I was up for this a number of months ago. I'm now on the same page as you!
With the efforts I'm doing to try and de-google / de-big US tech this needs to be my next move.
Trying to convince my better half to do it on his laptop is a pain. I'm under if you degoogle my chromebook now or once it loses support.
Wish I'd held off, or this happened sooner. But can't complain, let's get more onboard! 🎉🎉🎈
I'm gay and have been Christian (Anglican, CofE specifically) for about 7 years now
I'm definitely questioning joining the Quakers though.
I'm happy with having a faith if only I can also have science. Over time I went from being atheist (teens) agnostic (latter teens - mid twenties) now Anglican and Quaker curious.
I think I'll join the platform that the lettuce launches, it'll likely last longer
I definitely use them both together more often than just one. Like you, to express indifference to a choice.
I don't tend to do that with neither though 🤔 and now I'm thinking too hard, I don't know which I tend to go with.
Over these recent months the I think it's quite clear where we should be focusing our efforts. I can only hope we build a much stronger relationship with the EU.
Do I personally want us to rejoin, definitely!
Do I think we will? Not any time soon.
I certainly think having a relationship like the Swiss or Norway should be a good starting point.

I'm just not sure what to upload. I seldomly uploaded photos on Facebook, before I came off it, and that's with friends and family. Does Joe public want to see what I've been doing?
Maybe I'm not the right audience for pixelfed
I've been using Qwant for about a month now on Vivaldi. I'm happy and see no reason to go back to Google full time. What I do miss from Google though is things like showing business opening times when searching
Where can I read more about this? I'm not getting far with the link 🫤
Pixelfed is the one I need to learn to use, I never did Instagram so never know what images to post, or who I'm bothered about following erc.
I'm hoping Lemmy grows more so that the niche communities (that were still relatively active on reddit, even for their neichness) can start to have regular threads going.
What I'd also like to see is posts that I can spend 5-10 minutes in because they have more comments than the ~5 we have now.
I'd not considered that and wonder how much of a limiting factor it was. It certainly seems to have done well for the land in terms of biomass, but as for species diversity who knows?
I just hope this can be policed and makes a big difference.
Many of the world’s largest shipping nations decided on Friday to impose a minimum fee of $100 for every ton of greenhouse gases emitted by ships above certain thresholds, in what is effectively the first global tax on greenhouse gas emissions. The International Maritime Organization estimates $11 b...
Ahh that makes sense.
Thank you 😀
I'm certainly enjoying Lemmy so far and think I'm getting to grips with it
As someone who proudly wore the Red Cross for many years as a volunteer I felt proud to be part of a global movement of Red Cross, Red Cresent & Red Crystal National Societies. Knowing that international law and the Geneva Conventions mean little to nothing to 'civilized' nations saddens me immensely.
I'm only a month in to Lemmy, can you explain this bit for me?
subscribing to communities on other servers will drag the content over here.
Like OP I joined feddit.UK as a Brit it seemed the most fitting.
I tent to just view my subbed list and only sporadically come on to local to see what's happening on the instance.
I definitely get the Reddit vibe on my subbed feed.
Are you saying above that what I sub to that is in other instances comes here somehow?
Sorry for being a bit thick
Seeing as my labour MP is still not replying I've also emailed Ed Davey. I know that Parliamentary procedures means he can only respond to his constituents I wanted him to know I support their pushing of the agenda and to keep it up.
Feels like the LDs are the only ones willing to
A juice company dumped orange peels in a national park. This is what it looks like today
12,000 tons of food waste and 28 years later, this forest looks totally different.
cross-posted from: https://slrpnk.net/post/20549992
...one thousand trucks poured into the national park, offloading over 12,000 metric tons of sticky, mealy, orange compost onto the worn-out plot. The site was left untouched and largely unexamined for over a decade. A sign was placed to ensure future researchers could locate and study it.
16 years later, Janzen dispatched graduate student Timothy Treuer to look for the site where the food waste was dumped.
Treuer initially set out to locate the large placard that marked the plot — and failed.
First Tattoo, thought I'd bitten off more than I could chew, end result... Love it
Wanted to get this tattoo for a little while, love the personal and classic symbolism of crows.
Parts of the outlining hurt more than I was expecting. Some of the shading hurt like a removed!
I'd not researched much and now I am I see just how much some some people say the chest hurts! I agree with them.
The artist was great and reassuring, Took her around 2 hours and can't wait to see it once the second skin comes off and it's all healed.
