  • I’ve heard good things about the Amelanchier × lamarckii too in context of food forests! Space is rare though so I’m not sure yet what else to get. I’m not actively converting the lawn other than not mowing it except for 1-3 times a year, it’s more that I started with the trees and am continuously expanding from there, plus some shrubs here and there and the hedge. There’s some clover already but actively converting feels like a lot of work which I’m trying to avoid.






  • Obligated? It depends on the users a bit (since you say migrating, I guess I already know them?).

    But generally a reminder won’t hurt. Not everyone gets educated on digital spaces and also we tend to forget which consequences our posts might have.

    You mentioned young people as an example who should be able to fuck up without it being held against them too long and I agree. I think public social media might not be the best place for that in general, and certainly not with names that can easily be mapped to their offline id.


  • but usually when using social media we can operate under the assumption that the delete button works.

    Not at public sites. There’s several websites that mirror whole reddit where you’ll find plenty of deleted posts and comments. There’s Twitter archives as well that keep copies of all kinds of accounts and posts.

    You may have better chances in semi-public social media like Facebook where you have to be logged in to see anything. But you really can’t operate under that assumption as long as you’re on public social media.


  • Communicating with each other does not mean you can withdraw your post from everywhere.

    Every public post in the never can and will be copied elsewhere, be it the Internet archive, a reddit mirror, a screenshot on Tumblr, Google search index or some scraping AI. You have zero say in this and you are not able to withdraw it - even if there’s some law that says you can, in many cases you don’t even know about the copy. And if you send a letter and ask them to delete it, they can say yes but you can’t know for sure.

    There’s no way to guarantee someone will delete something you sent them. They’ll always be able to take a copy.

    The fediverse can’t do that either. Nobody can. But the fediverse has a specified way to tell “this post isn’t here anymore, would be cool if you would delete it as well” and for the biggest part, other instances will respect that.







  • I’m just starting and the patch of land is pretty small, but I’m trying to get a mini food forest going in our frontyard in Northern Germany.

    There’s 4 trees (mirabelle, plum, apricot, pear) to which I finally planted “companions” a few days ago, a small hedge consisting of insect friendly shrubs, some Blueberry plants. Also a Magnolia, Cherry Laurel (leftover from former owners) and another unidentified big shrub. Also some flowers here and there, but most of it is still (former, unmown) lawn which is going to be converted step by step.

    I don’t think Fedi forum was her job, but maybe it is?

    I strongly disagree with it generally being dumb to (unanonymously) raise your voice on a topic that might cause you problems in the future. It’s a consideration of priorities and going “this is my name and I stand up for xy” (maybe by a coworker even) is usually more impactful than some anon accounts or persona. Of course it might impact your career or whatever, but for some people it’s worth the potential consequences.

    I too use (semi) anonymous accounts for different things, but I don’t go “neutral” at work or anywhere really. Most political organizations won’t work with only anons (Anonymous is an exception). Saying using your real name for “controversial” politics stuff is dumb? Hard no.

    Also, which topics are controversial and which aren’t is always subject to change. Maybe she lives somewhere where transphobic positions will help her? She’s rightfully gone from this position and I wish transphobia would be a unacceptable everywhere but it isn’t and she might find other people/orgs/position where it’s a benefit even.
