  • If you flipped all the images in manga. All right handed characters are suddenly left handed and vice versa. Everyone is driving on the opposite side of the road. East becomes west and west is east. Anything that is spelled out that isn’t in text bubbles is now a mirror image (like a sign hanging over a shop). Most translated manga books and e readers will explain this if they don’t flip the images.







  • It’s by far been one of if not the best way to reach their audience for well over a decade. RSS feeds might be well used by lemmy users, but you don’t really think most people get their news that way? Or even know how to use RSS, or what it is. I’ve got friends and family members who have never owned a personal computer, but they have accounts on all the biggest social media platforms.


  • The article says that the Australian government is leaving it to the social media platforms to implement the age verification process themselves and that they can face fines if they don’t. Assuming that a company has no physical servers running in Australia, is there any reason they need to pay any attention to this? Aside from their platform bring outright banned I suppose. I’ve had debates on lemmy about whether a website operates in other countries just because it is accessible or not. If a lemmy instance based outside of Australia fails to implement age verification, should they be worried about being fined? Will the majority of the fediverse(assuming the majority don’t implement this) be banned in Australia?
