I'd be willing to help out with any of the aspects of hosting this instance (finances, sysadmin, moderation) if you (both Hamid and the instance members) would like. This instance, especially recently, has been the place on lemmy I'm the most comfortable being. If it has to go then so be it, but I'd like to see it keep kicking along in the meantime provided you are ok with it :)
Also, need it be said, but death to amerikkka.
I think she deleted her account after a lot of people got upset from her banwaves. This was after we decided to rescind the lemmy world community and hand it over new moderators, but for some reason she kept her account as a mod and stirred up some drama.
Thanks for the question! I used to walk a bunch when I lived in the country (rural). I really miss bush (wilderness) walks and get frustrated walking where I live seeing just seeing concrete, asphalt, grass I'm allergic to, and noisy metal death boxes around. Legitimately, I nearly get run over every time I go out, it's so frustrating it makes me want to never leave my flat.
Thanks for the questions! It's always good to be prepared and helping others do so is nice. I'm NC with most of my family, so I spend my resources on helping friends, although I should probably do a better job at that. I think there was a discussion thread about this in the !diy@vegantheoryclub.org community a while ago, so feel free to post any advice you have there :)
Thanks for the question! Audio books and puzzles sounds fun. I find that doing either activity alone is not stimulating enough, but haven't thought of tying both at the same time.
I have a fleeting special interest in mechanical keyboards that comes up every few months or so. Really interested in these ergonomic keyboards and the flexibility they provide, especially going the DIY route. Currently using a logitech keyboard with proprietary keyswitches that I intend to replace. In fact, the switches now get too excited and register the keypress sometimes more than once or not even at all. Rather than ordering proprietary switches to fix it, I'm waiting for my keyboard special interest to kick into full gear and get a better keyboard that I can truly enjoy :)
Also bendy/floppy people represent. I can't sleep on one side due to my shoulder cracking and moving more than it should and the pain is starting to creep into keyboard and mouse use if my posture is acting up (it always is lol). Really should invest into an accessible setup before the current one becomes inaccessible and causes me too much pain.
I'm really into progressive rock, neo-psychedelia, new wave, and britpop. I generally like lots of subgenres of rock and switch up things a bit from time to time. Sometimes I like to listen to blues, power metal, and classical when I'm in the mood for it.
The last concert I went to was to see Liam Gallagher in December 2019. It ended halfway through Supersonic and everyone started booing when he just stopped talking and left lol. He was going to cop a large fine if he made any noise past 11pm, but there was no communication about this. Before Liam got on stage there was this Scottish dude, Gerry Cinnamon, who plays the guitar like I've never seen anyone before and I swear he was going to break it mid song lmao. (example of his music: https://youtu.be/S6n7ULbRK20 https://youtu.be/QKzM0DBxNoo)
β vegan btw β arch btw
as it should be :D
Have you eaten them all yet? They look really good!
As with learning health and how to be a GP, I feel like I am forced to go that route as well with the way healthcare is going here in Aus haha. Feels like whenever I get the chance to see a doctor I am dismissed and not taken seriously, or even better yet straight up lied to. Glad things are working out well for you :)
Probably, but I wouldn't count on that for certain. It seems to just be a marketing label more than anything else.
Australia. I've seen things with egg be called "plant-based". There's no regulation for plant-based products (at least, last I checked).
βPlant-based can mean anything that a company wants it to.β
You're not the only one here (Aus) that's been burned by this.
o7 I hope this is the right call π but I trust your judgement (I wanted some community consensus on appointing another admin first). I'll maintain this instance as is for now and will try not to cause too much drama. Also, I think we have admins on either side of the world so that's probably good for dealing with things in a timely manner.
Edit: We probably should announce there is another instance admin now for transparency, just in case people don't check this thread and follow along.
