Government censorship will cause TikTok’s services in the US to shut down, which will result in most users moving to another social media platform.

I think most people already use multiple platforms, so the only difference will be the time they put into their new main social media.

Did you use pliers or adjustable wrench to shut it off?

Are you going to switch out the blue handle?

Looks like you need to buy a full replacement part if you can’t find just the handle with O-Ring and cap.

Your valve looks like the one below:

Rejecting science, no good.

You have the science, good!

Do you have kids or pets that like to play with the toilet paper roll?

If yes, then Under.

If no, then Over.

Thanks for clarifying and going further into explaining your views to us!

Some people can be seen as being a dreamer[1], I see myself as such a person, I try to stay hopeful, I see it as a much more positive way of living in the world; as well as much healthier for our mental health

Lemmy as a niche platform not one that appeals the masses

Yes, Lemmy is currently a niche platform, but that is how many start off, it takes time and much effort to grow a community.

It is similar to grassroots movements, where people that are leaders or learn to become one are willing to speak with anyone for a cause they feel strongly about, and they start to grow slowly.

I see lemmy in that phase or light, where most activity will be from people that are willing to throw themselves out there and share their favorite hobbies and put in the energy to interact with strangers (whether it may be apositive or negative interaction is another thing).

It takes time for people to come out of their shells and to start being active on forums as well, hopefully in Lemmy we give people that opportunity to grow as people and to take chances to meet and discuss any topic with strangers.

A few dedicated people can’t foster a genuine community out of sheer enthusiasm.

Well, it takes a few to start something new, in my eyes all important causes and projects start with a few people just having fun or putting the time to create something new.

To accomplish anything in life, it will take time and a lot of energy and people willing to do that.

I just don’t personally see that happening.

It is okay to see the world in that way, but just putting a bit of effort into sharing or creating a community that you like, will help improve the community.

Activity would increase, if you create a community or decide to share more of your hobbies and opinions within those communities.

If the communities would be liked by Lemmurs or not, it is another matter, but in the end of the day we all have our own way of seeing the world and we can have discussions with people that are willing to share their views as well.

The only way we can continue to grow as people, is by forcing ourselves to push against our own bias and to keep talking with people that do not think or agree with what we have to say.

Much text to read, here is a Lemmur for a fun pic:

Change is not easy, it takes time and people willing to help foster that new change.

I am one of those people that is really into politics, but I try to interact with other communities once in a while!

It is an election year, so politics is always in an all time high on any forums and social media.

I suggest, if you are willing, to step up your game and be really active in the communites you would like to see flourish.

It may be lonely, but it tends to be when starting new things!

We are all trying the best we can, when we can, I give props to the lemmyverse and fediverse for all they do!

Thanks for posting, even if you used a burner account!

That is the way of the internet, pretty mild stuff, compared to the wild west, but good to know of the darker side of interacting with people with many different backgrounds and thinking.

Best we can do is try to be and do better than them!

We can also try to be friendly and call them out, in a mild way, so as to not be too confrontational, we don’t want them to double down or scare them…

Not sure if it would work or if the process I lined up would work in that instance, but all we can do is try!

It reminds me of Daryl Davis.

‘Saved’

Thanks for reminding us and for letting us know, I will have to make time to set one up for myself!

Nice, great to see more communities about shows!

Yes, I don’t think some people on this community care as much, when it comes to location sharing with cell phone manufacturer and apks that have access to that data.

Not fully off grid all the time.

Thanks for reminder!

Edit:

• wording was corrected and grammer/format as well
• improved wording and phrasing, a bit

Great feature, but no!

Generally I make sure to take enough pics to have an idea of the area I was in.

In addition , I also carry a small note pad, to write down cords., so that I may frequent said areas in the future.

Another option, is to manually pin locations on an open source apk map; this device of choice, would have limited network connections and any data saved would be encrypted.

Exampl apk: OSM Automated Navigation Directions

That would work!

I seem to prefer the pronunciation of the prefix of ‘implode’ vs ‘explode’, a bit too much, hahaha

Yes, that one would work!

Seems, I wanted an excuse to use the word, ‘implode’, hahaha

hahaha, this reminds me of certain politicians…

Where they say the quiet part out loud, while most people will ignore it and the status quo continues as is.

We don’t want the Silicon Valley bubble to imploding, right?

p.s. would burst be a better word than imploding? word of the day…

Thanks!
