Upvoted for visibility! 🤪

Why oh why do I not pick up a book at bedtime instead of my phone.

Ha, me too, I figured it was just chugging or something.

That’s my biggest concern, too. People are fuckin’ weird and you never know what will set them off. Some people just can’t stand any sort of disagreement or pushback and might want to retaliate. I really think the source should remain invisible to other users.

Thanks for the reminder! I signed up at sdf.org because I saw that r/bbs had moved over. As soon as I saw SDF’s website, which hasn’t had its look updated since the mid 90’s by my eye, I knew it was the one for me. I can tell they’ve been struggling a bit under the load but I appreciate so much that they’re hosting an instance and I have confidence they’ll get it all running smoothly. They’re a non-profit and I’ll be donating as soon as I’m able.

I do worry, though, that as the fediverse grows many of the instances won’t be able to scale up and will drop out. I’m not an admin or sysop and know nothing of how this works on the back end, so hopefully those fears are groundless.

Hopefully someone will come along and answer. Thanks. :)

Any tips for a sighted person on what makes for a good and useful description?

Okay, now THAT is fucking hilarious and if true, I’m living for it.

I just quit (and so did my partner) PoGo a couple of months ago when they killed remote raids. They’d been removing the changes they made during Covid that really improved the game for rural and homebound players, and the remote raid changes were the last straw for me (doubling the price to $2 a raid… wtf?). We played at launch for a few months and came back in 2018 and were daily, paying players with a weekly remote raid group. Never missed a community day, both own Gotchas, both level 42+, but we deleted the app and haven’t been back.

So I wish them all the best with their renewed focus on PoGo, but we won’t be back.

Seconding the Calibre recommendation!
