“Reinventing “ the wheel should really come when you understand the wheel and it’s pros/cons and the problem your facing can’t quite be solved with the current tools.

If you can’t come up with good reasons on why something should be different, then you’re just looking to waste time and effort to say you’re different.

I think this lines up with the primary schedule so that should make this an interesting affair.

Since you didn’t quite get an answer, an “instance” is like a “website” kind of. Just like you’d go to Reddit and have access to all of the subreddits on their servers, an instance is a one version of Reddit. There are multiple “Reddits” like lemmy.world, lemm.ee, feddit.de, etc that all have their own “subreddits”. They all interact with each other though so you can see every community on every instance as long as they’re still linked.

Cars aren’t freedom though. You can only go to places where there are roads/streets and you’re entirely dependent on energy logistics to provide you transportation. You’re entirely subject to a delayed schedule through traffic (accidents/congestion).

If you also bring your car to a public parking area, you can subject yourself to potential theft.

Of course living in a city where space is at a premium you’re going to be limited in living space but there’s nothing stopping us from Building out public transportation and alternative methods of transportation out in to suburbs.

I wonder if this is an artifact of the Republican budget. I can easily see a line item like this missed by Democrats but a key part of vaccine skeptics like republicans.

Yea, but that is how most large organizations fail. Just by sheer inertia they continue to exist. Digg failed because of Digg, not because of Reddit.

Sales tax is also a punitive tax for “buying things” which is the whole point of the economy.

There’s a good case for taxes influencing behavior, but our focus should be on land value over all taxes.

Same here, there’s a couple that I go back to browse because the community is still there but I’m mostly here now.

That would assume half of these modifications could be intended for combat effectiveness. They’re throwing anything and everything at the wall.
