What a depressing story

100%, not denying that

We got USB C 14>15, that’s an upgrade on its own tbh

I listen to the playlists Apple Music makes me each week. Discovered tons of stuff

Smart Monitor is the same as a Smart TV, not surprised

I never pay attention to, or care about where a community is hosted

People like that are gonna cause accidents anyways.

Studies have shown that accidents are more likely to be severe/fatal on wide, straight roads.

I agree, but I’m pointing out that they do indeed help if implemented correctly

Traffic Cameras can and do reduce speeding if implemented properly

Narrowing roads and making them less straight also lowers speeding

Where are you getting this 5% number?

Unpopular opinion, I agree.

Sorry but this is wildly oversimplified. I walk and take an e-scooter almost exclusively and couldn’t possibly hope to gather all the information about my city happenings.

Proposed plans by my councillors are often not posted on posters or billboard on my street, and the ones that are may not give me sufficient detail.

And aside from politics, cafe’s a 60min+ walk away are never going to be advertising their events on my street lol.

Also yes of course far more people should go to council meeting in-person, but often work or other responsibilities can get in the way.

You realize you’re shaming people on Lemmy, the people who clearly already support a more privacy centric and less profit-driven approach to social media.

We don’t live in a Utopia where all 7 billion people have already followed suit, and shaming won’t help. Providing a welcoming community will.

lol what a silly statement.

I like being up to date on what my city councillors are doing, events my local cafes host, local art exhibits, etc. Things that have tangible benefits to my community.

If you can convince them all to share that content on Mastodon be my guest :)

Reddit has communities without active alternatives here 🤷
