  • Is it because it isn’t technically a zebra crossing? Maybe accessibility problems?

    I brought this case because I believe in fairness, freedom of belief, and the proper role of public institutions. “As a Christian and a taxpayer, I should not be made to feel excluded or marginalised by political symbols in public spaces.

    Oh

    The local authority installed the blue, pink and white crossings in Bloomsbury in November 2021, at a cost of £10,464

    Oh

    This website is an accessibility concern

    The worst part is that he was grounded by the parents. When I was younger a teacher told me I was wrong for saying that Portrush was in County Antrim, not Londonderry like she told the class. My mum brought it up at the parent teacher conference.

    Same teacher also marked me wrong when asked to list loughs in Northern Ireland and Iisted Lough Beg. I was right, but it wasn’t on the list that SHE gave us.



  • At least if a community goes bad, people can shift very easily and it’s an inconvenience. I think ideally though, there should be a way to create publicly accepted combined communities. Maybe an option in a community’s setting to graft in posts from another community. Although then rule enforcement and moderation might get a little tricky. For example, just say !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk grafted in !casualuk@feddit.uk, maybe along with uk politics and other UK related subs (even local UK subs, that’d be cool!). Users on unitedkingdom may see something on casualuk and unknowingly leave comments on it which are political- and discussing politics is banned on casualuk.




  • It’s moreso how here people tend to gravitate to a single community. It is annoying if that community is on an instance which could be banning people for other reasons unrelated to that community. I didn’t say it isn’t a valid space, it’s just how instances work. For a while Blahaj had defederated feddit.uk because we handled trans topics differently to how they’d prefer. It would be annoying if, let’s say, the main and active asklemmy community was on blahaj
