I've heard about Reddit removing a mod from a popular subreddit, then turning the subreddit public (sorry, don't have the reference). They can always stop the blackout by force. But once they do that, those mods will have definite incentive to start the communities in the fediverse.

I'm a retired science teacher and union president. I've had a history of depression. I like science fiction.

My favorite long game (as in over a couple of hours) is Merchant of Venus. For shorter games I like Azul, Splendor, 7 Wonders Duel, That's Pretty Clever, Lost Cities R&W, Star Realms, and more.

Hi neamhsplach,

I've been here 5 days or so, but been busy.. Been away for a few days travelling, currently in Coimbra, Portugal. Anyway, I haven't been doing much union stuff since I retired, but have been boosting union content on Mastodon. I've also been writing up stuff to help explain the fediverse and the reddit stuff.

Hi SanityFM,

I've been here 5 days or so, but been busy.. Been away for a few days travelling, currently in Coimbra, Portugal. Anyway, I just finished reading Dune for the nth time, because I want it fresh in my mind when the second half of the movie comes out. I've also been writing up stuff to help explain the fediverse and the reddit stuff.

Thanks mananevergone,

Anything in particular you want to chat about? Right now I'm traveling to Coimbra Portugal. It's very pretty, but also with very steep hills, which my aging feet and knees don't like.
