Sounds great! We don’t celebrate our national day to that extent (which I’m fine with personally), we don’t get the day off or fireworks.

We have fireworks and get togethers for Bonfire night on November 5th, but it’s not a day off. We have bank holidays spread throughout the year but they’re tied loosely to the church

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.

That was just a typo. Beehaw has advertised itself as being a largely positive, safe online space. People who sign up for it would generally be considered to want that same ethos.

It’s not ideal at the moment but until the moderation tools improve it’s the best way forward if they want to stick to their ethos. I enjoy Beehaw and the admin do seem like they want to refererate when it’s possible to.

I’m on both Beehaw and Lemmy.world so I between the two I can interact with everything I would want to see.

Happy Canada Day!

Brit here (sorry about, well, everything)- how do you guys celebrate?

Whatever you get up to, hope you enjoy 🎉

I’m not a prude but I genuinely had no idea it was that big a thing on Reddit. I thought it all generally disappeared a few years ago. Just shows how huge a site it was I guess

It’s that new colony optimism

I know you can use glass jars but they’re something I would have to get anyway and ideally I would want something portable so I can take it to work.

As others have said, pod machines aren’t great for the environment. If you do get one, make sure you know how to recycle them because the sheer volume you will throw away is ridiculous.

That said, pod coffee has its place if you want efficiency. I use my Dolce Gusto on the weekend when I can’t be bothered to go to the effort of using my aeropress. The quality is lower but as long as you go into it expecting that it won’t be the best thing ever you’ll be fine.

I have my aeropress during the week to make my work days a bit better.

Vbulletin boards and general forum sites before the likes of Facebook and Reddit got big. Made a lot of friends on there.

Neopets was great as well. Loved the minigames.
