How is this a controversial take? If you need a wall to keep people in or attempting to emigrate makes you a “defector”, or you’ve built up a huge surveillance network where your neighbours or even partners can report you for bullshit “crimes” , you’re an authoritarian state.
We don’t do that here (UK), there’s no order in which people are served their food. It doesn’t really matter, as it’s “polite” here to only start once everyone has got their food.
For me it’s 148.
This comment thread is making me feel old!
I never bother clicking the piped bot links, and I’m not a fan of the tldr bot either as I think there’s activity on a post but it turns out it’s just the bot.
I still use Reddit, maybe more in recent times actually. I don’t like the platform and the app is a massive pile of wank, but there’s more “normal” people there who don’t spend every waking moment hating America or going on about Linux. I still use Lemmy nearly every day but it’s more morbid curiosity now.
Imagine miraculously surviving the plane crash only to get twatted by a crate full of dildos from the cargo vehicle.
I don’t think the average person cares about the FOSS principles that the instance software was built upon, they probably care that it just works and receives updates. People will come for the content.
It’s a federated platform… it can be whatever the instance hosts want it to be.
I guess this answers OPs question!
I dunno but it bothers me how much plastic wrapping that fucking thing apparently needs.
I cannazi what the problem is?
There’s a street food hall place in Manchester where you can only order via an app and some food businessess force you to pay a “tip” while ordering your food. Can pay 5, 10 or 15%.
Who the fuck do they think is going to willingly pay more than they have to? It’s blatantly a service charge, you don’t give tips before you’ve even ordered your food.
If you reject all on the cookie banner you don’t see ads, although you see a grey box where the ads should be. I can live with that.
I would have paid up to £5 I think for an ad removed version but £20 is way too much.

Reddit had a premium membership?
What’s EVs?
I’m convinced a lot of the fuck car people are people in their 20s with no kids who live in the city where they can heavily rely on good public transport and not have a need to travel too far.
I totally get the sentiment but it’s just not practical for a lot of us. To get people away from cars the local authority would need to practically fill the roads with small extremely regular buses that go all over the place. You’d never wait more than a couple of minutes outside your house for a bus to arrive to go somewhere.
Or what?
