  • I’d recommend joining a new instance.

    The problem is ultimately a consolidated user base. Even if the current admins are expelled, the root cause still exists.

    Reducing the number of users on world reduces the impact of them throwing their weight about the fediverse. Nothing you can do to change the admins mentalities; and theyve routinely avoided letting their own userbase know let alone have input, so best option is to vote with your virtual feet, IMHO.


  • There’s a beefeater (UK pub/restaurant chain) in my town that recently made their car park pay and display. Their customers have resorted to parking on the grass verges and pavements leading up to the building, causing safety issues (blocking views of turning onto a 50 road, covering pavement and forcing pedestrians into the road; that sort of thing).

    I’m sure if the local council started charging them for the damage caused to the green, or even the damage caused by accidents due to their customers choice of parking, the car parking fee would quickly disappear.

    Tbh, I’m surprised it hasn’t already. Their car park is always empty now, so it’s not generating revenue, and they used to have double the amount of cars you see round there now… so my guess is people fucked off somewhere else, and this attempt at squeezing just resulted in a permanent loss of regular revenue

    For a good ten minutes, I was trying to work out how someone would use such a small box to change out of. “does it fold out into some silly cardboard variation of a Victorian privacy screen…” etc… thoughts until I finally re-read it.

    Damn skim reading got me assuming again.
