I think the lack of sense of community occurring from both the increased size of the group and how long it’s been around lead to folks taking it for granted as a resource rather than a personal space they’re invested and involved in.

I think the same thing happened to Reddit overall - it reached a mass of size and establishment whereby the owners/admins were disconnected to the personal, special aspect of it and took it and the people for granted.

Great post and I agree. Just roll with the inevitable cycle, keep contributing and just enjoy what is there for what it is in its time.

Cool cool, yeah I dig it. Cycling can dip into geeking out on gear, which can be alright, but leads to consumerism, which can lead to snobbery. I think most bike snobs are well intentioned though, or are rather harmless in any case.

I definitely went down the rabbit hole when putting my bike together (and bikepacking requires a whole extra gear round) and was super focused on performance for a while, but these days just cruise. Lots of phases in one’s cycling journey!

Nice! What was xbiking about? I thought I had been subbed to all the cycling subreddits but had missed that one. My jam these days is bikepacking, I love the combo of biking far and camping. Glad you made this community!

Same, looking for those, will try to make some too

Given their recent posture and actions, I would think yes it could be an issue for you, for sure. You’d want to check their terms of service as it may violate them. If you’re doing this for fun, add a step in the middle and get ChatGPT to rephrase every post to obfuscate their source :-)

Great ideas, sounds ideal to me

Darn, my schadenfreude was just getting warmed up…

Aye, I wonder if cavemen cared what some minority in the tribe might be doing or just shrugged their shoulders about it. Is it human nature to find it hard to accept? Oh weren’t the Romans ok with it, that was a while ago.

How soon until we can just forget about Reddit entirely? I’m already ready.

I hate tech like this, this capability is terrible. I have a lot of staff working remotely and would never dream of requiring this kind of access. The maximum for me is like Upwork tracking such is randomly screenshot of screen while someone is logging paid hours. And even then I disable that pretty soon after establishing trust with someone.

I can’t wait for the day when this jackass isn’t the main news story all the time, even if it’s about him getting his due.

That’s a great resource thank you

I didn’t know about simplelogin.io, will be checking this out, thank you!

Most of Asia enters the chat with abysmal LGBTQ+ rights.

Great tip to thank you! Will be doing that post haste :-)

Hot damn that’s insane, shit is really going down. All a darned shame really, I guess nothing lasts forever and thank goodness for this option of Lemmy! Apollo is the app I used, it’s great and I love it. Hope Christian can make something for Lemmy, that would be awesome.

That’s a great resource thank you! I hope the instance my team and I setting up now (lemmy dot asia) will make the list and be a nicely contributing instance.

I’m setting up my own instance now to contribute, and I think a lot of people might be willing to do so or similar. I pay for Internet search feature now at Kagi, and similarly I’m willing to pay for my social media (Reddit or Lemmy are the closest things to social media I use) to keep it stable and with less ads and data collection. I hope there are enough people like me that would rather pay a little than have all their data mined in nefarious ways.

Skeptical of China and India getting along well enough to collaborate on a real currency.
