That’s exactly what they’ll say.
Ham radio. It’s a lot of fun and has something for everyone. I like the outdoors, so I took my portable gear to a park and operated Parks on the Air today. There are all kinds of digital modes for people who love computers, there’s morse code, there’s using kites to hoist your antenna, hot air balloons, talking with the space station, etc. All kinds of stuff. If you’re the least bit nerdy, it likely has something for you.
Thank you so much for this well written text!

That’s why I nuked all my posts and edited every one of my comments to point to kbin / lemmy before deleting my account. They may revert my changes, but I at least wanted to try to prevent them from benefiting from me in any way.
Do you mean mlem? That’s the TestFlight app I have.
Wasn’t he a mod of /r/jailbait?
I mean physical mail, lol. You go out to your mailbox and have a handful of crap that you have to throw away.
Yes, at least in the US, we get a ton of ads via mail (post). It’s a huge pain. I use iOS and I don’t think there are any Instagram alternative apps.
It has become that way in the US.
So the backend is coded in Rust? I’ve been learning the language but haven’t actually used it outside of tutorials yet. I’m experienced in C++ and know how to program so I may look into it while I’m unemployed.
My pihole helps quite a bit, but some still sneak in. I had to use a VPN to get a cheap rate for Youtube premium which helps a ton. Instagram ads and mail ads are unavoidable still.
I am so sick of ads being everywhere. It’s such a mental load.
Just know you might have to run it 5-6 times to get all your comments. I found the first time I ran it, it edited maybe 1/5 of my comments. I overwrote my comments with this:
EDIT: Moved to kbin, the federated Reddit alternative.
Chooose an instance here: https://join-lemmy.org/instances.
I recommend Kbin.social, as the UI is nice and it reminds me of old.reddit.com
See you there!
I deleted my 11 year old reddit account just an hour ago. I first overwrote all comments with one promoting lemmy with instructions on how to choose an instance.
It felt good, right? I nuked mine today after a reddit user was an ass after I agreed with a sub mod on an extended blackout. This place is much cozier and you folks are a lot nicer.
I changed all my comments to one recommending Lemmy along with instructions on how to choose an instance.
I agreed with the mods in /r/gis that there should be an indefinite blackout and got downvoted. Some person even called me “fucking stupid.” That place is such a toxic dumpster fire. I’m happy for kbin/lemmy.
The tankie thing keeps pushing me away from lemmy, but lemmy seems to be the only software getting clients at the moment. So I’m torn. I want an iOS client badly, but I don’t want to support tankies.
I suppose I shouldn’t sell out for a nice app though.
