I love the rain and cloudiness! It's peaceful (flash flooding aside, that can suck depending on where you live)

It depends really. If I lived somewhere where natural disasters were a common occurrence then I probably would. Luckily I live in the UK which, while not great in other ways, has a temperate climate. That said, if the south gets too much warmer then I am tempted to move to Scotland. I don't cope well in temperatures above 19 Celsius. It would be one of several reasons though, not the overriding factor.

We have social housing in the UK which is rent capped and it gives people an element of stability. It can work well

As far as I'm concerned I'm not a grown up until I have a washing machine and dishwasher of my own.

This is why I'm flying to Edinburgh soon rather than taking the train (like I would prefer to). So much cheaper

That seems so unnecessary. Why do they want to interfere with screen density??

What a nice seal of approval

Yeah this is definitely a risk if this platform keeps growing. I can definitely see this being a reason to switch off downvotes (some instances have already)

Not sure if you've seen the various Reddit cross posting bots but the threads they post aren't very active. I think people see that it's a bot and switch off.

By the nature of the community though there will obviously be questions on here that have been asked on other platforms. I think it's mainly about trying to keep this place active and let it develop its own vibe (for lack of a better word)

Just to say that I didn't edit anything to sensationalise it, the headline is the title.

As a member of Beehaw I haven't seen any reason not to trust them so far. They've been transparent about why it was done and they've spoken with other instance admins.

Think we have to be conscious that this is all still at an early stage and generally it's wise to give people the benefit of the doubt at first. I get the cynicism but this isn't a privatised space- people across lemmy have been constructive and open so far, so maybe give them a chance?

Yeah I would agree with this. It's good to know for anyone new coming in but should be taken in good faith unless and until a reason crops up to change that. Not seen anything like that so far.
