I'd say it's a different set of values but maybe that's just my cultural perspective.

Tall Poppy is more about egalitarianism and modesty, where standing out or flaunting status too much is discouraged.

Whereas crab bucket is seen as being rooted in envy, jealousy, or a fear of losing status or position.

Russia has considerable interest in Syria and likely isn't watching Israel's invasion into Southern Syria with glee.

I volunteer with Disaster Relief Australia and worked alongside the ADF in Lismore. They often didn't have the right tools for the job and we'd share our gear with them. If this is going to become the new norm they need a new approach to disaster management that is much more fit for purpose.

On the other hand, I genuinely think we'd all be better off if everyone was given two weeks paid service-leave each year to spend on a volunteer cause they're passionate about. Everybody should feel secure enough donate their skills. There's nothing more fulfilling.

Perhaps if you are able, consider volunteering? It feels a lot better than anything you can consume and helps build a routine with clear purpose that can help some people with anxiety.

Nope they genuinely think that the only reason we're having these weather events is because there's NOT ENOUGH carbon in the atmosphere.

Honestly going for the 'largest' instance is kind of ~~dumb~~ naive. Smaller, faster instances provide a much better experience. Bigger is not better in the fediverse.

The whole point is to decentralise power away from a single instance, CEO or monopoly. If you're on a small instance you can still see all the content you want from all the other instances and you might even get a meaningful say in how your experience develops.

We don't want to build another Reddit we want to build an alternative that is better structured.
