Rest in peace. He was 26.

I’m on the Sublinks Matrix, the project has come to a halt.

That’s sad :( any specific reason why?

Mbin so far looks promising to me

I prefer to have my own community, I already have my own vision/preference on what I want the community would be like

I’ve said this before:

I wanted something like Skyscrapercity forum but on Lemmy, or something similar to r/transit.

(As a context, in Skyscrapercity is a discussion forum about infrastructures in the world, underrated website)

Public transports are not limited to trams, trolleys, and street cars. It also includes trains, high-speed rail buses, etc. And my vision for this community is that I want the community to be discussion-oriented. For example, the accessibility of a public transport, the obstacles of building one, the ticket price, the effect it has on the city, integrations between modes, etc. Take a look at https://reddit.com/r/transit for example.

To be clear, I’m not saying that !trams_trolleys_streetcars@lemmy.blahaj.zone is a bad community, it just has difference purpose, as far as I can understand. I’ll probably try to crosspost some of the post there.

Also, I’m still not sure what type of posts succeed the most. Whether it’s discussion/question posts, photos, or posting links from other websites

I also try to engage in the comment section after posting

I’m thinking of adding “Question of the Week” type of thread to !publictransport@slrpnk.net

You keep dismissing said person as a troll, yet I feel like they have a point

I know you’re not the same moderator they were talking about, but I just want to make you aware of this: https://ponder.cat/comment/1193264

This moderator behavior here is exactly what you’d see on reddit lol

I use solarpunk and disappointed that it happened to you. I felt like solarpunk was the best instance Lemmy has, it feels like it has the least amount of echo chamber. Maybe I’m wrong.

I moderate my own community in solarpunk and I will try my best to not be like the moderator you talk about

Just found a really good video covering the example of what’s stopping USA to build transit projects (specifically in LA). He invited an expert suited for this topic and the points are coherent.

• US has been building highways too much, they forgot how to build proper transit
• Environmental issues being weaponized against building transits (while highways keeps getting built)
• Similarly “citizen voice” has also been weaponized, for example Ticket Master CEO try to stop subway project so that it doesn’t tunnel below his Bel Air neighborhood even though the tunnel dug very deep below surface that it won’t affect on top

Highly recommend watching this video.

Good point. Though that MSR type of reactors eliminates nuclear meltdown scenario AFAIK. So it shouldn’t be as bad as Fukushima… I think?

Reminds me of Malaysia’s .com.my

Noted, thanks

what’s with billionaires trying to make cautionary tales real (Metaverse, etc)

also, to quote some user from Hacker News:

His company, like 9 out of 10 YC companies, is destined to fail. That is all the poetic justice you’ll ever need.

I wanted something like Skyscrapercity forum but on Lemmy, or something similar to r/transit.

Also I just remembered that the talk about nuclear reactor Indonesia started just in time with the news about undersea cable between Singapore and Australia being approved by Singapore gov. There are rumour that suggests that Indonesia should build its nuclear reactor near Batam island (island near Singapore) so that Indonesia’s power could be exported to Singapore. I cannot find realible source about this tbh.

Recently, since the new elected president of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, has been in office since October 2024, there has been a good news about building nuclear power generator in Indonesia. Specifically, back in October, he stated in Indonesia-Brazil Business Forum that Indonesia wants to build nuclear reactor [1]. There aren’t a lot of information about this yet, but it seems that Indonesia wants to use Thorcon’s molten-salt reactor technology [2]. Honestly, my knowledge about nuclear reactor isn’t deep, but it seems that molten-salt reactor seems really safe as it eliminates the nuclear meltdown scenario [3].

Honestly? As an Indonesian, I can only believe his word when they actually started building, when I see said reactor physically with my own eyes. After all politicians lies all the time, that includes Indonesian politicians. Especially Indonesian politician, haha. Talk is cheap after all. But the fact that Prabowo himself says that Indonesia wants to build nuclear reactor gives me hope.

What are your thoughts on this? Is molten-salt reactor a good technology?

It’s rare to see such positive news. I myself an Indonesian and didn’t know about this. Thanks for sharing
