Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,

πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.

They have a point - different place, different culture. You can't simply ask people to change just becauss it doesn't fit your mold - why not try to understand them instead. Different culture has different problems and priorities. The west has advanced in such a way that the issues that used big issues to them were solved and no longer becoming problems to them. So they have the capacity to find smaller problems to cherry pick and solve. But for some other places, they still have to face big issues that these smaller issues are not important enough to be prioritised. They will find you weird if you ask them to become a better person by having cats indoor when they have they other bigger priority to deal with.
I find people that don't travel a lot and see the world besides theirs tend to have an opinion like yours. They don't realize that they are different world beyond their realm. So, instead of asking people to change, why not try to understand why they are what they are.
I didn't say they should change right now, which is what you seem to think that I said. My opinion still stands on this, they should change and they can change.
And no, I do and have travelled a lot throughout my life and understand cultural differences and the like in case you wanted to keep commenting on that. It doesn't matter, change can and will always happen.
Then, let look at these three places as simple studies.
That's only three places. You go to different places, they have their own niche issues. Until they can solve their problems or change their culture, they can't simply change just because you tell them what they're doing are bad for the environment.
You've just repeated what you've already said, and I'm now having to repeat what I said.
For point one that you made, birds like that don't simply go extinct in one place and OP never said they did so I don't know what you're going after.
For point two and three, I'll repeat that I again did not say they need to change right now or the cat specific problem will change anytime soon or even in our lifetime. I also never said that I thought they cared.
And I again don't get why you're trying to pick at me personally, especially about how temperature change in a house works.
I'm going to stop replying after this most likely, as you're writing as if I have said things that I have not which is pointless to a conversation.
