The Lemmy apps are fine, but I've been disappointed in the quality of Lemmy posts and discussion. It's too many memes, not enough good quality thoughts, discussion, content, community. It's unfortunate. Wanted this to be the place I die.

Pros of Gardening with Raised Beds:
Improved Drainage: Raised beds typically allow for better soil drainage, which can be beneficial for plants that don't do well in waterlogged conditions.
Easier Maintenance: Raised beds can reduce the amount of bending and stooping required during gardening tasks, which can make the activity more accessible for people with mobility issues or physical discomfort.
Higher Yield: Because plants can be grown closer together in raised beds, they often result in higher yields than traditional row planting.
Pest Control: Raised beds can help deter some garden pests, like rabbits and slugs.
Soil Quality Control: With raised beds, gardeners have full control over the soil environment, making it easier to tailor to the specific needs of different plant varieties.
Aesthetic Appeal: Raised beds can add structure and aesthetic appeal to your garden, especially if you have a larger space.
Facilitates Cold Frames/Mini Greenhouses: Raised beds can easily be converted into cold frames or mini greenhouses by adding a PVC pipe and plastic covering. This allows for extended growing seasons.
Cons of Gardening with Raised Beds:
Initial Time and Expense: Building or purchasing raised beds can require a significant initial investment in terms of both time and money.
Watering Needs: Raised beds often require more frequent watering than traditional gardens because they drain so well.
Soil Temperature: Raised beds can lead to soil temperatures that are cooler in the shoulder seasons and hotter in the summer. This might be a disadvantage for certain plants that prefer a consistent soil temperature.
Potential Materials Decay: Depending on the materials used to construct the raised beds, they may decay over time and need to be replaced.
Space Limitations: Raised beds may not be suitable for larger plants or those with deep root systems due to space limitations.
Limited Mobility: Once installed, raised beds are not easy to move. Careful planning is required to ensure the right location and layout.

I tried terra nil. It needs more development. I got kinda bored after 30 mins.
Am curious how long this has been there and whether perhaps the "banging" was not related whatsoever.
Good for them. Get after it.
Okay, let's cut through the jargon and keep it plain.
First up, your point about humans surviving extreme climate change. Sure, we won't go extinct, but it's gonna get messy. Imagine more hurricanes, floods, and wildfires. Plus, food could become scarce with messed up weather patterns. You're right; it's not the end of the world. But, it's also not a picnic.
Next, you mention fossil fuels being tied to wealth and quality of life. Yeah, they've helped us a lot in the past. But it's like running your car on dirty oil; it might keep going, but it'll break down sooner. Also, let's not forget, breathing polluted air ain't great for health.
Your take about the rich trying to push the middle class into poverty to save polar bears seems off the mark. It's not just about bears and ice. It's about having a planet that's comfortable for us to live on. Plus, the worst impacts of climate change and pollution hit poor folks the hardest. It's not about making people poor; it's about keeping people alive and healthy.
Lastly, you make it sound like it's fossil fuels or poverty. That's not the case. The cost of wind and solar power has plummeted in recent years. We can switch to renewables without making everyone poor. Actually, making the switch could create a lot of jobs and even save us money in the long run. So, it's not just about hugging trees; it's about green making green.
You're asking for a multi-reddit functionality and the issue is already opened and known to the developers.
I think you got your answer. Fuck industry
