  • I disagree, I think the techniques are not the issue, but the political-economic will to actually do it. It doesn’t matter if we discover a way to build a zero-footprint efficiently-dense accessible and affordable housing out of entirely reclaimed materials- zoning boards, HOAs, city officials, and all other sorts of shit-eating bureaucrats and busybodies are going to chain themselves to historic parking lots to prevent progress.

    To that note, repurposing a parking garage into shelter makes it easy for them to evict the housed and turn it back into a parking garage as per its original design- even potentially arguing that its original design as parking makes it unsafe for human habitation (and they very well could be right- cars and car infrastructure can be very toxic).

    Tearing down car infrastructure isn’t just symbolically obliterating car infrastructure, it has very real impacts in making it hard for the pendulum to swing back to building housing for cars and not people.










  • The developers who build lemmy aren’t able to put in CSAM blocking code. That’s not how this works.

    They absolutely can, and every forum under the sun has tools and extensions to help with this. Fucking 4chan has code specifically dedicated to deal with CSAM. You have no clue what you’re talking about.

    Oh no! Users can’t read lemmyshitpost and now the world is ending.

    Replace this with !technology@lemmy.world, or !selfhosted@lemmy.world, or !announcements@lemmy.world. “Oh no, users can’t read the entire site” yes that is the definition of the end of the site.

    You’re not seeing that this isn’t a lemmyshitpost issue, it’s an “any popular community on lemmy” issue. Snarkily taking potshots at lemmyshitpost as a community doesn’t change it.

    Turning off the community is a viable option

    It’s not “not an option”, it’s the last resort. It’s like saying that your only option to seeing a roach in your apartment is to burn the whole building down. Because doing it means you don’t have a community anymore, and without communities the site has no purpose.
