Do you believe Lemmy/Mastodon can become mainstream and fully replace their centralized counterparts?

How much horrific awkward teenage shit did Reddit have to go through to get where it is now? Bacon narwhals at midnight, rage comics, bullying an uninvolved brown kid into suicide after the Boston bombings, reluctantly removing CP adjacent subs only after being called out on cable news, the /r/fatpeoplehate nonsense, /r/antiwork mod humiliating xirself on Fox News, the woody harrelson rampart ama, fumbling the bag by firing Victoria, probably 20 more.

I take the express train. I don’t want my one hour commute to be a two hour commute because they stop for five minutes every 8 minutes and have to get back up to speed. I already have to wake up ten minutes earlier to take the light rail, change trains to a local, take that three stops to a hub, and change to the express train. I should just buy a car.

“Forgot something” probably isn’t the edge case scenario you think it is, it’s just a matter of convenience vs necessity to fix it. If I forgot my lunch I’m not going to ride the train into the city then back then back again, but if I forgot the only copy of the keys to the work van well then I have to.

Sure, have contingencies in place, but the real world does not often go as expected.

So here’s the thing with that- doing the exact same thing every day is even worse for me because the memory of doing it every day for the past x days occasionally ends up ticking off the check box in my mind for today as well. Also the way my brain is wired it often ends up counting “remembering to do/bring a thing” as “doing/bringing the thing”. It’s a wild way to live life and it’s a constant patchwork of coping mechanism and cheats and hacks to get things done. AirTags help out a great deal.
