I think if you want a quick way to stop wasting water on grass, it's a reasonable choice. Personally I think patio stones or pebbles/gravel is classier, but probably more expensive and time consuming to put in.

In response to the snottiness about clover and other groundcover, I'll mention that is illegal in some places to do this. https://www.msn.com/en-us/home-and-garden/landscaping/can-you-be-fined-for-having-an-overgrown-lawn/ar-BB1reOrr The presence of "weeds" can get you fined! I have friends who lives in a totally normal, non-HOA, working class area where you must have grass. To be fair I'm not sure if plastic grass would cut it but if that's the only alternative, plastic would be better. It takes crazy water to maintain the grass, not to mention re-sodding every few years and everyone ends up with their own mower.

Stupid law or none, not everyone has the time or wherewithall to be a nerd gardener. Until we have funded landscaping coops able to go around and maintain properties of those who have other priorities there is no reason to cast aspersions just because it doesn't meet with your aesthetic tastes. There's plastic all over the ground; one lawn isn't going to make matters much worse.

Imagine attending class somewhere where the orange and blue on white branding was so pervasive. Those kids are fucked.

The thread of confidence unites them.

I'd say not always but you should interpret it in context for the situation.

Having no demands is a criticism against many loose oppositional groups. In some ways its hard to see how they would have "a demand" because they aren't an organization. They are a transient mass unified by sentiment.

Its not impossible to have such an even on the road to a productive outcome. But in this case I'm very skeptical.

I didn't follow all the details in the middle of the post. Its over me head.

But if pixelfed did this presumably by accident, wouldn't it be easy enough to create an intentionally malicious fediverse server for the purpose of bypassing privacy measures?

Shouldn't the instances offering the privacy to its own users be the place where the privacy happens? Instead of relying on other hosts to behave well.
