Boycott In-N-Out.

We have very elderly mothers, and sisters with cancer, so my family still masks. I smile at people all the time, they smile back, everyone goes away feeling good. I don't understand how some people get so worked up over masks. 🤦‍♀️

Niantic lays off staff and shuts down games as it focuses on Pokémon Go

I just quit (and so did my partner) PoGo a couple of months ago when they killed remote raids. They'd been removing the changes they made during Covid that really improved the game for rural and homebound players, and the remote raid changes were the last straw for me (doubling the price to $2 a raid... wtf?). We played at launch for a few months and came back in 2018 and were daily, paying players with a weekly remote raid group. Never missed a community day, both own Gotchas, both level 42+, but we deleted the app and haven't been back.

So I wish them all the best with their renewed focus on PoGo, but we won't be back.

Lemmy bean posting could be a reddit counterattack to get people to return to reddit.

Me either, so I started a community for a subject I'm interested in and follow on reddit and I'm populating it with new content as the news comes in so new people can catch up. Be the change you want to see. Interact with that content and post more of it. Don't just complain that it's not being fed to you.

ETA: I might add that I have no intention whatsoever of moderating that community in the long term. If/when Lemmy grows, if that community picks up, I'll be looking for someone to take it over.
