I should have been more specific, I was just referring to the storm surge flooded areas.

I'm surprised there isn't more movement to just completely ban building in these areas. Getting everyone else to cover the cost of their predictable destruction seems very unfair.

I am aware that they have a state insurer in Florida. They are going to need it. I can't see a single private insurance company wanting to touch anything to do with rebuilding in areas affected by this. They know climate change is getting worse, and this is only going to happen soon again.

You circumvented their TOS, by using an alt account to evade a ban on a subreddit. That's why they banned you from Reddit itself.

Like Covid, it seems humans have to wait until disaster is right on their doorstep, before they pull themselves together to do something about it.

Is the UK contemplating tariffs on Chinese EVs?, if not that will be one of the few advantages of Brexit, as the EU has just agreed to mandate them.

Oh the ladies on "The View" already love her. She'll have no problems with them.

The View and the Real Housewives franchise are guilty TV pleasures I normally hate admitting to in public.

When might it integrate Lemmy?

Renewables are way, way cheaper. Nuclear is finished. I'm sick of hearing its supporters never ending excuses.

I think I might try that approach, you're right it could motivate a subset of people. We have a pinned post spot at the top of the sub-reddit I'm going to use again in a few days. When I used it before, I'd guess a few thousand people read the post, but it seemed to generate very few people moving to the Lemmy site.

Slightly off-topic, but how are you finding encouraging Reddit users to make the switch to Lemmy?

I mod r/futurology, which is close to 20 million subscribers, but most of the growth for futurology.today has come from within the fediverse. Any tips for encouraging Redditors to migrate?

 

I'd like to be able to quickly purge spammers & nazi-racist types. How can I see all comments by my instance's users in chronological order?
