Yeah, I’m in one of those “safe” states right now, doesn’t mean the amount of bullying and straight up assault has gone down, in fact, in the small rural town I live in it’s probably more dangerous to be trans than it would to be so in Miami or Houston.
Just a heads up, looks like Relay pro will still be a thing moving to a sub mode (dev states $2-$3/month)
I’m mainly keeping an alt account for /r/SQL because for it’s sort of a defacto professional repository (also the only place you can ask for and get a sciprt for a bespoke data cleaning on a large relational DB in about 60 minutes).
I do get deleting accounts (and I’m deleting my “main” just commenting account) but some of the accounts have literally irreplaceable info, not just in the tech space, but my god some of the guides for gaming in older games only exist on reddit (like getting a full 50 monuments in the original Guild Wars, or setting up a good build for Bioshock 2). So I’m keeping my “info” accounts for as long as I can, I know it adds value to reddit being assholes, but I feel it adds more value to a stressed out Admin over their head in a bad situation, or some frustrated retro gamer that doesn’t want to know the glitch mode that everyone uses right now.
The Ama was enough for me, I’m keeping my reddit account active before a delete and scrub on the 28th just to . . . IDK watch the world burn and comment on it.
Same with me, most of my personal network is all 3rd party based so I’ll point them at lemmy or here.
One is the adventure story that almost seems scripted, one is a tradegy that is so common it makes my brain hurt.
I do concede that the missing sub is missing something, so I’m hoping that International law catches up and demands that all these “experimental” commercial subs also has $500 million in gold as balast . . . so it’s a treasure hunt also, just to make the story perfect (because right now it’s moved from an adventure story, to a horror, it needs a third act).
I don’t need to know migrants are dieing, that’s just a function of our world. I know why overloaded fishing boats sink, there is no mystery there, it’s inherently a less “fun” (god that’s terrible to say) story.
