Or your federated instances

you just seem so upset at me listing the benefits of a concept as basic as public transport without ever mentioning anything other than “but communism” and “irrelevant other thing should not be publicly funded so neither should this” :'D

Like sorry that it works in most of the western world

So satire, yes?

Analogies usually relate to the topic i guess.

Not a commercial, didn’t know stating facts relevant to the discussion is frowned upon in your circles.

Guess we’re done here, if you don’t like to discuss anything, maybe just don’t reply next time.

Ohhh other apps support that?

It was kind of the mastodon dealbreaker for me. No continuous feed based on tags or topics, hard to find people, and some buggy scrolling

Yum tasty

I have never in my life seen a publicly owned strip club or heard of governmental strip club subsidisations.

Is that a US thing?

A national or international rail network makes long distance travel safer, faster, more affordable, more sustainable and by those factors incredibly more accessible to lower income citizens.

You pay taxes regardless, wouldn’t you want them to go towards something that benefits you and your peers?

Some questions (some are a bit polemic but I kinda wanna find common ground in the end):
Do you drive on roads that you didn’t pave yourself?
Do you maintain them yourself - if not, do you expect them to be generally connecting you to other places?
Do you use the public power grid?
Do you depend on water lines?
Have you ever taken a flight from a city’s main airport?
Have you served, or support the military?

Do you consider any of these being publicly funded “socialism” or “demanding something of your peers”?

In general, the way things work in my home country - the district / city / county / state / federal government have funds to maintain things on their corresponding scale (ascending local to federal) that are deemed either publicly beneficial or even essential.
None of that is socialism, but in our case a “social democracy” i.e. making sure the bare, liveable minimum of life in this society functions through tax money and the federal budget in general.

So to me it looks… weirdly disconnected to call any of these things “thinking you’re owed something from your peers”, just because one of these individual pieces might not be immediately relevant to your day to day routine.

Because its a net benefit for the vast majority of daily use cases.

Why would literally anyone not support that.

And i dont mean nobody can ever drive anything again, its just silly to day “i dont support the extension of public transport”

It was found on a thumb drive inside his signature bass actually

Made a redirect command in Redirector on Chrome, moved Relay off screen and set the Lemmy Chrome “app” where Relay used to be.
Got a slight headstart before the Blackout and Lemmy is already really growing on me
