Big read, but gives a good perspective.
I think theres three big stories of this coming election.
- The rebalancing of metro v regional votes.
- Liberals progress clawing back traditional Liberal seats could indicate how satisfied West Australians are with WA Labor.
- Independent Challengers in western suburbs could indicate dissatisfaction with both majors for different and complicated reasons.
I think I see what @Steve@aus.social is saying. If I search up #perth from Mastodon, I get this:
Each link goes to Aussie.zone instead of the end news sites. If we didn’t appreciate federation, it’d look like a bunch of blog posts all to some random site being posted to /c/Perth.
I agree that it’s a Mastodon issue: the destination url is a part of the post. They could link to there instead of the Lemmy instance.
