Man this is seriously awesome! $2 billion in public transit investment is no joke! Keep the money comin

Amazing, now lets just hope serious progress is made to these goals

If you’re looking avoid the craziness what I usually do is wait in line for coffee before jumping in, and then once its clearing out a bit jump. It makes it a lot less crowded and chaotic, also you can go further down not in the center (which is where all the pictures are taken)

Friday morning swim club is awesome! Definitely recommend going, just try and get there early to hear their instructions/announcements at the beginning and grab a close parking spot if you drive

Free coffee as well

Awesome!!! We’ve got ourselves a community now!

Phodega has definitely been on my list for a while. Ill definitely make note of the fried pork dumplings and Ube cookies. Sad to hear about their beef pho though.

Do you mean beelink?

Experiencing it as well

Very well written response. I appreciate it.

It will be interesting to see how much growth will remain thats not just anti-twitter anti-reddit users willing to momentarily move out of spite and will remain here in the long term.

I really hope ActivityPub/WWWC does not get overrun with corporate interests but only time will tell

Replying here instead of your other reply but yeah it definitely is like the paradox of tolerance but I will also add that for most people an open platform is probably not the #1 priority. I think a lot of people just want to be able to access content and/or update their friends and separating off threads wont help that

However who knows what can happen maybe threads will flop, or maybe they will make the fediverse mainstream and we will have the interconnectedness that we all want

At the end of the day though, some servers will block threads and some wont but with enough options everyone can join a server that fits their needs and that really is what the fediverse is about

Spotted cow is #1. Just went to Devil’s lake this weekend and had to grab a 12pk

Personally I think it’s a test to see if the fediverse has the legs to stand on. I dont think we will see an internet in the future that exists without corporation run social media and blocking them before they even launch is against what the fediverse is for

Now if they have rampant content moderation problems and degrade the site then sure block them but I think they should be treated the same as any other fediverse site
