The thing to keep in mind here is that he's very much targeting kids (teenagers but still minors lacking real-world experience) and this is exactly the wrong response to that sort of phenomenon.

Pretty sure it's not. Wired is just talking about the wrong thing. Currently threads voice posts federate fine.
modern wave of feminism
I think it's worthwhile here to distinguish between fourth wave feminism and pop feminism as it's practiced by corporations and celebrities. Fourth wave feminism absolutely makes space for men in the movement, and the ideas of intersectionality are incredibly useful in untangling the male struggle. Corporate feminism pays lip service to these ideas, but is ultimately shallow and soulless. Unfortunately, corporate feminist aesthetics are far more prevalent in media and for men with heavily gendered social circles this may be the sum total of their exposure to the movement.
It's not so crazy. Most people choose a DE for the defaults
This is an initiative that has been active in producing peer-review open textbooks since 2012.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Yep these are perfect. Had also considered putting together a separate community for books parallel to !opencourselectures@slrpnk.net. The main advantage there is searchability, but that does necessitate that each post relate directly to a book rather than a collection like you've listed here. Also feel free to make a top level post with those links (or if you'd prefer I'd be happy to do it) as that is exactly the sort of content we're looking for.
This is amazing. May also be worthwhile to put together some resources from those templates.
I would really love to see a /c/moviestvdiscussions explicitly. In an ideal world you'd see more direct support from existing movie/tv communities as most of those mods do not seem interested in the extra work. Otherwise, I feel like direct competition with the larger communities will act to everybody's detriment. That said, I did suggest this to @Djinn@lemm.ee and it looked like they simply downvoted and moved on, so that is obviously not ideal. On the other hand, a larger contingent making this suggestion may convince them.
Another path forward may be to reach out to !movies@lemmy.world and !movies@lemmy.ml for links in order to drive traffic here. The former of the two seems to have previously hosted such threads but appears to have stopped (maybe due to the moderation requirements?). If done correctly, this may leave the fediverse more connected while improving the overall quality and levels of content on each community. Given enough momentum !moviesandtv@lemm.ee may find it difficult to remain in opposition to this project.
Existing communities are also very useful. For example:
!languagelearning@lemmy.world
!languagelearning@sopuli.xyz
I mean actionable policy plans absolutely necessitate concrete goals. In this case, missing it seems to be more reflective of massive problems with our modeling than any sort of failure to act. When that goal was set absolutely nobody was seriously considering the possibility we would surpass it in the early 20s.
