The whole ‘illegal ebikes’ thing has swung all the way toward banning scooters and putting license plates on bikes. IMO we should be taking advantage of the emobility boom instead of being like fuck it, drive more cars everywhere. Yeah there's nuance, but kids suddenly want to ride bikes to school we should probably lean into that, no?

@rysiek Yeah although the docs say it should be the id of the post

Using the Mastodon streaming API, I can watch my posts create ok. But if I delete one in the web interface, the ID that comes down the socket doesn't match anything I've seen anywhere else. Certainly doesn't correspond to the post that was deleted. It's the weirdest thing

@tchambers I think they cost more than that 😅
