J. Kenji López-Alt is fantastic. Professional chef who shows a lot of the how and why in his videos. How to do something in the recipe, and why it's done. Professional chef with a bunch of other paid resources if you end up liking his style
For short haul flights where a train is preferable, or private iets, absolutely. However airplanes are still the most efficient way to travel long distances. Abolishing airplanes altogether is one of the least thought out takes I've ever heard.
Confirmed
Never thought I'd see the day, someone admitting they were wrong online. Take some imaginary gold.
Saw it last night in IMAX. There were no parts that dragged. It did not feel like 3 hours and was very engaging the whole time. I'm still reflecting on it. Go see it if you can in IMAX
I would say it is poorly managed for the fact that their rules and community standards are not clearly outlined. They ban for reasons not listed in their rules. For a community this large, there needs to be some sort of outlined expectations. It's fairly apparent they are more interested in moderating the subreddit and this Lemmy community is downstream of that in their minds. Expecting us to just magically know the subreddit standards without being listed out is textbook bad management.
The com at the time was dominated by discussion of the Prodigy cancellation, so it was a relevant topic and not being overly critical for the sake of being overly critical. It presented an opinion of the cancelation that wasnt predicting doom and gloom for the franchise like the mod line being pushed at the time.
Even if it isn't substantial, why isn't there a list of blocked domains? Or a rule about it? It could have spurred a discussion in the comments, what makes a community forum like this so special. The point is it didn't violate any community standards. Then when I tried to open a discussion about it to try and refine the rules/community standards moving forward (early days of reddit emigration) I was permabanned for starting drama.
I'm not looking for a com where everyone is super critical. I am looking for one where mods are acting as petty little tyrants banning well meaning contributors because they don't have the exact same opinion on certain things as they do.
The mods are more interested in the reddit community and it shows. It's clear Lemmy is downstream of reddit to them.

Getting banned after calling out a power hungry mod.
(lemmy.piperservers.net)
Mod over at !startrek@startrek.website didn't like the opinion presented in an article I shared about the recent cancellation of Star Trek: Prodigy and removed my post to an star trek opinion article. I asked the @ValueSubtracted@startrek.website claimed they removed the opinion piece because they didn't want to give the website clicks.
I wrote a post calling them out on this power hungry practice and tried to involve the community as a whole. As the post gained traction, i was promptly banned for starting "drama"
So now, i guess it's at least mildly infuriating to say the least that a growing community banned someone contributing real discussion worthy content for potentially political reasons and as a result may end up fracturing one of the few kinda centralized communities across the Lemmy verse. I ain't even too mad tho, because that's what makes federation great easy to leave power hungry mods. Too bad for them this ain't reddit 😜
