  • I’d really like to see more posts come through, without the dip into the “copy Reddit posts” kind of thing. When I open Reddit, I can read 100 posts of varying topics, refresh an hour later and have a lot of new posts to ingest. Lemmy doesn’t have that much activity, so I end up looking at a very similar “popular” feed this morning, this afternoon, this evening. And 1/4 of those posts will also be in my feed again the next day.






  • In this particular situation, Harambe was causing harm to the child, more of a curiosity but with a very strong and less dexterous creature. I don’t think a wild animal should be held accountable for being themselves. So his death is still bullshit.

    There is another example of a child falling into a gorilla enclosure and a female gorilla protected the child from the other gorillas until the zoo staff arrived.

    Most males in the animal kingdom are, at best, indifferent to children of other males/species. At worst, they actively kill babies from other males.
