Bullshit Jobs is actually the only thing I've read from him, besides maybe one article. What else do you recommend?

OP is correct, this is from Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber. Here's a link on the anarchist library: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/david-graeber-bullshit-jobs
Highly recommend the book, really changed how I view work.
I remember when Voat came out and the slight exedous that brought. I made an account and everything but it never properly took off. I checked on it two or three years later and it was just filled with alt-right/racist/transphobic garbage. Sad it never took off as a reddit alternative, reddit likely would have greatly benefited from a proper alternative, not sad it closed down after I saw what it ended up.
So far the fediverse feels really different tho, very explicitly anti that type of shit. I'm sure it will pop up, they always do, but maybe now people know how to deal with it. Block it, defederate, deplatform.
Shit you right. My apologies, I skimmed your post very late at night lol.
Hopefully more apps pop up with more customization and settings like that.
On Connect for Lemmy, hold down on a comment to collapse it. Works the same was as rif did altho I'm still getting used to it.
So, when road closers happen, it can actually take a while for traffic to change and people to adapt to any change. Happens the other way too, if you add lanes to a highway for a few months traffic flows better, but after I think 6 or so months, I can remember actual number, it just returns to normal or worse.
I'd love to see the driveway shutdown for a while year straight (winter maintained of course) and see what happens to traffic. Winter maintenance might be easier because both lanes wouldn't need to be complete cleared for people to use it. I know less people bike in the winter, but is that because it's harder, or because the roads and paths aren't maintained?
Wish we didn't elect Sutcliffe tho, he's obviously being hostile to anyone outside a car. God forbid some one in a car needs to take a little longer than anyone else.
I enjoy when the driveway is closed to cars and I can use it commute to the market by bike. Sure I can go along the canal, but it's much fast and I'm out of people walking away on the road.
