  • I think everything laid out here is perfectly reasonable. Lemmy hasn’t made it easy and easy doesnt seem to be on the horizon for that development team.

    My personal thoughts is that I don’t think that the currrent implementation of lemmy is going to reach a point where the capabilities of the platform is going to meet the requirements of the beehaw project. Definitely not in the near term, and low probability in the scale of years.

    If the worse comes about ill probably follow along to where ever beehaw ends up and ill just set up an lemmy acc elsewhere.

    I don’t envy the situation

    // the commenter gives yet another unsolicited solution

    I think it would be interesting if yall and other like minded instance admins were to start a federation pact/ code of conduct which would layout the requirements for federation. In my opinion, fostering the kind of online community that beehaw strives to be (as I see it anyways), requires acting outside of the capabilities of the lemmy the platform. Granted, this would require a critical mass of instances willing to sign to such a pact but this may ease the workload from a moderation point of view.


  • Looks like they had to get this decision in before one of the members had to step down in a few days at the end of the month. The board isn’t allowed to pass decisions without a full board and it looks like with the composition of the current senate, the chances of any new appointee getting confirmed is slim. It would be interesting if dems could actually get their members in line to get an appointee through. The decision they did pass is wild though, if the majority of employees join a union, the company automatically has to either recognize or have the labor board run the recognition election. AND if they do any shenanigans, the union automatically gets recognized. I’m not really well versed in this so I assume “entering bargaining” means that they have to start contract negotiations. This eliminates or at least limits the ability for the company to influence the formation of unions.



  • Have you checked out hide glues yet? Hide glue is a type of adhesive made from boiling animal hides. It has a pretty long history. Titebond sells some under their brand, and Old Brown Glue is also a pretty respected brand. It’s a bit more expensive than Titebond 3, but that’s not too bad imo, especially since it’s natural and relatively easy to find. You could try using granules instead of the ready-made stuff, but it might not be worth the hassle for a one-time project. Plenty of information on usage on yt if you want to look into it, the search term has a exceptionally high percentage of old geezers which is interesting but also expected.
