  • EVs only eliminate tail pipe pollution, otherwise they are more of the same.
    They are multi ton metal boxes rolling on rubber wheels over asphalt roads, often to transport a single person. The create the same amount of traffic and waste the same amount of land on parking. Due to their heavy battery and better acceleration they create more fine particulates of wheel rubber.

    EV are a Verkehrsrichtungsänderung, a Verkehrswende consists of trains and public transit.



  • Finally, a message from Ada:

    Hey, sorry about the way this unfolded.

    I removed hexbear from the blocklist, as they are defederated from us, and I was unaware that it would mean that hexbear users and blahaj users would be able to interact on 3rd party instances. I’ll add them back for now.

    Ultimately, the reason I removed them from the list now is that once we have the ability to let users block instances on a per user level, I am open to the idea of refederating with hexbear, because I am aware that many of their trans and gender diverse users want the ability to connect with our trans communities, and trans solidarity is something that I hold to be very important. Enough that I am willing to give this all another go.

    However, it was only meant to happen after blahaj users had the option to opt out of interacting with hexbear users, and after I had made an announcement letting people know it was coming. I apologise for the screw up leading to a mini refederation before I gave people a heads up and before the tools were in place to let people choose whether they engage with hexbear users.
