You can vote in all Canadian Elections without an id.
I live in Canada, I can vote using my free government issued healthcard or I can bring a friend to vouch for me, or i can bring a student id and a bill. While most people probably vote with their drivers license or photo ID this enables people who are homeless, very old, or in my case in 2021, just moved. (Here’s what’s needed for the curious). You’ll notice in that link there are special exemptions for people who live in long term care homes, for whom it is much more common to have no form of id.
People who don’t have easy access to id are societies most vulnerable people and I think it is especially important that they have access to voting.
America does not have a free form of id (in most states anyway) and does not allow someone to vouch as a form of identification.

There’s some good and some bad imo.
I’m indifferent to slightly tightening gun regulations,
I think more money for cyber crimes is a good idea and more money for equipment to secure the border is necessary as the us unravels. More early retirement isn’t something I will complain about and will win a lot of votes amoung those effected. I think the organized car theft is something worthwhile to address.
I like criminalizing unconsenual deepfake porn and becoming stricter on revenge porn.
Increasing funding to Building Safer Communities Fund sounds nice but might just be lip service.
I don’t like making bail more difficult, but con leaning voters will love it. I don’t like most of the tougher sentencing but it is a more reasonable version of pp’s 3 strikes horribleness that undercuts him while in practise not changing things that much.
And just because people keep hammering screws doesn’t mean hammers aren’t useful.
Yeah and no one federates with them for a reason, despite the fact it would about 500x the userbase.
Corporate buy in, just look at bluesky. I don’t want lemmy to grow.
I think some spreaders of misinformation are victims and not intentional bad actors. Banning them from legitimate communities only pushes them further from reality which is bad for our society. Telling the difference between useful idiots and bad actors is hard, so i think the general policy should be a warning and a ban until election day, and having the mods reserve the right to be harsher for clear bad actors.
- No self posts.
I strongly think this rule should change, it is important we are able to humanize each other, make our own arguments. Self posts are important way to do that. I think some guidelines to keep it constructive and high effort is warranted but an outright ban I’m against.
- No meme/image/shitposting.
I’m fine with this, but maybe a weekly mega thread to blow off steam in would be healthy?
No calls for violence. Full stop.
I understand the legal obligations here. I’ll also point out the president elect is openly calling for widespread violence. If some can say “cops should shoot/arrest/deport <xyz>” that is a call for violence.
Mods, You have a hard, thankless job, so thank you.
Wow I saw the original in isolation and thought it was a left wing meme pointing out how one-sided that sort estrangement is. It’s kinda hilarious that the author intended for it to be played straight.
The requirements vary by location I imagine.
In my province the most burdensom requirements are a top speed of 35kph and functional pedals. My ebike has a hand throttle.
I have many different saving buckets. As far as I’m concerned every expense is coming from “savings” it’s just a matter of how often those expenses come up.
Some examples from small to large:
I made one of those a while back, I like it a lot, but I sort of like the idea of the numbers have a different vertical height, I may have to try @Wirlocke 's idea and do a 484 design.
IDK maybe it varies by area and what you a re looking for but almost all my furniture is thrifted/scavenged and I think the most I paid for a single thing was a 100 bucks. I go to a local thift store not one of the big chains. I also don’t have to buy with any sort of time pressure.
E: the idea that it invalidates IKEAs existence is crazy though.
I just skimmed thorugh the libreddit readme so maybe I’m missing something but would self hosting your own lemmy instance not accomplish everything you are looking for?
I Wonder if that could be a somewhat mutually acceptable anticheat solution. Launch any competitive game in a custom image that is locked down.
