The words of Greta Thunberg this week

Activists are being systemically targeted with repression and are paying the price for defending life and the right to protest.
We are seeing now extremely worrying developments where activists all over the world are experiencing increased repressions just for fighting for our present and our future.
There is extreme hypocrisy when it comes to this. All over the world we’re experiencing this. Not the least, for example, here in France. Just the other day - that activists are being systemically targeted with repression and are paying the price for defending life and the right to protest.
We’re still speeding in the wrong direction
We are now at an extremely critical point. The emissions of greenhouse gasses are at an all-time-high, and the concentration of Co2 in the atmosphere hasn’t been this high in the entire history of humanity.
And we’re still speeding in the wrong direction. The emissions are on the rise, and science has been very clear on this. And the people living on the front-lines of the climate emergency have been sounding the alarm for a long time

@itchy_lizard ahhh OK that makes sense. I’m still getting used to this! I tend to sort by new still and got confused about seeing it a few times.
@itchy_lizard is it me or did this thing get posted to like 13 different subs in less than a minute
I posted it to all relevant lemmy communities, yes. Unfortunately it took longer than a minute.
One annoying thing about Lemmy is that there’s currently no way for the same community (eg a “linux” community) on different instances to actually be one super-community (I know there’s a feature request for this though).
Consequently, you have to post it to what is essentially the same community but on multiple different instances. And with IP rate limiting, that’s annoyingly slow to do.
