- Comment on 'He doesn't feel like a normal child': War's toll on Gaza's babies 4 hours ago:
“Statistically, the sheer number of children as a percentage of the population that have been killed or wounded is huge, so Gaza’s different because of the level of indiscriminate attacks.”
The majority are growing up in tents and ruins, deprived of food and safety.
Nearly 40,000 children have lost one or both of their parents, Gazan authorities say.
According to the UN, there are more child amputees per capita in Gaza than anywhere else in the world.

Well said.

I saw this lastnight on wider lemmy. The Israelis are a lost and sorry people it seems, if they think these acts are in any way acceptable or intelligent. It seems they’re driven by haye and spite at this point. And too few of their number speak out against it.

- Comment on China ferry fleet built amid Taiwan invasion preparations, classified report warns 1 week ago:
Thats it, i think. Send a token force alongside whatever the US does?
The problem i have with Australians at the moment is we’re not really thinking very clearly about the practicalities of the changing global order. We should be increasing the size of our military as quickly as possible, whether that means a reinteoduction of conscription i dont know, but i find it surprising defence and government officials aren’t bringing up these issues with the Australian public more. I think the best example of this discourse, was Malcolm Turnbulls series of defence diacussions at the beginning of the year.
- Comment on China ferry fleet built amid Taiwan invasion preparations, classified report warns 1 week ago:
Those things are huge. They’ve been planning for this for a long time, but American Republicans are making it easier than ever for the Chinese to foresee the possibility of invasion.
These moves are why the post war world order, where there were still some semblance of international rules was so determinedly held onto for so long. Without a legitimate successor international regime it becomes might makes right, something American Republicans will never understand, or possibly even feel the consequences of.

- Comment on I feel like there's been a sudden influx on new active aussie.zone users. Coincidence, or did something happen? 1 week ago:
There is no way you should be paying that on your own. I thought things were good with once a year payments, but i’ll look at setting payments up for monthly instead. I’ll increase the amount as well.

Well, okay. You know more about this stuff than i, it might not be a bot. If you view by Local theres usually a post in the top ten most active still up from their latest account.
Theres someone that keeps launching new lemmy.world accounts and spamming some AZ communities. A look at their history and you can see they’re doing the same with British and European communities as well. The accounts when left to run, quickly reach the hundreds of posts, with only a few comments so there seems to be someone actively controlling it to some degree? Some of the comments were… interesting. They don’t seem malicious, from what i’ve seen at least, but definitely spammy, which can undercut quality of discussions.
So i don’t know if this is a bot or not, but its kinda insane behaviour, relentless, if its a person doing all of it.

It must be time consuming, especially due to the constant monitoring.

We’re pretty protective of our ~500ish regulars. We are not a large instance, but our users are very engaged. We don’t want them to be drowned out by a massive influx of new accounts utterly shifting the vibe of the site overnight
Well i hadn’t considered that, but perhaps i should’ve considering the effect that one bot account has had.
- Comment on I feel like there's been a sudden influx on new active aussie.zone users. Coincidence, or did something happen? 2 weeks ago:
Whoever has been spamming Lemmy with that bot, davriellelouna or whatever they’ve called it this week, i think has deteriorated the salience of discussions to a degree. But these accounts a getting tagged really quickly in the last week, i suppose this is something Lodion and Nath are doing in the background. Cheers for your efforts admins!
- Comment on I feel like there's been a sudden influx on new active aussie.zone users. Coincidence, or did something happen? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, i think Lodions a great steady hand on the tiller. For me, i feel like AZ could become the basis for a wider ‘fediverse first’ set of social media alternatives for Australians. That would take more active growth and discussions and actions on direction in that vein. Lodion has a different vision to me on this projects development, and Lodions the lead on this experiment, and we’ve hashed that out before.
There are definitely practical, time consuming administrative hurdles that Lodion and Nath have highlighted that a user and cheerleader like me rarely notices, i think this is a key driver behind the non-listing. The only thing i can say to that is there seems a fairly technologically knowledgable and engaged set of people on AZ that might be willing to muck in to support the project in material administrative ways. There are some particular users that i’m surprised aren’t admins from the beginning tbh, but thats my ‘on the outside looking in’ assessment of a situation i don’t really know about.
- Comment on Republicans warn PM of 'punitive measures' over Palestinian recognition 2 weeks ago:
No surprise that these ghouls can’t see a problem with the failed US policy in regards Israel and Palestine.
The rest of the west should carry on. This should be the beginning of the medium powers working more cloesly together, outside of the coordinating influence of the Major power.

- Comment on Dibber dobber Donny: Trump tattletales on TV reporter 2 weeks ago:
Well, i don’t know.
Lyons kinda did, he didn’t engage the The Greater-Cheezel’s imagination, probably a bit too straight down the line. But Lyons already has an article up about his point that The Greater-Cheezel isn’t getting normal journalistic questioning.
I haven’t had time to read the article but Lyons must have known how those questions would go and the likely results beforehand, so thats kind of a troll.
In Donald Trump’s America, questions not to the president’s liking are met with hostility
- Comment on Dibber dobber Donny: Trump tattletales on TV reporter 2 weeks ago:
I’d say in this case milquetoast Albanese is exactly what the nation wants. Lyons can look after himself, he’s a capable journo, Albanese has the national interest to think about.
A meeting derailed by a fight over a journo’s questions isn’t whats wanted by Australia, even if it would be satisfying to see those cunts get a serve. The Australian media should do what only they and the English can do best, satirise what they see, ask reasonable sounding questions with ridiculous premises, satirise them. The Americans in power won’t understand it, the rest will have a good giggle.
For example,
A reporter could ask him how fast his new plane from the Qataris is?
Does he think his new plane could outrun Air Force 1?
Would it be crazy to think a race between the two to decide which plane should be the real Air Force 1 would be awesome?
Maybe it could be a race from Greenland to the Panama canal, then up to Ontario? Wow that’d really be something Mr President.
See how far you get, theough it, see how ridiculous you can make the propositions, enjoy how he reacts, there is literally no reaction he can give that wouldn’t be funny. And, all the while you’re highlighting the extravangances , thoughtlessness and threats this cheezel-dictator has made over the last few months.

- Comment on Help Me Understand Nampijinpa Price 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been listening to this weeks Minefield and considering their topic as an emotional driver for different actors here and internationally.
Price’s actions in relation to ego and “saving face” from those embarrassments, and/or the need to dominate opponents, perceived and real, in reaction to their internal view of themselves and their identified ‘side’.
I think its helping me, you might find their discussion insightful as well.

- Comment on what is up with u/dwazoup 4 weeks ago:
Just noticed this new account myself! Bad week for dav! Accout after account, tututut…
Yeah its too much, never know, maybe this new account has been improved, but i’d rather not interact with a bot all the time.
Interestingly there were a few comments last week from the u/davriellelouna account. I’d started to hope the person behind it had decided to engage in a more meaningful way, but no go.
- Comment on Families ‘shattered’ and community ‘terrified’ as police hunt alleged Melbourne machete murderers 4 weeks ago:
But… dav… why is it always a variation of the name?
Its sticks out, its very noticeable. Surely theres random name generators out there if you want to disguise the account. But why are try to disguise it?
Please answer, tell me your secrets… oh dav of the lake. :p
- Comment on what is up with u/dwazoup 4 weeks ago:
Hey Blaze! :)
Didn’t realise the account had been banned places, seemed to be everywhere for a while. Maybe if it is somebody fiddling about with a bot they step off the gas a bit with their posting schedule. Feels like an avalanche of irrelevance at times with all the seemingly aimless, and low substance posts.
I’m all for boosting activity on Lemmy, but activity for activity’s sake risks a slop-like situation.
It also quickly buries posts that may be more engaging quicker than is necessarily necessary. A slower social media doesn’t mean a bad social media after all.
- Comment on UK police arrest nearly 900 at London protest for banned Palestine Action group 4 weeks ago:
I’s listening to Rory Stewart’s view on this listing of this group. Apparently they’ve been listed as a terror organisation because members broke into a air force base and spray painted graffiti on a jet?
So, his take, which seems reasonable to me, why should we be focusing so much attention on these protestors and not on the ridiculous situation that some guy cab graffiti millions of pounds worth of military equipment. Like wheres the base security?
This isn’t a case of homegrown terrorism, this is a case of severly embarrassed military, and thats what the press, and government should be focused on.
We’re in the most tumultuous geopolitical time since the end of WW2 and the British are arresting and designating protestors? Get a grip.
