None of my posts (or presumably comments, though I haven't checked) in AZ communities seem to have gotten through since 25 days ago.

And that's just within !brisbane. No idea how many other posts may also have gotten lost. Not sure what's up.

Command and Conquer Generals 2 is one of the most enduring mysteries of real time strategy. And today, I’m going to share with you what really happened.

Queensland's Parliament is currently considering a bill which would effectively ban ebikes. They would be unable to go more than 10 km/h on footpaths and shared paths, which make up over 90% of the so-called "bike paths" in Brisbane. It will also force you to have a driver's licence to ride an ebike, ban under-16s from riding them at all, and increase the penalty for riding without a helmet for both ebikes and analogue bikes.

There's also the niche fact that it will require ebikes be compliant with the EN 15194:2017+A1:2023 standard, instead of just the basic EN 15194 standard. This is a specific niche change that means all older ebikes and even most currently-sold ebikes will be non-compliant with the technicalities of the law, even though they fit within the basic premise of being: (a) pedal assist, (b) 250 W maximum, and (c) incapable of going more than 25 km/h with motor assistance. One of the cycling advocates in Brisbane went to a local major bike store and checked their inventory. They only sold one model that complied with this new standard. And it was a child's bike, and thus de facto illegal under these laws regardless, since children cannot ride ebikes.

Next week, Aldi's specials will include a folding ebike. It will almost certainly not be compliant with the 2023 standard.

The details of the bill and the committee can be found here: https://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/Work-of-Committees/Committees/Committee-Details?cid=272&id=8575

Submissions to the committee close at 10 am this coming Friday . So get them in by Thursday evening!

A few days ago I came across a comment in one of this Instance's Communities made by a user of this Instance, which very directly parroted Nazi talking points. Not in a way that was satirising Nazis, but which was endorsing their type of supremacist worldview.

Other comments in that thread noted that the user in question has a history of unironically endorsing a foreign genocidal regime and its actions.

I tried reporting the comment in question, but as of today the comment still stands and the user who made the comment has been as active as ever.

Is this Instance ok with Nazis?
