A good man
SĂ©rgio lives on the edge of Brazilâs Atlantic Forest â a crucial but often overlooked ecosystem compared to the Amazon. Like much of the land in Brazil, SĂ©rgioâs property had once been cleared of trees to make space for cattle grazing. Realizing that he can make a difference, SĂ©rgio decided to restore the forest in his own backyard.
Fast forward 10 years and SĂ©rgio has planted more than 11,000 trees.
Thanks to the Ecosia community and our local partner, Instituto Espinaço, he hasnât only restored his own land, but also brought life back to a small piece of Brazilâs forgotten forest.

As with all the different federated platforms, each will require its own account, which IMHO is actually a good thing.
Yes, you can link videos within a Lemmy/Kbin thread that points to the video, just like you would with any other video link.
However, when it comes to interactivity/comments in order for this to happen a user needs to follow the channel, for example try following this @Blender
From the point you start following, it will pop up in your timeline like any other user and your comments to it will show up on their instance, just like a YouTube comment.

I have been able to post in a Lemmy community from an Mbin instance without having a Lemmy account, so the separate account limitation is not a universal limitation. Hence why I asked. In any case, I appreciate the answer.
Iâll also say that there is a privacy issue with this design. If I am in a video, my appearance, voice, & part of the world I am in are all revealed & subject to facial rec. I donât generally want my biometrics to then be linked to my threadiverse accts.

I would never touch Youtube. YT also blocks me anyway. Nor would I disclose my identity to peertube beyond whatâs unavoidable as far as biometrics goes.
It would be useful if peertube would add the capability to post to Lemmy (as Kbin does). Until then, we have the burden of creating an extra kbin or lemmy acct just to add a link.

As a visual artist myself, I found this video to be so incredibly inspiring and at the same time it expresses something I've always felt but had difficulty expressing to non-artists.
Danny Gregory goes into how he uses his sketchbook as a visual journal of his life, it's impact on how he experiences the world around him, and how it also creates joy and connection in his life.
I don't believe this is limited to any specific creative pursuit, but rather all creative pursuits. In this day and age where society is obsessed with money and all things quantifiable, we often forget how essential Art is to the human experience.
Take a look, it will make your day:)

What is Lightgassing? A way we harm people by validating their false beliefs

How Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency colluded with industry to avoid a neonic pesticide ban
1. Receive wetland sampling data from Canadian scientist that clearly shows neonic levels that cause harm and must be banned under Canadian law.
2. Share that data with industry groups without researcher's permission, urging them to find "other results". Give them 4 1/2 years to do this.
3. Industry, Bayer and others, finds pretext to throw out "problematic" sites on the grounds that they can't be found on satellite imagery in autumn (normal for seasonal wetlands). Submits their own proprietary, cherry picked, non peer-reviewed data, much of it from simulated rather than real world data collection.
4. Lo and behold a ban on neonics is not needed after all!
5. Ignore scientist's rebuttal.
