Lemmy or Jeroba just ate my comment so let me try again.

I didn’t initially want to join here, but the instance I did want to join (which is defederated with Lemmygrad, Burggit, and Exploding Heads and I think that’s a fantastic defed list) is having significant growing pains at the moment, while shit just works here. I ran across my first Exploding Heads post in All and it was gross, and it seems like the tools available to me as a user will leave me playing whack a mole to get rid of all of it which I’m not looking forward to. Right now I’m planning on moving to that other instance in a few weeks once they get everything sorted out, but if Burggit and Exploding Heads are defederated here and the issues with Beehaw are sorted out (which I’m optimistic that they will be), I’m open to staying here, it’s certainly the easiest option for me given the lack of account migration options, and the perks of being in a larger instance (the community search feature in Jeroba has worked well for me and I think it’s due to the large user base here). I’m extremely impressed with how The Dude is handling the scaling issues and his communication with Beehaw right now, also I generally like Canadians and green energy, lol.

Apparently you used to be able to give mod status to any random redditor without them having to accept it, so even if he was made mod it doesn’t actually mean much. Fuck Spez though.

We’re allowed to say that fash should kill themselves? I like it here.

Sh.it is turning into a Nazi bar. The alt right trolls saw a weakness and they’re now brigading the hell out of this instance. The Dude seems to be trying to fence sit on extremely vitriolic transphobia and refusing to listen to the trans folks who are trying to warn everyone that nothing good comes from engaging with a certain level of asshole. The only productive way forward at this point is to defederate exploding heads but at this point I don’t think it’s going to happen so I’m just going to grab some popcorn and watch as his great Democratic experiment meets the reality of discourse on the Internet.

Unfortunately it seems like they don’t carry kilts anymore. They do have a purple down jacket that I’m seriously tempted by but I just don’t need a new one this year.

Arguably this is the best suggestion here because a good kilt is probably going to be fairly heavy and if I’ve got bike shorts under them for modesty (I’m going to be climbing ladders in the back room, it’s relatively quiet back there and odds are low I’d flash someone but the chance is there) that’s yet another layer. I’ll buy a pair to try out and they should be okay if my managers aren’t actually alright with my malicious compliance, lol.

This is the article that the linked article is about. I’m 99% sure Europeans aren’t going to be able to access that link without a VPN because a lot of the local news sites refuse to comply with EU laws .

Oh, I know the tunnels one! He used tunnels to kill public transit projects. Unfortunately I am a public transit fan.

Wasn’t that extremely early in his career? That’s a young and foolish man finding out what he doesn’t want to do for a YouTube channel.

They have a habit of doxing trans people for simply existing on the Internet. Also they’ve been responsible for several people being swatted. They were so awful that Cloudflare finally stopped having anything to do with them. Things have to be really bad for Cloudflare to nope out, it’s a short list also containing the Daily Stormer and 8chan.
