How useful of a platform is it if only selected information is allowed to be shared? From my perspective, it is only useful for Reddit admins want it to be useful for.
In your particular case, it was NOT useful for communicating very important information to your local community, unless I am misunderstanding your post here.
So by you and others continuing to use Reddit instead of committing to another platform, the suppression of information is facilitated/implicitly supported.
Why are you still using Reddit? Haven’t Reddit admins proven over and over that they are willing to manipulate content on their platform to influence their users? Haven’t they shown you that their platform is worth abandoning??
If nothing else, this experience should demonstrate that it is time to switch to Lemmy full time.
Don’t understand why anyone was still on the masts when they hit the bridge…
They had lost power and all sails were furled, so they couldn’t have been moving very fast. And according to this article the ship was taller than the maximum clearance under the bridge. So it seems like someone fucked up big time not getting crew out of harms way.
My gf told me that people are suspicious of me because I don’t use regular social media :(
IIRC the reason most caps used to be unrecyclable (many still are) is that they had a liner in them made of a different material. Because such caps were composite materials (using different types of plastic for the liner and the cap), they would make an impure product if recycled. The same problem applies if the cap and bottle are different types of plastic, which used to be more common.
