UAW strike Day 4: GM threatens to send 2,000 workers home, Ford cuts 600 jobs ( www.npr.org )
Union strategy: 13,000 autoworkers at the three Midwest plants, about 9% of the unionized workforce at the Big Three automakers, were the first to walk off the job. Now, more workers are temporarily out of work as the automakers are asking hundreds of non-striking workers not to show up to work....

After the network showed a clip of a young conservative activist saying that climate change was the number one issue for young voters, Fox News moderator Martha MacCallum asked for a show of hands in response to her question, “Do you believe human behavior is causing climate change?”...

“We’ve Changed the Game”: Teamsters Win Historic UPS Contract ( teamster.org )
Today, the Teamsters reached the most historic tentative agreement for workers in the history of UPS, protecting and rewarding more than 340,000 UPS Teamsters nationwide. The overwhelmingly lucrative contract raises wages for all workers, creates more full-time jobs, and includes dozens of workplace protections and improvements....
Ship Lighting ( startrek.website )
My biggest complaint with Live Action Trek vs the two Animation shows is that they seem obsessed with giving us a black ship on a black background. It’s nice to be given a reprieve, even if for only one episode.

Defederation, Threads and You ( kbin.social )
A lot of us are pretty new to the fediverse and we've arrived just in time to grapple with what is easily the biggest federation/defederation controversy ever to hit it. I've put this thread together to hopefully help communicate some of the more complex ideas that we're trying to get our heads around....
Reddit is a dead site running ( dbzer0.com )
Is the next episode a comedy? S204 "Charades" ( lemmy.world )
It is not Lemmy or kbin, it is the fediverse. ( kbin.social )
I don't think many people understand that if they use Lemmy or kbin, they are posting to the fediverse. There are other platforms and will be more to come. Referring to a post on "Lemmy" or "kbin" is like saying you saw a post on your Windows or Mac computer....

Is there any kbin instance that is seriously considering defederating Meta/Threads? ( kbin.social )
I've checked the fedipact signatories, but they all seem to be lemmy instances.
What's your opinion on cross-posting?
One of the hurdles to change for users switching from reddit to a federated platform is less content. The logic goes: “smaller community, less content, I can see i’m missing out on stuff over there so I’m not going to switch away”....
3rd party app for Reddit, Boost, is still functioning well after July 1st ( www.reddit.com )
Some users wonder if the dev will be charged for having it still up, others argue Reddit can't charge him without having signed a contract. Everyone is confused as to why the API change hasn't made it inoperable....
Any change today? ( kbin.social )
Curious about if there is any discernable difference anyone can see if they may have popped in to Reddit today? I know it's probably naive to think there would be a big difference first day....
PSA: while upvoting exists, to get the "move closer to the top" effect that reddit's upvote had, you need to click boost ( kbin.social )

Fediverse won't replace Reddit as long as Lemmy is the main platform being promoted ( kbin.social )
Think about things from the point of view of someone who has never used Reddit or the fediverse, but you've heard about them both from recent news articles and want to see what they are about....
Reminder: reddit may be dead, but trolls are not. ( kbin.social )

I feel like less of a man because of how emotionally sensitive I am.
I don’t know how else to describe it, but all my male friends and family are very unemotional. Not in the sense that they don’t feel anything, but that they are a lot better at handling them and I feel like I’m not. I’ve tried meditation, therapy, healthy eating and a better sleep schedule but nothing works. I still...
