I'm not particularly concerned with how "the kbin user base" looks or any silly tribalism like that tbh. I'm just wondering if/why the issue might be happening. If the string doesn't appear in the git repo, that's a useful data point for sure. But plenty of people are confirming that something is going on, so the questions as to 1) what is causing it and 2) why are still out there.

Lee's is basically the sweet spot of flavour vs affordability for me. I can't speak to Cartem's, I don't have the money to justify the cost.

Right on, all of that makes sense. The issue with #2 is that when I went to Kbin mags via Lemmy, the upper-right menu continued to give a "Subscribe" option (instead of "Unsubscribe" for my subbed Lemmy communities). But I think that might have happened when I'd visit some Lemmy subs as well. Either way, it's early days, and this is a great new Fediverse app that I plan to use a ton. Thanks again!

Solid start! Questions re subscribed communities:

  1. Does Connect only display 10 communities under "subscribed" in the left-hand menu? There are a LOT of subscribed communities missing from mine. (Also, I believe that only communities from my home instance are showing up, but not 100% sure of that.
  2. Does Connect understand subscriptions to Kbin magazines that one subscribes to thru Lemmy? I don't think it recognizes my Kbin magazine subs, but I may be wrong.

Either way, this strikes me as an improvement over Jerboa, so I will be using it. Thanks for your hard work on this!

Or -- and I hope this sinks in one day -- it could be that using terms like "delusional" and "coward" to describe people you disagree with is a great way to convince people that you're not a jerk worth engaging with. Which is why they block you. Like I am now.

If all you can do with an honest answer to your question is insult the other person for their perspective, then don't be surprised to find yourself blocked on here by a lot of folks pretty quickly.

EDIT: So I peeked into your very brief post history, and sure enough you're already complaining about people being "quick to ban or block" and "debate meeeeee." So while I know you won't accept this criticism, let me assure you that your comment above provides nothing of substance to debate. You're being blocked by people because (1) you're being rude, and (2) no one owes you their attention, much less their content.

Personally, I mostly post from CBC because I find it to be a regularly published source of reliable news. If you like others, post others and see how they're received.

I don't know. There seems to be some openness on Mastodon to bots that are properly labelled as such, in my experience. I'd say open a bot account here and use it to give the crossposting a shot. Anyone who doesn't like it can easily block the bot account and move on with their day.

The two student loan cases from Feb. 28 are going to be interesting from a standing perspective. I'm not putting money on anything, but I think a finding of standing in Biden v. Nebraska is a stretch under the Court's last 4-5 decades of standing jurisprudence. But they may bend over backwards for the litigant who's ineligible to have his loans forgiven in DOE v. Brown. If there's standing for anyone in either or both cases, the loan forgiveness program is probably toast.

For sit-down or coffee, generally 20%, as I've done for years. Not going to go up to 25%, and it'll take bad service for me to dip below 18%.

Slightly different for delivery - I'll usually do a flat $5 if they're nearby and I'm just ordering a meal for me and my partner. If we're getting a lot of food, I'll add to that.

If I order takeout food (not coffee), I don't tip at all.
