It was fun, that can’t be denied. I went a few times, out of town guests liked it, and there was always a line outside. This is a bad thing, a Starbucks is better for the neighborhood than a boarded up building.
Little bit of everything!

Probably just autocorrect
Preacher is always there. I assume that’s who they’re going after with “powered PA” system talk. Personally I like the drummers, they amp up the excitement, you can feel the energy going in. Preacher guy is annoying AF.
I’ll support them, but only because it’ll finally force conservative morons to shut up about people riding it for free. I’d love for it to be free too, but goddamn they just spout how “Stupid” we all are for letting people walk on.
Granted, I also think the whole fare-enforcement thing is a waste too. We are paying people salaries to go around and issue tickets when this has already been solved with fare gates. For jumpers, we already have security at all of the stations. Most other metros already have fare-gates.
Yep, we have 3 of them now in Washington State, 2 of which are here in Seattle. Essentially giant pontoons tethered to the lake bed. Check out this video if you want to know more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lsxf0OnNwc
Was just gonna say, we have someone running who is actually pushing transit. This guy had years to cut red tape, it was only when he was threatened that he said he was going to do anything. Not he says “going to”, not did.
Wonderful idea, subscribed! I’ll try to help you see it as I come across stuff
Honestly didn’t know about it, and I sub to several of slrpnk’s communities. I think we’ll just plug forward, see how it goes. This community actually existed, just abandonded, and looking at theirs it looks moderately active. We’ll see how it goes, no winning or losing, just trying it out.
Good call. While urbanism is inherently political - political moves like that are not what urbanism is about. I’ll think of a good way to word that into a rule. That would fit more into a politics community
Thanks!
Sorry op, people brigade here pretty quick against crypto and AI.
Not bad, it’s growing on me. I like how obvious the express trains are
Define famous. Taylor Swift would be on here. Ashton Kutcher is right for Iowa because that’s all they could talk about there
Oh yeah you’re right, my fault for skimming.
A great thing for lemmy would be 301 support for the UI. Having some way to say “This community is dead, but come join us over here at X community!” It would help our ghost community problem quite a bit.
That’s too bad. Are any of the users willing to step up and run it themselves?
That’s only the first and easiest step, you’ll probably be the only one posting to most of them for a good while the community starts up. That can be months, years even. Only now do I think my little communities are starting to gain traction, and thats after years of work and posting regularly by myself.
I’m not trying to discourage you, but make sure you’re posting… a lot
Be careful with this approach. It’s great you’re excited, but I was in that boat. When the reddit exodus started everyone made a community for every niche, but then there was not enough to keep them going. So communities petered out one by one
I’ve found it’s better to focus your efforts on a couple of communities and get them going vs spreading out.
Yeah, if it was just age verification there are third party services that do it in a secure way, and I’ve always said we could implement things like you verify with your browser that you’re over 18, and at the protocol level it would the allow or deny
Of course age verification isn’t the actual goal, so none of those privacy respecting approaches are ever considered in most places. Download what you can now, I’m guessing this is coming for the nation
Kind of. “Places that an adult in their own home has to register with the state to see porn, so pornhub disables the state”
They try to regulate porn by mandating a user show their id to the provider, and they totally won’t abuse that list of users at all they pinky swear
Hi, yes, Bruce, you keep saying you’re for the people, but we have seen increased police, AI cameras from the police placed everywhere, token transit improvements, and overall car-centric ideas. Also more businesses have closed under your leadership downtown. Why in the everloving hell should we keep you in?
