Tangent, but I remember when I was a kid I would try to explain people that I could “smell” the “air coonditioned air” and everyone was like “what? No you can’t, it’s just air. It doesn’t smell like anything.”
I never did figure out what the smell was. I’m guessing it was some kind of chemical; it wasn’t a bad smell, though. It smelled like ice cubes (which I know, doesn’t make a lot of sense either.)
Anyway, all this to say that a lot of people have very strong senses. (And the other comments about water not being neutral are correct as well!)

I adore this metric, thank you for sharing it lol

I don’t feel like satire that is making fun of important resources is very funny when plenty of people are trying to remove those public resources. Feels like getting mugged at knifepoint and handing them a gun to be ironic.

My brain just automatically supplied “hour” 48 hour cookies. (You make the dough then chill it in the fridge for a couple days to make the flavor change.)

We need leaders, but nobody wants to follow a nobody, and nobody with clout or name recognition or anything that might give them that necessary sense of authority wants to do anything with what they’ve got. And it doesn’t help that leftists don’t respond well to being told what to do by an authority figure.
I’m not saying we’re fucked, but I am saying it was never going to be easy and won’t be going forward no matter what metric you’re using to define movement or success.
The best thing an individual can do is do whatever they can in the sphere of their influence. That’s going to look like something different for everyone, too, so it’s hard to give specific advice or marching orders, however you want to frame it.
For me, it’s making sure to talk to members of my community and hold our mayor and council accountable by showing up to meetings and making our voices known. But I live somewhere where that means something. I’m lucky. I don’t know what to say to people who don’t feel like that’s an option for them.

I’ve been enjoying OnlyOffice myself! (LibreOffice is fine, I just like the UI of OnlyOffice more.)

I’ve got one; bought on a whim at the local farmer’s market from a beekeeper. I kind of hate it though.

Even that amount of interaction can be exhausting/taxing after a while. Hell, even passively observing hateful remarks, even if you never respond to them (which, generally, you shouldn’t. Don’t feed the trolls) is emotionally exhausting. My recommendation is to just curate your community. Make a private space wherever you want, invite your friends and the most positive fans (people who you would like to be friends with perhaps) and that’s it, close the door. YOU decide who gets to come into your house and speak to you.

It wasn’t THIS bad, but I remember recently a massive lifted truck revving its engines in our small town, flying massive trump flags on it went by while I was out for a walk with my husband. I commented, “Now there’s a guy who really wants you to know he’s an asshole” and this dude turned around and gave me the UGLIEST look and shook his head at me lmfao.

If the dev does indeed allow for custom servers, I imagine if the ‘main’ server fills up, someone could join a fresh/empty server and start anew?
