They can't/won't talk to anyone to the right of them (and it's pretty much the same the other way around for right leaning parties)

in germany we now have a self-proclaimed far-left party on the one side and a populist right party on the other side. nobody wants to work with either of them, and they are the only parties gaining in numbers (the more radical they behave)

1930's all over again?

a bit too much synchronisity for my taste at least

I got a friend from there, he thinks the country's being too progressive so he now identifies as facist, complete with his own little party and all. Real autoritarian sh*t. Kinda funny seeing the progressive side managing to produce what they're fighting.

I mean, soon all they'll have to do is appeal to the muslim community considering how quick the german population is lining up with saudi arabia's

there has been a formation of a party that represents those parts of the voters in the netherlands, i think. in germany there are only tiny parties, mostly unorganized not really gaining traction

now that sounds like the 1920's........

roaring 20s

roaring, firebombing, violent uprising 20's yeah

@skog100 yes they produce what they fight, that seems to be the case oftentimes

i changed the channel icon to a beanie

I approve.

i suggest a pic that has a little *air* around the beanie so its more recognizable 😃

👍

hey everyone

hellow

That is a good server icon

Yo

how do you turn on chat history?

rightclick, edit channels, permissions

@Timcast you need to give people permissions

then click on the role you want to adjust (everyone in this case) or make a new role

can't see any of the cht

chat history should be the 11th permission on the list

Much better icon

@Timcast now the newsroom chathistory is visible

I can't find any global setting, so might have to set permission to each individual channel.

yes every individual channel

you can create a *category* in which the channels are placed, then you can bulk edit the category settings for multiple channels at once tho

it makes sense to use one channel with invisible history for newcomers if you plan on keeping the invitelink public, to prevent misdeeds by trolls. and then use some kind of roles for new participants that check out so they can see and interact with the other channels. just a suggestion 😃

Yes, that's a very good idea. It's how I've got my own server set up - the invite link sends yo to #lobby, but that's the only thing you can see until you're assigned a role.

as a precaution. you need mods for it, or there are bot solutions which i am not familiar with.

Yeah, the bot solutions are nice, but they're usually pretty complicated to set up

I'm also partial to the IRC role system of Everyone < Voice < Halfop < Op(erator) < Admin

keeps things simple for roles

isnt there some term for *the followers of tim pool* - acolytes of pool, pooligans... something? 😉

None that I'm aware of
