Comment on Labor will announce home battery rebate in “coming days,” says federal treasurer

• kudra@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  From the article you linked:

  “Factors contributing to used EV sales trends cited by the report authors included:

  • The implementation of the FBT exemption in November 2022 that potentially prompted EV owners to acquire new vehicles, contributing to an increase in the availability of used EVs. 
  • Uncertainty surrounding battery health of used EVs deterring some potential buyers.
  •  Pricing of new EV models coming down, negatively impacting used EV prices.

  The authors of the report did caution the EV pricing findings were volatile because of the small amount of vehicles involved.”

  I would say the biggest issue is likely that new EVs are coming rapidly down in price, with longer range, so a second hand EV is comparatively not as good value currently. Many people are waiting for slightly bigger batteries or different types of ev, and I’ve seen at least half a dozen BYD Sharks on the road, one I talked to the guy had literally bought it yesterday, and many of them are getting tax benefits to buy new.

  You are making out it’s all about battery concern where there’s much more going on.

  So, you’re a moderator in a politics community, and you troll in various places on Lemmy, and like to threaten if you are challenged. Interesting.

  Can’t help wondering if the other mods here might want to look into whether that’s a good thing… or not.

    I have the notification of your deleted comment so I can see what you said, so I’ll address it.

    1. No, I didn’t delete anything. You can check the mod log.

    2. There was no “threat inherent” in my post. As a moderator would you prefer I tell you when you’re veering off into breaking the rules, or not and then just ban you when you continued? I simply told you to watch where you’re going with the accusations of trolling - and more importantly the “you don’t belong here” comment. You don’t get to gatekeep here. You have no right telling anyone that they don’t belong here, or accusing them of being a troll. That’s bordering breaking the rules, which I pointed out.

    3. It’s entirely appropriate mod behaviour, telling people they’re getting close to breaking the rules. Calling people trolls because you disagree with them, and telling them they don’t belong in a public community is not appropriate member behaviour, hence why I told you to watch what you’re doing.

    4. Accusing me of deleting your comment is, again, borderline unacceptable and starting to push it.

    I’m not going to ban you for any of this like you want me to, but if you break the rules flagrantly a moderator will take action, even if it’s not me.

    Like to threaten? Lol good one. I told you that accusing me of trolling and saying I don’t belong here is starting to go too far. I didn’t threaten you, I didn’t give you a warning, I didn’t take any mod action. I didn’t take any action when you were name calling or throwing out other snide remarks, because that’s not a mod-worthy problem.

    Look at you “threatening” to try and get me cancelled because I told you to calm it down a bit lol. You’re behaving like a child.

      I think the ratio on your comments Lemmy-wide speaks for itself. If it quacks etc etc. Maybe think about how you come across to people, and if you’ve been called a troll and blocked multiple times by people on a variety of communities, then perhaps some self reflection might be warranted.

        The ratio? I assume you’re talking about upvotes/downvotes as if they mean anything other than to point out the political leanings of the people on Lemmy, which we all know is borderline communist at worst (and far, far left at best).

        For example saying “Illegal immigrants should be deported” almost anywhere on Lemmy will get you mass downvoted. Saying “Karmelo Anthony is a murderer who should spend the rest of his life in jail” will get you downvoted to oblivion almost anywhere on Lemmy.

        It’s not a reflection on me, It’s merely a reflection of the political leanings of the population here. Are you saying that anyone that says things that go against the echo chamber - of which Lemmy is most certainly an echo chamber - is a troll and should leave/be banned?

        Since you want to go there, show me what exactly you disagree with in my posts.

        Touching on your banning comment - If you look at my moderation history I was banned from 2 communities (on the one instance) I’ve never so much as commented on because the person that was disagreeing with me (who just so happens to be very active on that instance) obviously got me banned for no reason other than he disagrees.

        Again - banned from a place I’ve literally never posted, commented, or voted on, because someone couldn’t help but abuse their mod power. Apart from that it’s a bunch of nothing.

        I bet you can’t even see the irony in what you’re saying though. Trying to get me “cancelled” and have my moderator status taken off because we’re having a disagreement and I told you to just cool your jets with the attempted gatekeeping and accusations……yet I’m the one who needs to do some “self reflection”?

        This has now gone beyond a thread derailment and is borderline harassment and bad faith arguing, so I’m telling you now - this is the end of this personal attacking from you. If you want to continue you are welcome to PM me, but you will not detail this thread anymore with this vendetta of yours.

        This isn’t a “threat”, it’s simply telling you that this is not acceptable.

        Understand?
