  • Saint-Pierre and Miquelon is a way better example. Only 19km away from Point May in Newfoundland.

    French Island with ~6000 residents. Full EU member. {Edit: I might have been wrong on full EU member, seems to be kind of a member but kind of not} You can take a ferry there from Canada.

  • Would be interested in knowing what kind of future projects we’re thinking about?

    Other than a potential matrix server, I do not currently have anything in mind. The future is unpredictable.

    An example of a non-profit effort that I took on in the past is COVID PPE 3D printing with volunteer community printers. If something like that was needed for pandemic or disaster relief again would be nice to not have to go through the trouble of spinning up a new non-profit.

    I think we can definitely work with Canadian Open Source Communication Association. Maybe swap out Communication for Community.

    Non-Profit Registration: Name suggestions.

    It's been on the back-burner for a bit but it's time that I get on it and register our operation as a on-profit organization. We will be registering under the BC Societies Act. Completing this registration will allow for opening up a bank account under the organization's name and reopen donations and have the previously donated funds transferred from @[email protected] to the organization.

    To this date since taking over operations of Lemmy.ca I have personally covered the costs and have not been reimbursed to keep accounting as clean as possible. This will continue until registration has been completed.

    First step to this is picking a name to register the Society under. Requirements for the name can be found here.

    While the initial main purpose of the society/organization will be operating

  • It’s not a massive complaint, but I’d hope “m.lemmy.ca” would be reserved for something more OS agnostic.

    Yup. I get what you're saying now. It doesn't fit indeed. And yes m.lemmy.ca will be reserved for something more OS agnostic.

  • Average amount of on the job training a driver gets when hired is probably half a shift. You're expected to know and be able to do it without any additional training.

    I think that's totally wrong and bullshit but that's what's going on out there. Where I work it's 4-6 weeks full time for a driver with experience, 6 weeks to 10 weeks or so usually for a new driver, we've had at least one do 6 months+. We're a definite outlier tho and probably do the most on the job training out of any trucking company in BC.

  • I'll keep that in mind, and I've just had a realization, we can set up all the donation options and just not "cash out" until we're determined non-profit status and how we're going to set up the financial side of it.

  • There will be a huge drop off to drop as part of the transition process to the new admin team we have paused donations at this time.

    We're on the fence if we want to accept further donations before registering as a not-for-profit to avoid any of the funds having to run through my personal bank account.

    What should we do about Lemmit.online

    @[email protected] has been subject to multiple reports from our users over the last while.

    We would like the users' input on how to deal with it. It is the opinion of the administrators that @[email protected], and @lemmit.online doesn't add anything positive and constitutes spam. We especially want to make sure we get feedback as we are more likely to be sensitive to bots like this and other forms of spam compared to most users as we'll often scroll through "All" sorted by new.

    Here are the options.

    Please vote by up voting on one of the comments below. Downvotes will be ignored. Additional comments and discussion is more than welcome. Results of this discussion will provide us guidance on how to deal with other bots in the future as well.

    No Editorializing Article Titles. The original title of the article must be used.

    Edit: This rule seems to be much more nuanced and requires more thought than we had put in, please continue to discuss below.

    It is NOT in effect at this time but highly recommend for regional subreddits at least.

    The above rule has been added to the instance and will be enforced instance wide. This rule is very common within most existing communities where news articles are shared and avoids sensationalizing the story or attempts at steering discussion by the user posting the article.
