@Sarah Brown While I agree that it's the governments and industries that are the biggest polluters and have the most power to change things - if they want to. I still think that what many millions of people do or don't do also matters. If nothing else to keep hope up and despair down.
@Sarah Brown I think we must allow us to be humans and make those occational mistakes. What is important is the direction, not the bumps on the road. I recycle a lot, but there are days when I am less thorough. I don't drive an electric car because.. well money but also because I have no place to charge one. Instead I've chosen one as small and light as I can live with. It's not perfect but it's what I can currently do.
@Melissa BearTrix ⌚ 🏳️⚧️ ⏰ I'm sorry you had to see that. You're a beautiful woman with a great personality and they don't know what they're talking about. You're welcome in my "female spaces" any time. They are not.
@Tobias I had to visit an optician (not sure if that's the right term in English) for mine. That included getting my eyes checked to get the right strength and also to make sure there wasn't any medical condition causing my problems.
@Sarah Brown Multifocal (glasses) make a huge difference. I started needing reading glasses, but eventually had to take them on and off so often that my eyes couldn't catch up. I can still drive safely without them, but barely read a book. Now with these, I'm wearing them all the time. It took a while (a month or so) to get used to but I wouldn't want to be without them.
If there is a problem with Hubzilla, it's not "because that's how the Fediverse works". If there is a problem with Friendica, it's not "because that's how the Fediverse works". If here is a problem with Calckey, it's not "because that's how the Fediverse works". If there is a problem with Akkoma, it's not "because that's how the Fediverse works". And if there is a problem with Mastodon, it's certainly not "because that's how the Fediverse works".
I would like everybody to be aware that there are so many different flavours out there. And I think that's beautiful. Pick something that's suitable for your needs, something you like, something that you are comfortable with. (You may pick more than one!)
