Too many tourists?

It's a problem at least in Barcelona and in their near cities. Youth people and most of the working class can't pay the price to get a home there. A lot of housing has moved as a tourist service (airbnb... ) missing their social use.

Why the state monopoly on identity is worse than Big Tech

This article is a not sense. There is not a monopoly of identity: a lot of corporations and big tech have an ID about us or, at least, about me.

Also, in my case, the state have paid most of my education, my healthcare, the street where I live... nor google not other big tech have paid a dime for it.

The critic in the article has his points, but the proposed solution—using capitalist enterprises to issue IDs—is nonsense. We will lose track of people from a fiscal point of view, and it will not solve the problem of the people that not any corporation would issue an ID.

Dogma and "Transphobia"

YDI, at least in the community of the lemmy.blajah.zone instance. In the other communities, a long ban could be excessive, but it's not easy to judge that the transphobic[^1] post was done in good faith.

[^1]: e.g., two people with the same physical traits, one a cis woman, the other a transgender woman, your reasoning will let the first one practice the sport and will forbid it to the second one.

::: spoiler Edited to clarify that they were community bans (not from instances). :::

PTB.

Its probably too far to say "full throated support for genocide",

The USA is not only supporting the genocide with money and arms; they (and the UK) have also been bombing the only state (Yemen) that has tried to fulfill the international principle of Responsabilty to Protect (R2P) and has deployed their naval army to prevent others states to do it and/or to help with the genocide.

For me, that's enough to speak of an Israel-USA-UK genocide.

And sorry to go off-topic. 🤷🏽
