I’m from a working class family in the UK and my experience has been the opposite of yours. Three of my 4 grandparents are immigrants. I went to a normal comprehensive catholic school and I was the first in my family to even go to college, let alone get A levels. I got into a Russell Group university (equivalent of Ivy League) based on merit, and although I felt poor as fuck compared to the majority of other students, I loved it and did very well. I went on to win a highly competitive full scholarship for a masters and then PhD. Admittedly, the people I’m still friends from my university days tend to be the people I met while working to support myself through my undergraduate - some enrolled at the university, some not. I haven’t kept in contact with any of the super wealthy or middle/upper class people I met there, we just didn’t have enough in common. But as a child born in the 80s to working class, uneducated parents, the system worked very well for me. Same goes for my brother. He has a pretty important job in Westminster now. My late- grandfather an Irishman, the 11th child of a struggling diary farmer, couldn’t believe the success his grandchildren achieved coming from such a background. He planned to get business cards made up saying “Mr X, grandfather to Dr SomeoneElse, PhD” to hand out to his friends back home 😂 unfortunately he died before I completed my studies but the thought still makes me laugh!

Fuck the tories, and fuck a lot of British culture/society, but I’m immensely grateful for the excellent (free) primary and secondary education I received, the excellent (subsidised) tertiary+ education I received, and the lifetime of free healthcare I continue to receive.

Novid club for the win!!

Same here. Our core values are the same, but our personal interests are very different. Our personalities are quite different too, but they’re complimentary. What one of us needs, the other can provide. We’re both better together.

This comment was a rollercoaster! Thank god crisis is adverted!

The great big hole is there either way!

Well I’m sold!

This is probably a stupid question but do they have running water? I assume they can use generators or solar if they’re not on the power grid, septic tank, satellite internet. But water seems tricky. And mail, but I guess you collect it from town. And how far is town? Surely an hours drive would be the limit of what’s reasonable?

Can’t you just smell the mildew?!

Looks like the simple fixes are the best! I haven’t had too much time to use it this evening but no crashes yet, and I would have expected one by now base on my experience this morning.

I deleted the beta and re-download it from the App Store before, but I’ve just logged out, deleted, reinstalled and logged in again. I’ll let you know in about an hour if I see any improvement!

Yup, literally the first thing I tried to do on the App Store version. I didn’t get a “looks like Lemmios crashed…” message this time so I couldn’t send feedback. Also the screen kinda jumps sometimes when reading a long thread. You’ll be in the middle of reading comments (not sorted by new) and suddenly the text disappears (but the app doesn’t crash) and you have to reload it. That was happening on the beta earlier but you can’t really screenshot it so I didn’t report it. I think I sent 5-10 crash reports today alone. I have a new iPhone with the latest software so I’m not really sure what’s going on. Tbch I’d pretty much made Lemmios my primary app but it’s been so buggy today I had to go back to Memmy.

EDIT: it did the screen thing as soon as I posted that reply. I was reading it back when suddenly it disappeared

I just downloaded the alpha version, replied to a comment and the app immediately crashed like it has been doing all day on the beta version 😔 maybe it’s me?!

This one. I’ve sent multiple crash reports today, some with additional info, some without. I also provided feedback that the text size on comment replies is teeny tiny since you added the ability to add photos to comments. I believe I sent feedback from my alt account, SomeoneElse if that helps.

The TestFlight version is crashing an awful lot today. Is the alpha release better?

Definition of an “ig baddie” for anyone like me who didn’t know:

An Instagram Baddie can be defined as a woman who almost always looks “flawless.” They’re known for high follower counts, fan pages, and modernized fashion sense. Many instagram baddies are influencers, meaning clothing and makeup brands reach out to them for promotion
