i can relate to this. i can hear the electricity coursing thru the walls. lately it’s been so loud that it keeps me up at night. no one else hears it, but i do.
i had to flip the breaker to the bedroom to quiet it down enough to sleep.

support a “right to work” instead of UBI. Work is great and it’s more than making money, you achieve self-determination through work etc etc.
this is common in most of western/northern europe, to the point that most social services for citizens or ‘integration’ support for immigrants ends at employment. the assumption being that any employment is all anyone really needs.
you’ve been fired from your last three jobs because of your worsening depressive spirals? but it didn’t stop you from getting that temp job last week! do some yoga or something smh.
you’re a migrant who doesn’t know the local language? well, it didn’t stop you from getting a job! take a night class or something smh.
you want to switch careers or further your education? but you’re already in a career; clearly your education is fine! attend a conference or something smh.
you have no friends or family and no freetime to develop your hobbies and interests? but you have a job! get drunk with your coworkers on Fridays or something smh.
workwork. okiedokie. zugzug.
but what about these posts that are like:
ah right, yeah. i updated my original snippet with the styling for hiding posts also.
It is good though that we don’t have republicans groups here, so half the problem is solved on Lemmy by default.
there are neocon and alt-right instances, but they don’t normally federate, or they’re quarantined very quickly (usually for posting CSAM… hmmm…).
some apps and frontends let you filter posts and comments.
if you’re in the browser: blocking an instance from your account settings will block postshide communities from that instance. this also has the benefit that you don’t get notified when someone from a blocked instance replies to you or sends you a message.
to hide comments and other posts in the browser on the default frontend, i use a userstyle:
/* hides posts */
.post-listing:has(* > .person-listing[href$="@lemmy.world"])
{
display: none;
}
/* hides comments and replies */
.comment-node:has(* > .person-listing[href$="@lemmy.world"]),
.comment-node:has(* > .person-listing[href$="@lemmy.world"]) + .comments
{
display: none;
}
/*
* hides post separators in feed.
*
* (a) it's more compact this way.
* (b) they get left behind when hiding posts.
*
*/
.my-3 { display: none; }
EDIT: corrections. more code. put inside a details block.
yeah.
that’s all i’ve got to say, but i have a strong urge to say it.

at which point your profit becomes linked to the degree to which you provide the functionality
except when the commodity is a basic necessity and there’s no alternatives. ‘the market’ can’t really ‘vote with their wallet’ on the cost and quality of shelter, particularly when price fixing is rampant.
sidenote: ‘voting with your wallet’ implies people with more money than you should have more say in what’s ‘more valuable’, because the rich can always outbid you, and homo economicus is only a thought experiment. (see: foreign real estate investment, conspicuous consumption…)
think disallowing votes (down or both) from non-subscribers would defeat the point of the all feed, which to me is to display the most active/interesting posts on the Fediverse right now. You can’t have that if it is only community subscribers that vote.
isn’t this what ‘scaled’ sorting is / could be for?
being trans and having auDHD with a childhood passion for natural philosophy inoculated me against heteronormative brainworms and their cousins: capitalist, workist, Protestant-work-ethic bullshit.
being mobbed, assaulted and abused because of this — by parents, siblings, peers, teachers and strangers — is what taught me to hate.
losing friends to war, suicide, and honour killings is what taught me hopelessness.
watching my parents work 90 hour weeks and still struggle to pay the bills showed me the contradictions.
being abandoned and homeless as a teenager when i started fighting back is what radicalised me.
Bakunin, Kropotkin, Goldman, Luxemburg, Beer, Stallman, Graeber, Swartz and Serafinski taught me why i’m angry, and taught me how to imagine again.
the fight against triple oppression is what keeps me going.
but the things i want to do for myself aren’t economically viable.
and, no, ‘i work because i want to eat’ (or to X, or other CBT mind tricks) don’t work either — coercion doesn’t work on me, even when i want it to.
i like this. i think for now as a workaround: one could lock the topic and leave a comment asking the OP to crosspost it elsewhere, with grace for posts which have high engagement (as ladfrombrad suggested).
i don’t agree that crossposting works to ‘move’ posts. as far as i know: the OP is not notified when their topic is crossposted by someone else, and in that case they also won’t be ‘subscribed’ to comment notifications.
