to post a new post and think the site might have been hacked by Conservatives, or the site owner Omar may have gotten bought out by Conservatives for this to begin happening against Democratic links to help Democrats.

Right now, I'm not sure where I could be allowed to begin posting the links that are being blocked by the popup on Tribel, since I thought and it seemed like that site was left leaning. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to let me know here.

Edit: Removed all other edit notes again and added that it is now also happening with a link to a petition DEMANDING every GOP insurrectionist to be REMOVED from Congress.

Edit: Added its also happening again with a link to a petition to support legislation to guarantee Vote by Mail in all 50 states.

Edit: Added its also happening again with a link to a petition demonstrating support for Bernie Sanders’ wealth tax on billionaires.

Edit: Added its also happening again with a donation link to stop Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from handing the election to Trump.

Edit: Added its also happening again with a link to demand Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert are EXPELLED from Congress.

Edit: Added its also happening again with a Change.org link to Return a dog named Oakley to His Rightful Home in Baldivis, WA.

Edit: Added its also happening again with a Change.org link to Let’s get Thabo to safety!

Edit: Added its also happening again with a MoveOn Political Action donations link to Don't let MAGA's harrowing archaic vision for us become reality.

Right now, I'm feeling concerned and wondering what is going on in regards to Sublinks here, since I have created a community for discussion on koalas about a week ago on here and have started and been doing work on it recently. But now I'm hearing about Sublinks and feeling concerned if I created it on the wrong instance or the wrong platform since I'm now just recently hearing about it. I'm just feeling worried and wondering whether or not if I should do anything or not.

Koalawalla Woods (lemmy.world)

Hi folks! After a number of months of pondering this and having a recent incident happen a few days ago where I couldn't find another koala community, I had decided to go ahead and make a koala community on Lemmy. Since I'm already getting a lot of people checking it out, it seems Lemmy may have been in a dire need for this kind of community.

The ideas are to provide a place for people to have discussions on koalas and bring awareness of them being endangered of going extinct if nothing is done to save them from their peril, and also to discuss and find solutions to fight back against deforestation of their native wilderness.

Check it out on !koalawallawoods@lemmy.world or https://lemmy.world/c/koalawallawoods.

Feel free to debate me and others on the topic. I just ask you to stay constructive, I’m only trying to help here.

Thanks for reading and have a good one!

Even though I have most of stuff ready for the koala community that I have in mind and found some cute koala clipart I would like to use with the banner, I'm currently having a bit of difficulty in regards to the background of the banner. The idea I have is I want it to be a eucalyptus forest or a bunch of eucalyptus leaves that I can put the cute koalas in trees over, but I have not found anything to use yet and I'm also not sure how wide and what the dimensions of it should be in pixels.

What I'm doing here, is I just want to make it feel like a nice place for koala discussions, koala news, stories about koalas, and environmental actions on stopping and ending deforestation of koala homes since they are currently listed as endangered, for starters since I have been feeling that Lemmy could use this as there doesn't seem to be any koala based community here yet, as the only one I had seen is on Reddbit, and also I believe there are those on here who may even want to see more koalas showing up in their Lemmy feed.

I have been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome and I have OCD, and I really need to find someone or another community to talk to regarding koalas as I seem to be getting insults and possible slander over a posts I had made here and on Reddit. I'm not gong to risk repeating what the post is or was about unless someone asks and wants to talk to me further about it in DM, since it had gotten removed due to them thinking it was against the community rules of where it was posted.

At the moment, I'm just again feeling frustrated and may not been that clear since I was trying to find an answer, plus I was probably tired at the time and not thinking clearly as well. If anyone wants to talk to me about this, you can let me know and I'm open for DMs as well.

Hi, I don't understand what is going on and I'm not if I'm going to have to create my own community. I had made posts which are related to koalas in communities where they are on-topic and were removed with no reason given to me. I'm now more frustrated that another one got removed from an Australian with no reason given, and I'm wondering if I either need to look for a community not on Lemmy or Reddit, or create one somewhere and try to get people to join it.

Anyway, here is an example of one of the posts of mine that got removed and I don't know what it could be in violation of.

*Greetings, I'm Konala Koala, a new koala lover who has found this little corner after continually searching for any save koalas movements that are going on and perhaps growing. I'm currently feeling sad, a bit depressed, and worried about the deforestation and destruction of eucalyptus forests that happen to be koala habitats. The only things I can think of which might help draw attention on this tragedy is I had discovered there is a prototype for a Care Bear Cousin Koala going on forty years old and has never been produced or released. According to some Australians on this in another community, is she could been named Nurture Heart Koala according to her artwork. The poor thing, if she could get made and seen in Australia, especially Queensland, she could probably make a really good talking point that could lead to nurturing the koala populations back up. Here is a link to the prototype koala cousin plush I'm referring to.

Also, I did notice someone had posted a picture of a koala statue they had seen, possible at a zoo or sanctuary near Brisbane in Australia, that is dressed as what appears to be Sailor Moon. Not only did I find that very cute, but it is something that could lead to possible ideas for a fan fiction based story series about Sailor Koala who defends and saves koalas in Australia. Taken from Sailor Moon lyrics, these could be like her lyrics. "Fighting deforestation evil by moonlight! Winning koala love by daylight! Never running from a real fight, she is the one named Sailor Koala! She will never turn her back on her koala friends, she is always there to defend! She is the one on whom koalas can depend... She is the one named Sailor Koala! With secret koala powers, all so new to her! She is the one named Sailor Koala!"

Anyway, I can see there are two rules which that prohibit selling anything and running a fundraising event, but I'm not doing neither and just talking about some ideas that may be good and don't know if they are going to need explicit moderator approval.*

HI, I had been trying to follow anti-tech discussion on a different account and had recently gotten removed from a second group. This time, they confused me of being a bot and didn't give me the chance to explain that I'm not a bot. The first time I believe its because I had accidentally linked to something leftist in error and didn't realize right away. The reason I have been trying to follow anti-tech and Neo-luddite is because it was making me feel good with all of the preserving nature talk, plus I read the Ted Kaczynski manifesto for starters and have it bookmarked on my laptop. If anyone can try to help me out or knows of another such group to check out, please let me know. I might be forced to create another group with my different account, figure out what to call it, and leave off the vetting for now to get people to join.

This is probably why it is usually a good idea to label your bottles or containers with names like salt, sugar, baking soda, flour, etc.

And I was beginning to wonder how dense the one who stated the following about Fetterman

When he said he was 100% for Israel and I saw he took AIPAC and other money from Israeli lobbies and said he was not a progressive my support ended. He lied to us. I hope to vote for a progressive opponent in his next primary.

I think it is time to de-federate threads.net, facebook.com, and everything Meta from every Lemmy and Mastodon instance in response to this.

Next, the fine will be $20,000, then $50,000, then $100,000, then $200,000, then $500,000, then $1,000,000, then $2,000,000, then $5,000.000. then $10,000,000, etc. and see how long it takes before then finally throw the book at this asshole and put him behind bars.

[-] KonalaKoala@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Next, it will be "Trump accused of sharing US nuclear submarine information with Russian president Putin"

[-] KonalaKoala@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Maybe a new community here will need to be created at some point on koalas when there is enough support for it.

And I gone ahead and used that image of my avatar from Reddit as my profile photo here and found a koala banner to use as well.
