That account has been busy, too. 1 week old and has created 99 threads, mostly political rage bait.

A rotating hinge I thought was cool

It's a way to make a self-closing gate that uses gravity rather than a spring. Those two pivot points are each offset horizontally from the upper hinge.

This spammer created multiple accounts on various Lemmy instances to post self advertisements. How do we combat this?

That's me! Unfortunately, I don't have any clever solutions to active spamming other than responsive moderation, and better mod tools whenever they become available.
I was notifying instance admins of suspicious user totals that looked like swarms of auto-created bot accounts. Last time I checked, half a dozen admins that I contacted have deleted about 250,000 suspicious dormant accounts. It's not a solution to the problem, but it's something.

Abadiño in Basque Country has a kind of trippy flag.
It looks so much better in real life than it does in the Wikipedia image. Still busy, but not hard on the eyes.

UCI bans transgender women from competing in elite international races
The womens category should be reserved for cis women, and the mens category should be open to all. I know that won't please everyone, but it's better than outright banning a whole category of people.

How do I contact an instance’s sysadmins?
In a browser, visit a Lemmy instance's main page. The admins are listed in the sidebar. Note their usernames.
Still in a browser, go to your home instance and login. Hit the search magnifying glass in the top right corner, and do a user search for whichever admin you want to message. You may have to type in their whole ID in the form @exampleuser@instancename. When their name comes up in the search results, click on it and you should see a "Send Message" button as part of their profile.
