Hey what’s up everyone. I’m one of the Reddit refugees that purged their accounts and searched the Fediverse for a new home. Happy to be here! AMA about Vancouver, the tech industry, my dog, or taking long walks outside :)

    Modern social media: Feed algorithm bots curating and serving up bot-created content for other bots to create fake engagement on so that advertising bots can find the real humans that still exist in the desolate wastelands and market them bot-created ads.













  • All bars, all the time.

    Personally I don’t see any benefits for the loops, and a couple major drawbacks IMHO:

    • Loops are less stable and require more physical force exerted by the user in order to gain a minimal amount of stability by pulling the loop taught.
    • Loops feel dirtier and far harder to clean. Of course given that it’s public transit it’s not going to be fully sanitized or anything, but I feel like users can more easily take steps to protect themselves using bars (wiping the bar quickly before grabbing it, or shielding themselves by holding it through a piece of clothing).
