Idk, seems like this is quite a pivotal time with an influx of users. Be a shame to have the potential growth in community go to waste.

So is Facebook and Twitter. This meme is premature in triplicate.

Time you've spent enjoying yourself is absolutely not time wasted.

I know what you mean, but keep in mind that you're comparing yourself to everyone that made it. There's over 6 billion people on earth, and you compare yourself to, what, 5 people? 10? 15?

Nobody here wants everything with rubber wheels banned. We just want cars to be a form of personal transport to be the lowest prioritized compared to other forms like buses, trains, etc.

And nothing of value was lost

Broken clock, etc

Layout is still being tweaked and you want the UI to be as easy to manage as possible for people doing the AMA (new reddit is likely a factor in more recent AMAs not being as good)

It's a bit of a chicken and egg situation regarding amount of people. More people will bring in more AMAs because it is largely a publicity thing. A low userbase means people may not want to do an AMA, or choose to do an AMA on a larger platform. But having AMAs brings people in. It's hard to get the ball rolling.

Maybe we can ask Spez to do an AMA on Lemmy?

Yeah, he has the right, sure. Nobody says he doesn't, nobody says he shouldn't. But right now it's in the media. It's stupid. Now there's more attention drawn to this, and if they lose (though Elon's musk will likely try to bleed them dry rather than try to straight up win) it's now not just a claim, it's a claim backed up by law. He has very little to gain with this stunt.

Ok thanks for sharing I guess? The shirt will apply to you as well.

I personally find Ur-Fascism by Umberto Eco a good read. Fascism is really hard to pin down because it's quite a wide category due to the different tendencies in history.

And I get to do what I want with my property. I don't want ads on my screen, so I block them.

You want to enter a bidding war with one of the biggest global industries? Nations literally go to war for fossil fuels.

This is what I thought about chicken and waffles, till I had chicken and waffles.

You're the one siding with them, nobody told you to hate climate activist but them.

Is it hippie shit to want a pleasant community and easy way to get around?

You think worms are insects?

While I agree with your distaste, I hope you remain wary. Their incompetence seems to have the outcome of enriching them and their sponsors. Can you still attribute incompetence when they are benefitting?

Regarding dictatorship, the conservatives right now are setting up a lot of things like anti-protest laws that seem toothless because they haven't been used to the fullest extent, but the groundwork is there. It won't take long (likely one election cycle) and I'm sure we'll see them use it in the fullest extent.

Car centric infrastructure benefits nobody but car manufacturers and it's killing communities, climate and us.

It doesn't benefit those with cars as much as it forces you to get a car to benefit. Cities that don't focus as much on car centric infrastructure are more pleasant to drive through.

You're conflating cars with transportation in general. When I say car infrastructure, I don't mean close every road off so nobody gets in or out. Nobody does.

Look at cities where they prioritize the pedestrian and public transport. They're so much better to live in and get around.

Once RIF stops working I won't be able to, so really that'll be the big moment.
