Thanks for that - much appreciated. Sorry I failed to respond earlier, I’m still getting used to the fediverse, and seem to have managed to get multiple accounts so… yeah

What’s MARS? I couldn’t find any reference that seemed to match due to… well, the ambiguitiy of the name :D

Care to explain what’s anti-trans about this? Genuine question, I’m obviously out of the loop, and don’t want to inadvertently cross a line.

Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire
Maquiladora
NAFTA
No great single resources for Nike / Child Slavery but… just search for it there are too many to link
I really shouldn’t have to link to the environment, right?

That’s fair enough. I didn’t read it as “initiating a discussion”, more “get off my lawn”. That may, however, be me - I’m coming off my meds and it’s making me grumpy.

I appreciate your point, however - if you wish for this series of communities to succeed, it needs to be welcoming to newcomers. And one of the ways of doing that is allowing for a continuation of conversations that were on the source communities - including, “Oh, we’re getting out”, “Why it’s so bad”, “Where do we go to”, “How do we make the new community look/feel like I’m used to”, etc. etc.

I’m happy to see this because it means that a corrupt and non-people-focussed environment is losing members. Like anything, it will pass, but please don’t push people away by making them feel unwelcome.

And the kbin.social formatting:

Accessing through kbin.social and the table format is not formatted correctly. Assume this is a kbin-problem, not a bot-problem, as looking at it through sh.itjust.works formats correctly…

I wanna see it, so here’s another comment to boost - let’s get to 5 and test this bot :P
