Move Fast and Break Chesterton's Fence

The NSW Premier Chris Minns is right now trying to force the Newcastle city council to permanently ban any climate protests by Rising Tide (and a very open-ended list of related groups).

Every australian has the right to protest, and climate change is the biggest threat facing the gone and the region, which will be particularly affected by sea level rise, flooding, fires, storms, and the impacts of a poorly managed transition to a clean economy.

The change from a a star to a heart for mastodon likes is minor and cosmetic and mostly meaningless. But it also feels like pointless homogenisation and makes the site feel more generic. At a time when the rest of the generic web is falling apart, that feels bad.

I want my star back.
