  • I had a small car by American standards (Chevy Volt) and it felt unsafe to drive sometimes. Everyone had massive trucks and SUVS and could barely see me. I had to drive super defensively. I wouldn’t want to get into a crash in one when the other vehicles are like 3x the size and weight.

    I like smaller cars and wish we could see the average size start to drop here, but I think we’re past the point of no return. I recently bought a larger vehicle so I can actually fit my kids in the back and people seem to actually see me.




  • I’ve donated to Lemmy, Beehaw, and Mastodon and came here because Reddit killed Sync. Lemmy is full of gatekeepers and it’s bringing the platform down. Half the posts are whining about reddit and the other half are whining because someone doesn’t adhere to the perfect open source ethos and shun anything not completely free. It’s getting tiring. No wonder Lemmy’s active user count is decreasing.













  • I donated the other day and I’m glad to see the user base here so willing to support the project!

    If we want these places to succeed, we need to be willing to pay for them. It’s the only way to keep things running ad and data collection free.

    I would have been happy paying Reddit to keep 3rd party app access… But they clearly think my data is worth more than a direct monthly fee. So I’ll give them neither and hang out here instead.
