Agreed. We are lucky to have that. Also I’m pretty sure that the photos were chosen to show off the worse of the US subway system in NYC. I remember riding it once and thought it was pretty clean.
I guarantee that someone could do the same for the other subway systems if they should choose too.
The ocho has made it lemmy
Didn’t know wingdings has those characters
Can I hijack this thread a for a small side bar? Why is Microsoft already replacing 11?
It’s better than nothing. Hopefully we can speed this up in next couple of years.
I kinda hope this was a happy accident and OP didn’t plan this lol
Fucking pop tarts lmao
It isn’t a coincidence that’s lemmy is keeping the upvote number at the “mark of the beast”.
I look forward to this happening

You have Canada doing their part, and now another English speaking country. Plus most of Europe seems to be on the right path. When will the rest of the world just finally shun the US for a being little bitch? Or idk like punish us with tarrifs or whatever idk…This coming from a disgruntled US citizen, I fucking hate this place.

Oh I thought we were on the shitposting or meme community.
Yeah this is a broad over exaggeration of the situation. Also using 4chan to drive a point is so over done to the point its a meme in itself.
But we are making the decision together. Look at all the conversations we’re having. Your confusing “not having a choice” with “learning to except majority opinion”
Trust me, the people in charge of the instances aren’t defederating because of their personal opinion. They are listening to us and making choices on what the majority feels.
People who keep touting the point that defederating from Meta means we are cutting people off from fediverse are picturing this situation wrong. Based on what I’ve read, people see this little island of people compared to the mainland where there will be physical barrier because shouldnt tear down the bridge.
But the net isnt like that. People have just as much freedom creating a Threads account as they do a Lemmy or Mastodon account.
And don’t say that the fediverse is too difficult to understand for the average person. That kind of rhetoric is what will push people away.
Everyone needs to be patient with growth. It’s not going to happen in a year just like it took years for reddit to grow. I do believe that more and more people will be interested in the fediverse once they realize that corporate oversight is non existent here. And that can only happen if we keep the major instances disconnected from Meta or any for profit company.
It’s really interesting to see the two sides of the coin. People are extremely passionate on both sides. I didn’t think people on the side of “in favor of federating with Threads” were just as passionate.
I won’t believe it until I see the whole bike without any support ropes out of frame.
