Re: shitposts, it definitely strongly depends on who you follow. My home feed on mastodon is inundated with shitposts (and I like each one)
Just wanted to say that I love the art on the server error page. It is top notch. The bees knees, even.
P.S. good luck with the server stuff!!!
34, here. I'm still a youth!! XD
Eh. I like the internet and the connections it allows us to form. I think internet access for all is a good thing.
I do miss a time when cellphones weren't ubiquitous, though. They have their purpose but there's a certain social expectation to always be available, and I think that is a bad thing. I miss disconnecting. I guess, in principle, I could literally just do that.
I'm liking it. Seems chill. Some growing pains and there's not quite as much here as I was following on the other site, but, maybe that's a good thing and humans aren't actually meant to have a constant information firehose?
I noticed that there's one thread on lemmy.ca, made by an account on lemmy.ml, that I just absolutely cannot reply to. It hangs, and nothing gets posted. I'm able to reply to other threads in the same community.
How exactly are these things structured? Like, could that issue be related to lemmy.ml doing its migration, even if the topic was posted on another instance? It was very weird behavior.
I don't personally do this (don't have the spare cash for a ticket tbh) but it seems like just about every other cyclist already does this. People do it for a reason. Just update the laws to match reality.
