merridew@feddit.ukto Feddit UK@feddit.uk•Is there a federation issue with lemmy.world?English5·2 years agoGiven my level of technical knowledge, I can confidently say that I am unable to offer support in any way.
But I’ll second that this is a great instance – one which I’ve really enjoyed seeing grow and begin to pick up steam – and anyone able to step up has my gratitude.
merridew@feddit.ukto Feddit UK@feddit.uk•Is there a federation issue with lemmy.world?English16·2 years agoThe “bus factor” is the minimum number of team members that have to suddenly disappear from a project before the project stalls due to lack of knowledgeable or competent personnel.
I guess our bus factor is currently 1.
merridew@feddit.ukto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•"Absolutely disgraceful:" Braverman accused of trying to ‘derail’ Chris Kaba caseEnglish6·2 years agoNot just any attorney. She was the Attorney General for England and Wales from 2021-2022, the chief legal advisor to the Sovereign and the Government.
And got roundly criticised by the Bar Council for her actions undertaken in the role.
merridew@feddit.ukto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•UK's First Consumption Room Given Go Ahead.English4·2 years agoThe perfect is the enemy of the good. If people are going to use – and some are – harm reduction seems like a no-brainer.
Yes, it would be great if people weren’t shooting up at all… but you can’t quit if you’re dead.
merridew@feddit.ukOPto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•London apartment block that deviates from plans must be torn down, says councilEnglish34·2 years agoWell
only one in 10 council planning departments are fully staffed, with 13% operating with fewer than three-quarters of posts filled
with
80% [of local authorities] reporting they did not have enough officers to carry out their workload
because
long-term cuts to funding have had a visible impact on planning departments’ ability to retain staff… there has been a 43% fall in resources to the planning system from local authorities since 2009-10.
merridew@feddit.ukOPto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•London apartment block that deviates from plans must be torn down, says councilEnglish21·2 years agoA fun game of spot the difference, but apparently there’s more going on that you can’t see – eg the planned underground carpark just not being built at all, and them building a carpark over the garden instead.

merridew@feddit.ukto 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Reddit is letting a public figure harass me with impunity because I outed his company for fraudEnglish6·2 years agoThen stop disseminating this information online. For now.
You say you’re taking legal action. Hand all of this to your lawyer, and follow your lawyer’s advice. I am very confident they will advise you to stop posting this in a public forum.
In the meantime, I strongly urge you to talk to a trusted family member, friend, or medical professional. It sounds like you are highly stressed. In the short term, forget any perceived public health emergency. Take care of your own health first.
merridew@feddit.uktoReddit@lemmy.ml•Reddit is letting a public figure harass me with impunity because I outed his company for fraudEnglish4·2 years agoThen sincerely hope that doesn’t impact any investigation by the authorities.
merridew@feddit.uktoReddit@lemmy.ml•Reddit is letting a public figure harass me with impunity because I outed his company for fraudEnglish6·2 years agoMaybe not. Ample time to make an independent judgement whether to downvote.
OP, if you suspect financial crimes are being committed, you should not be tipping off those involved by publicising this.
merridew@feddit.uktoSNOOcalypse - document, discuss, and promote the downfall of Reddit.@lemmy.ml•Reddit is letting a public figure harass me with impunity because I outed his company for fraudEnglish8·2 years agoIs anyone able to screenshot the modmail receipts? I can’t actually see them, and without them OP’s story seems… rather thin.

merridew@feddit.uktoReddit@lemmy.ml•Reddit is letting a public figure harass me with impunity because I outed his company for fraudEnglish11·2 years ago“Authentic engagement”? It’s been a matter of minutes since you accused people on Lemmy of being sockpuppets…
merridew@feddit.uktoSNOOcalypse - document, discuss, and promote the downfall of Reddit.@lemmy.ml•Reddit is letting a public figure harass me with impunity because I outed his company for fraudEnglish28·2 years agoThese accounts somehow were able to fully understand an incredibly complex story in less than 10 minutes
What is easily understandable, in far less than 10 minutes, is that a) this is incredibly hard to follow, and b) your mass-posting this everywhere does not comes across well.
If, as you allude to, you have retained legal counsel, I urge you to ask them if posting this all over the place and getting into internet bunfights is likely to impact your case… and I also urge you to follow their advice when they advise you to stop.

Evidently yes.
