UPS union workers voted to approve the right to strike Friday, putting the nation’s largest shipping company a step closer to a shutdown that could threaten the transportation of goods and commodities nationwide later this summer.

The Teamsters, the union representing 340,000 UPS employees, authorized a nationwide strike as of Aug. 1

The size and power of Teamsters is awe-inspiring. Solidarity forever.

New to midwest.social and lemmy in general and I had a question - I made some posts/comments from lemmy.ml but I noticed they weren't getting any interaction and they weren't actually showing up when I visited midwest.social directly. Additionally, when subscribing to a community, the button turned to "subscribe pending." Does this mean lemmy.ml is blocked here? I noticed there is a Blocked Instances list (https://midwest.social/instances) but lemmy.ml is listed under Linked Instances

I can't check right now because it seems like lemmy.ml is down right now (so maybe you're right about that), but I'm almost certain I only have english enabled. I'll re-try subscribing too. I did see there's a github issue that seems somewhat related to this https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1315

edit: tbh I might just end up staying here; I like it here. Only went on lemmy.ml because it was the first one I heard about.

I'm a mod of /c/kansascity and ours is one that is broken. I'm not sure if this is the case for others with broken icons, but I'm actually unable to update the icon or even the sidebar text at all. Clicking save results in an indefinitely-spinning loading icon. I've let it sit for a long time and it never does anything. I wanted to give it a few days before bothering @seahorse@midwest.social about it in case it was my problem, but it seems like it's still doing it.

Oh wow, sure enough that did it. Maybe this is helpful: I was inspecting it with the firefox network inspector and with both English and Undetermined selected, clicking save doesn't send any network requests at all.

Hopefully! Thanks for everything.

It's not giving me the option to appoint you as mod, maybe because you're admin? I see the option on others' posts but not this one

Ohh interesting, I'll check on that too

Some context for everyone else: I'm unable to update the community icon, banner, or sidebar text. Clicking save just spins infinitely.

But, now it is letting me update the sidebar with both selected.

Something else weird, with only undetermined selected on the community, I was able to update the sidebar, but I was unable to reply to you (same infinitely spinning issue) until I reenabled both English and Undetermined on the community (I have both enabled in my user settings)

I'm somewhat expecting another wave of growth here in a few days when the reddit api price changes take effect.

Hey, cool, you can just upload them to imgur, dropbox, google drive, or any other method you like and just provide me a link.

Hey, same!
