• For real. If I get hit. It better be infrastructure. Gonna go after those rich public coffers not a broke ass Nissan driver.

                Then keep using what you enjoy! 😁

                Fair warning that I’ve heard people say that Lemmy 1.0 will break compatibility with old apps. I don’t use 3rd party apps but wanted to offer you that heads-up so you won’t be taken entirely by surprise if it happens.

                Your instance also looks increasingly likely to defederate from Lemmy.world too, which even though it now has “only” 50% of all the active people present on the Threadiverse (compared to the 80% that it used to have), nonetheless it also still has sth like 90% of the most popular communities. Your instance would also thereby block the top posters too, like ThePicardManeuver and Sunshine’s PieFed accounts. Even if you aren’t into all the political leftist in-fighting drama, you nonetheless will be affected by it when Lemmy starts looking a lot more empty after that. So you may want to start looking into making an alt, for multiple reasons.

                And if you need a recommendation as a place to start, I suggest checking out slrpnk.net. You would still be able to access all the same communities from there, since it’s neutral territory. Please note I have no pony in this race - obviously feel entirely free to ignore, I just offered this as a thought to consider:-).

    • But if you’re anti-car infrastructure, then you don’t want to get hit by those alternatives, because the anti-mass-transit crowd might use it to villify mass transit.

      If you get hit by a car then you can become an anti-car martyr for the cause

      I definitely do… maybe it’s because we don’t have busses, trams, or trains here where I live. Just cars and oversized trucks.

  • I once had a woman bicycle into me on a somewhat narrow path, I thought she saw me and was turning but she didn’t and ran right into me at a running pace.

    I instinctively put out my arms to stop her, grabbed her shoulders and then realized she might fall over if I just did a brief push to stop her so I kind of lightly held her in place for a second until she stabilized herself.

    It was the most harmless yet awkward accident I have ever been in.
