With the first year of this community coming to a close I've gathered some of our top posts throughout the year. Here's the top 10 posts:

  1. YouTube Premium family plan price update ($17.99/month -> $32.99/month!) (by @trk@aussie.zone)
  2. The lack of ads! (by @Gbagginsthe3rd@aussie.zone)
  3. Can we stop buying these stupid things? Thanks (by @R00bot@lemmy.blahaj.zone
  4. Streaming costs are rising, and there are more platforms than ever to choose between. Some people are going back to piracy (by @unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone)
  5. ABC shuts down official Twitter accounts due to 'toxic interactions' (by @unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone)
  6. The absolute state of housing in Australia at the minute - rent a caravan in a driveway in a semi-rural locality, only $200/week! (by @trk@aussie.zone)
  7. We won’t fix inflation while economists stay in denial about its causes (by @Zagorath@aussie.zone)
  8. Gas lobby launches new scare campaign on electrification, saying it will break the grid (by @vividspecter@lemm.ee)
  9. Australia will not force adult websites to bring in age verification due to privacy and security concerns (by @Mountaineer@aussie.zone)
  10. Australia to prescribe MDMA and psilocybin for PTSD and depression in world first (by @Treevan@aussie.zone)

The Top 10 is really only indicative of what people on other instances (mostly non-Australian) liked, what were your favourite posts this year? What would you like to see more of? And What would you like to see less of?

This year we also had the Voice to Parliament Referendum which lead to the creation of a Megathread and an annoying message from @dalekerrigan@aussie.zone reminding us to use it. What did you think about how the community was run this year? What would you like us to do differently next year?

Thanks for the wonderful year everyone, and I look forward to seeing you all in the years to come. Also a big thanks to the Aussie Zone admins for making this all possible. But most of all, thank you to everyone who posted, commented, upvoted and downvoted for being the life of this community
