I’m here to be cute and be inflammatory. Lemmy is a dumpsterfire and I am a pyromancer raccoon.

  • I think it should. By not including this information it’s hard to understand what’s even happening. I guess it falls into the problem of all communities built around collective hate of something which is that the default response of people will just to be angry at whatever is posted.

    I like the idea of a community that calls out mod abuse but I’m seeing lots of posts where it’s like “I said these things and I was banned.” Like okay? What judgements can I really make. Are you being honest? If I go to the post will you have really only said those things? Will there be other comments where you are saying other things that might play into the mods decision? Simply providing links to posts would help so much in quelling break out bloodlust in these lynch mob like communities. And for the cases where there is definitive mod abuse if the post isn’t linked I can’t go there and see that.

    Probably give this community a couple more chances, if the quality of posts stays like this I’ll just filter it like I do with all the other “thing bad” communities.











  • Yeah I should have clarified that when I said “that sounds incredibly low” I wasn’t talking about relative to other countries I was talking about my perception of how many vacant homes there were in china. Before reading the article I thought it was wayyyy more than that.

    Anectodatally I’ve heard similar things from people who have visited china and talked to locals who would complain about the quality (primarily the aesthetics and lack of individuality) of buildings there. I feel the solution to that problem is actually building more/ different houses though ironically.



  • 65 million is about 5% of the population of China, I think that’s a fine amount of excess so people living communally have an easy option to move out to and for young adults moving out of home. I don’t think impact on environment/ economy is that big a deal from my perspective. My perspective being someone who pays over 10 times the amount of rent my parents did, housing being such a large expense of mine that it can be considered my only expense and everything else is a rounding error and being constantly stressed about having a place to live. I would have 0 problems if my government were to vastly increase its investment in housing even at the expense of the environment.
