Lemmy allows a user to export their subscriptions, blocks, and saved posts /comments in a JSON file from their account settings page.

That file can then be imported into a new account on any other Lemmy (and even Piefed) instance.

If a DOCSIS 3.0 modem still can't be saturated by the tier of internet someone is paying for, what advantage would 3.1 have?

Thankfully Fedora retracted the 32 bit proposal.

Pretty sure it's just EU citizens. If you can't vote in elections there, you probably can't sign this.

Yes! They'll also be plugging it on their main channel soon.

Helping spread the word is still an option, and would be greatly appreciated! :D

Sorry to hear that they were so nasty. :(

I think it's been very hard for us to spread awareness into countries where a majority don't also speak English, as the organizer and much of the coverage is only in English.

If you know of any big Italian gaming YouTubers or streamers that might be receptive to helping or talking about the campaign, could you reach out to them about it with a comment?

Thank you for your help! :D

No worries, I'll edit it to try to make it more clear.

Just to clarify, this isn't a normal toothless petition, this is an official EU mechanism that allows citizens to bring problems to the attention of the European Commission, and force them to pass judgement on it legally. You can read more about it here.

It's good to be skeptical of anything asking for that personal info, but I'd suggest researching into it to confirm that it is indeed legit.

Thank you for signing the UK one :)

 

Thought this was an interesting and well reasoned critque of some aspects of the Dawn of Everything, particularly how Graeber's conclusions could lead one to take a misinformed wrong path toward changing modern society that may give poor results.

 

On May 1, 2025, in cities across the U.S., we will gather in solidarity—honoring the legacy of workers who organized for the 8-hour day.

Today, we face a new threat. A billionaire-backed minority is quietly reshaping our democracy—eroding workers’ and immigrants’ rights, defunding our public services, and concentrating power into the hands of the few. But across the country, people are coming together to push back… not with fear, but with hope and nonviolent action.

A peaceful People’s Movement is growing—rooted in community, powered by compassion, and determined to build a future that serves all of us. From mutual aid networks to labor unions, student groups to neighborhood coalitions, we are reclaiming power by showing up for one another.

May Day is more than a tribute to the past. It’s a call to action in the present, a reminder that when we care for each other, we all rise.

Find protests near you using this map tool: https://www.mobilize.us/mayday/map/

Or this search tool: https://actionnetwork.org/event_campaigns/may-day-strong

If there isn't one near your location, you can organize one yourself by clicking 'Host Event' at the Mobilize.us link, posting in this community or your state's 50501 Lemmy community, or by joining your local communities who partake in mutual aid and direct action (Handy guide here)


Want to take an extra step? Consider joining the IWW, a grassroots decentralized union that will gladly help you unionize your workplace, blue or white collar. By doing so, not only will you get better pay and benefits for you and your fellow workers, you'll also be bolstering our collective power for a general strike!
