How’re the cars? The insurance companies must be crappin themselves.

I’m so interested to see the results from this QLD election. The Katter-abortion issue i’ve really seen as analogous to the USA’s much talked about ‘October Surprise’.

I think its through Kofi?

Reported on their community page.

Cheers. I’ll have to get stuck in tomorrow night on this now, its too late, time for rest and bed :)

Hi!

Moderator from [email protected] here.

Just been playing around using the spoiler tags as makeshift drop down lists in the sidebar for the Perth/WesternAustralia community, and noticed the ‘spoiler’ markdown formatting isn’t recognised in the ‘about’ page on the Sync app. :)

Damn right it is. I’m not sure i blame anybody, seems its just a general lack of fucks given, with inspiring and notable exceptions.

A Liberal tack to the climate could be a real vote winner here, but they’ll of course lose mining money so thats no chance.

I went through lastnight and did the whole list on c/Perth/WA to experiment.

• On my browser, firefox, it worked nicely.

On apps, less so.

• Jerboa doesn’t have the labels, just the arrow icon, but otherwise seems to work.
• Sync doesn’t seem to recognise Mark Up in the sidebar/about section, so its a mess.

Be interested to hear what it looks like on other apps/browsers and what peoples general thoughts.

I want to implement something like this on c/environment but if its going to look messy for lots of people, i’ll have another think.

Oh, i see! :)

Nice one Nath. Looks good.

got them, thanks for that.

Hooli dooli, Treevans on Mastodon! Hi, good to see ya!

Okay, this is great news! I’ve just been trying to understand what code blocking is. I’m not sure I understand it, but as long as the admins are fine with it, I definitely don’t mind the thread getting a little messy (temporarily?) to sort this.

I think i’ll give that a go, see how it looks thanks!

Oh good idea. Never done that before. I’ll go on tonight and have a look

Oh wow, yeah i thought it was just momentary, but that has happened to me also.

Okay. Thats a bugger, i guess they’ll just have to be a little messy. I’ve been playing around with markup, so hopefully using that’ll help organise things better.

Also, I don’t know why the mention links for you and Nath didnt seem to work, sorry, trying to learn.

I’m dealing with a similar issue on [email protected] . I didn’t think ahead to copy those two stickied posts containing all the source links at the top of the page.

Now it seems i’ve lost them? Its a shame to lose all that useful work u/treevan and u/bandhmo did. I’ve started pulling together a number of links to recreate something similar, but i know i won’t capture the vast plethora of resources they’d gathered.

Gawd this is depressing.

The good thing is, these birds have a large cross section of the community who love them, so hopefully barriers to action for planting 2 million more banksias will be minimal.

Sounds like a joint venture for Perth Zoo, Trillion trees, and Kaarakin.

Question is, who can fund this? Minderoo maybe?

Thanks for sharing the link. I rarely jump on the melbs daily discussion so missed that completely. I don’t know what Baku was talking about, but i agree with the person who called him a shining light around here. I especially loved all his train posts.

Ah, so @[email protected] has done it, have they?

Yeah, we had a good chat a few weeks ago about some stuff, u/bandhmo wasn’t happy with some interactions that had occurred in some chats, not on Aussie Zone.

U/bandhmo did say they might come back one day, but felt they needed some rest/distance.

Its a shame, i actually found we had a lot to talk about. I’s hoping after a somewhat busy period i’m going through in my personal life, we’d be able to reconnect and push forward a few ideas we’ve had for Aussie Zone.

That chat is also where u/bandhmo asked me to become a mod for aussie-enviro. I’s happy to jump in, and i hope people are happy so far with how that whole thing is going. :)

This leads me to a concern I have, and u/bandhmo shares around the communities that i’d like to share. For some communities there are only a few people posting, to the point where it becomes more like a quasi-blog than a community.

So the question we have is, how to build a little more action in some of these communities to create a more sustainable, and fun environment?

U/bandhmo had the idea we could create a Community Leader type role in communities. I don’t know from the admin side what this might entail.

From what i understood, these people wouldn’t act as moderators, but be involved in supporting ongoing posts, in-community events, and along with the mods design the direction of the community they’re involved with.

I’d love to get peoples thoughts on this, and maybe start taking steps towards a vision like this?

To u/bandhmo if you’re reading. Have a break, but come back one day. I know i’ll miss ya! :)
